How to Get Car Key Replacement When You’ve Lost Your Keys

Losing your car keys is extremely frustrating. Or maybe you didn't lose your key, but it's not working properly, and you can’t get in or start your vehicle. So, what should you do? Here's how to get a car key replacement when you've lost your keys.

Write Down All Your Vehicle's Information

Once you've found yourself in a situation where you need to replace your car keys, the first thing you should do is copy down your vehicle's entire VIN number. Your VIN number, a combination of 17 letters and numbers, is usually located on the dashboard near the driver's side of your car. You can see it through the window from the outside. If you are unable to locate your car's VIN number, it should be printed on your insurance card, which should be in your car at all times. Also, write down your car's year, make and model. You'll need all this information for your locksmith to get you an accurate car key replacement.
