Yes. a body shop or a tire shop can do it. Just have them take the lock off. They might do it for free if they have an hourly guy do it

yea discount has a set.. unless... are they oem? a dealer will have a set... i bet if you pay the parts dept. 10 bucks to borrow it in the parking lot and buy a new set from them...

They make a wheel lock removal set. I have one at work. Or in a fix I have taken a deep socket that fits real snug over the lock and beat it on with a BFH then use an impact to remove the lock.

That trick works best if you DONT use an impact, but its the same concept as a universal set.
