Getting a replacement car key doesn’t need to be complex. Just follow these steps to streamline the process:
Start by providing the make, model, and year of your car. This information allows the locksmith to identify the correct key type and ensures a precise, efficient replacement process.
To ensure secure and legitimate service, be prepared to provide proof of ownership, such as your vehicle registration and a personal ID. This verification helps confirm your right to access the vehicle.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for key replacement. You can usually find it on the dashboard, inside the driver’s door jamb, or on your insurance card. This number helps the locksmith match the exact key type for your vehicle.
Contact us to schedule your key replacement. We’ll work around your schedule and offer emergency services when needed, ensuring you’re back on the road as quickly as possible.
The cost of car key replacement can vary depending on several factors:
Check Your Car Insurance
Some insurance policies cover the cost of key replacement. Check with your provider to see if this benefit is included.
Consider a Spare Key
Avoid future costs by investing in a spare key. Having a duplicate on hand prevents lockouts and reduces the need for urgent replacements.
Contact Your Dealership
While dealerships can offer replacements, locksmiths typically provide faster service at a lower cost. Still, it may be worthwhile to compare options, as some dealerships offer discounts for key replacements.
Different cars use different types of keys, each with unique security and convenience features. Understanding these key types helps you choose the best replacement option.
Note: Many modern keys require programming, which can add $50 to $100 to the total cost.
