A man who got the tires changed on his Lexus GS350 had a gut-wrenching realization after bringing his car into the shop.
Cole (@rollincole_7) uploaded a video on social media explaining that the wheels on his tires were outfitted with a widely used anti-theft mechanism: wheel locks. But there was one problem.
“Tell me if I’m crazy here: I just got new tires two weeks ago. As soon as I drop my car off, they call me, and they say, 'Hey, you have wheel locks. Do you know where that socket’s at?' And I then realized I threw that away when I did my brakes, probably, on accident,” he revealed to his viewers.
But as it turns out, the concern of the tire shop employees wasn’t rooted in being able to swap his tires. Rather, they wanted to know if Cole was fine with getting those wheel locks tossed out, as they informed him that they could knock the wheel locks off without much issue.
“So, they said, 'Hey, if you don’t care about not having that on your car anymore, it’s fine. We’ll get those off anyways, put the tires on. It’s not gonna be a problem,'” he says they remarked.
