Update: I received the two replacement keys very quickly, followed the directions on the back of the invoice, and only managed to get one tired replaced before both keys stripped again. I have to bring the car into the garage now to get the keys forcibly removed and I will never put these locks back on again. Customer service has been great, but this product leaves much to be desired. I give stars in this review for the speedy service, but would give much lower rating for the quality of these keys.
Original review:
My Kia Forte came with McGard wheel locks installed. When I decided to do the summer/winter tire changes myself, I soon discovered that you have to be REALLY careful not to strip the lock key, or else you are stuck. This happened the first time, and I contacted McGard to get a new key. They FedExed it to me and arrived the next day! Unfortunately, the same thing happened the next time, even while being very careful. I contacted the same agent (Cara) and not only did they not charge me for the replacement, they sent me TWO keys so that I wouldn't get stuck like this again, and advised me to be careful with overtightening. I have to say that Cara and the the McGard customer team made the very best of a frustrating situation for me. I am extremely satisfied with the resolution.
