When Should You Consider a Car Key Replacement?

Lost key – if you lose one of the two keys you have for your car, then you are going to want to replace the one you lost. Though you have a spare key and replacement isn’t immediate, you should still have a second key, and get it replaced as soon as possible

Broken key – when your key is broken, warped, worn down, bent, or otherwise compromised it is time to get a new key.

How Do You Get a Car Key Replacement?

There are three primary steps to getting your car key replaced.

1. Get your VIN (vehicle identification number) from your car dashboard or registration form so that you have the exact make and model of your car including the year. This matters when you have to get a key replaced.
2. Do your research to find a local locksmith that knows about car key replacement. It may be surprising to find that not all locksmiths have this expertise.
3. Have your chosen local locksmith create a replacement key for you. If you have a complex key, your first instinct may be to go to the dealership. However, most locksmiths are capable of handling car key replacement. A good locksmith can help you save money and time compared to the dealership.
