Went to tire shop to change a flat and told ‘em they couldn’t due to a missing socket (?). I understand it’s a wheel lock and I looked near my jack and glove box and couldn’t find anything. Do I need to order a whole new set at this point or is there another option? Thanks in advance!

Amazon sells a set for $30-50. My boy had to get one last year because he also bought a car without the wheel lock key
This locking type is possibly the junkiest of all. They strip really easily. And the shop likely doesn’t want to fork over the $25 to replace it when it strips off.
That shop could 100% remove it. They just don’t want to. And I totally understand that. But if it was my shop, I’d be up front about it and give the customer the option.
My wife’s Hyundai had these. One of the first things I did after we bought it was take those infernal things off and put on regular lug nuts.
