Thanks for recommending McGard to replace my son's Volvo V70's locking wheel nut.

Our son recently lost the locking wheel nut for his Volvo V70 estate car, an event that must happen quite often. After numerous enquiries to the local Volvo dealer, who were not at all helpful, and tyre repair centres, we suddenly thought of your website. There we found a letter from 2009 concerning this problem. It directed us to a company in Germany called "McGard" who he contacted. They sent him a new key. All he had to do was provide a photo and proof that he is the owner, all done by e-mail and payment of 18 Euros. Thank you very much for your help.
