    Will the dealer give you replace the wheel lock for free? It broke off so easily!

    I doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I had one fall apart a couple of years ago. The patterned part fell out of the key.

    thank you! and good for you maybe i'll ask MoT too... the patterned part on mine fell out too, I was able to put it back, but after that the thing just kept turning inside the socket... after I removed 2 wheels.. so the other 2 were delayed

    Can I get a new wheel lock key from a dealer? How much would that be? I went to get my winters on this Sunday only to find out that the key wasn't in the trunk. I got my tires changed this summer and I guess the key was left there or something . Bottom line is.... I don't have it . I need to get that this week because saturday I'm getting my fronk brakes changed as well. Any suggestions? can the key from another Mazda 3 work? Please help!

    Smile Re: Wheel Lock Broke

    Yes I did... in 2007. But I got new summer tires this June and they didn't ask for it so I'm guessing they went through and found it. But when the guys at Tires23 looked for it, it wasn't there, I went home and went through the whole car and nothing! I'm guessing it was left at the shop in the summer. I'm gonna give the guys a call but I think it's a long shot.

    Yeah, I figured as much. I wonder if I can just pick one up from a dealer or if it has to be ordered and how much more time that'll take. I need to get those brakes changed soon :-P. And would love to get my winter tires on before a snowfall too bc I'm gonna have an interesting time driving with my summers in snow

    If i was you and had this problem, i you have one or 2 bolts to change, then go to the dealer and tell them that you need 2 bolts to be replaced cause the oem ones are broken. They should check in the garage and give you those 1 or 2 bolts for free and right away

    I think they have in stock many of them...

    Hmmmm

    I lost my McGard wheel lock for my Golf which I am 100% sure they make the Mazda ones. I called McGard and they asked me to take a picture of the bolts, the car and a copy of owners registration. I think it cost like $25 to have a new one sent

    Well, I went to Oakville Mazda and got the old ones off and got new ones. This time I made sure the key was in the glove compartment lol. Andrew and Tiffany were very helpful there, I can now change my brakes and put on the winter tires.

    Thanks guys!

    PS: I never saw my original key, I think the dealer forgot to include it or something. Oh well!
