Car Key Replacement: A Guide on Misconceptions About Car Key Replacement.
Losing car keys or locking them inside the car happens more often than we'd like. Also, if your engine doesn't start or if the key fails to open the car door, you might need a car key replacement. While a locksmith can easily do the job, a few myths about car key replacements still exist. Here are 3 of the most common misconceptions about key replacements.
1. Only the Dealership or Manufacturer can Replace your Car Key
While it's not true, many people believe that only manufacturers and dealers of cars can replace your lost or malfunctioning car key. Yes, they have all the right tools and software, but they are not the only ones who can do the job. A professional locksmith is a cost-effective and viable option with a much faster turnaround.
2. You Need an Original Key for the Duplication Process
Most people think that it is impossible to replace a lost car key without the original key but this is not the case. With relevant information on the vehicle (Make, Model, Year, VIN, Title, etc.), an experienced locksmith can replace and duplicate keys for any vehicle including:
- transponder keys
- basic keys
- key fobs/electronic transmitters
- laser-cut keys
3. It's Not a Job for a Locksmith
Car dealers and manufacturers replace lost and malfunctioning car keys but may not necessarily be available when you need them. A professional locksmith can come to you any time, night or day.
