IF there still the factory locks, a GM dealer has a master Key to get them off. I would take it to any tire place, in being how you dont have the key, they can get them off, they will get mangled, but your gonna want a better set of locks anyway.

or if you just want the replacement key then look under one of your trunk panels and youll have the sticker there that the dealer can order your new key from.

I had to ruin a Craftsman socket by pounding it on the locks, on the third one it cracked, but thankfully also worked on the fourth lock.

a tire shop can break them off by pounding a socket onto them, and using the air gun to get it off. It will definately ruin the lock
