I don't see why a regular locksmith can't open the door, or at least the opposite door, so that you can get in. Especially if you've got a copy of the parts catalogue showing details on the the linkage set up to show to the locksmith. In any case, the transport company is insured against any damage that may occcur to your vehicle in transport. So while no damage should occur durring the opening of your vehicle, they should still foot the bill for any, and all repairs relating to this incident. My advice would be to stonewall them. Tell them that if they do not feel comfortable doing this themselves, then they need to hire a specialist fix it for them/you! They're trying to scare you into taking possession of the vehicle, so they can relieve themselves of responsibility, and make you foot the bill. If worse come to worse, then yeah, you want to make sure that you, or the recipient take possession of the vehicle in a timely mannor. But they caused this problem, and they'll need to resolve it. Just to make sure, double check the contract you signed, and see if perhaps it does mention anything regarding lockouts. -Robert vin 6585 "X" To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
