If they cannot then they shouldn't even try.

If they tried and mess yours up, you should already have the wheels off already AND a new set of wheels, at their own expense.

no kidding especially if they messed up the lug itself

If that is the case then the company that did it owes you new lug nuts and you will probably need a new wheel hub as well (I know out of experience I cross threaded my lug bolts once).:no:

Not true. If he gave it the okay to try to remove the locks he was pretty much giving it the okay regardless what happens. You can try to get them to pay though, but they will say something like this.

take a pic of the wheel.....they're so many differant versions plus we don't know how much clearance there is around the lock to the to the wheel so it's impossible to give any insight on getting them off.

If you didn't get the lock off - talk to Josh at Rockwell Automotive near Singleton and Jimmy Carter. He can probably do it.

used to work at a high performance wheel shop, i am willing to bet that you have open ended spline drive that uses the cheap black key? we had so many problems with those things.

Post pictures, there is a good chance someone here has a key for it or can send you to a place that does...

Have someone weld a nut on there and twist it off with that.
