I just took my car into the shop to get its brakes fixed and They called me back saying they could not find my wheel look for the rims. I made sure when i was taking it down there that I put it in the center consol. I went back down there to give it a look for myself and I was not there nor in any other part of my car ...hmmmmmm???
So my queston is were can i get a replacement wheel lock key for my 1996 ES300. I called a local dealer and they told me to use my owners manual and get some info from that. At this point I was really pissed & not paying attention that well to what they are saying. When i called back the service dept. was closed. So I hoping some one can piont me in the right way. Any help would be cool thank guys.

sorry to sound dumb but what's a wheel lock key? I never used one on my 96 stock wheels...

 

A wheel lock key is a special safety feature to prevent theft of wheels. The keys come in different sizes and shapes, and only one certain key can fit into a lug nut for removal.



I don't believe the '96 ES came with wheel locks.

 

Just get rid of those locks. I recently broke my wheel lock key, and I brought it into Tire Kingdom and thye were able to remove 3 of them, and then Toyota was able to remove the last one. I then went to a junkyard and found EXACT replacement lugnuts from a Toyota Cressida. All in all, it cost me about $20

 

u got factory locks? you can goto the dealer they have a set called master key lock ask them to remove it for you... but if u got aftermarket wheel lock is the special key design on the outside or inside (hollow design) if you have the outside design (looks pretty much like a regular wheel lock) just get a gator grip socket and use a regular socket wrench
