How to choose the right automotive locksmith for lost car keys in Charleston, SC 29403?

 

  1. First, make sure the locksmith is aware of the year, make & models of the car. Some locksmiths can make old car keys, but new ones, including transponder and chip keys, require additional equipment.
  2. In addition, ask the locksmith if he is licensed bonded & insured
  3. Furthermore, ask what type of lost car keys services do they offer in your area.
  4. Explain your problem clearly. Lost car keys or lost ignition keys are something different from ignition problem.

First, here is a brief explanation of how to replace your lost car key and the options you have:

 

1. Call an automotive locksmith who deals with replacement car keys.

An automotive locksmith can make most car keys on site, including chip keys or remotes.  Most automotive locksmiths offer a mobile service since most car keys after 2000 needs to be programmed to the car. That means that the car has to be present.

In addition, please make sure that the locksmith carries the necessary equipment to make a replacement key and the blank.

 

Pros:

Very convenient – mobile automotive locksmith is usually near you and will come to your location.
Fast – a locksmith is usually available 24 hrs. a day
Price – most often the cheapest way to go as car key replacement cost is a huge factor.

 

Cons:

Availability of keys – not all automotive locksmiths carry all the key blanks for all makes and models. Also, not all of them carry the equipment to program the new car keys. Especially for high-security models.

What to ask when calling an automotive locksmith:

A. How much does it cost for a new car key – specify the exact year make and model of the car.

B. How long will it take to make a replacement key.

C. If you lost your key and AAA can’t help, ask if you can get an invoice to prove you paid for the service so AAA can give you the money back

 

2. Order the key online –

Unlike car key replacement services offered by an automotive locksmith, where you know don’t know the actual total price, order a key online is a good way to handle your budget. You know exactly how much a new key will cost, including all taxes and fees.

 

Pros:

Price – Most chances that this is the cheapest way to get the actual key.

 

Cons:

Programming – The key that you get still needs to be cut and programmed to start the car. You still have to call a locksmith or the dealer to do that which will result in an additional charge.

Time – Takes a few days to get the key, plus the time to schedule an appointment or tow the car.

 

3. Replace your car key at the dealer

A dealer is a good option if you are having time and in no rush. Most chances it would be a bit more expensive than the locksmith, but you can be sure that you get a new key once you tow the car there.

 

Pros:

Availability of car keys – The dealer will have the key for your car. Also, you can be sure that they will have the necessary equipment to program and cut the key

 

Cons:

Price – The dealer usually charges more than a locksmith to cut and program the key. Also, the car will need to get to the dealer somehow, which means an additional cost.

Availability – unlike most locksmiths, the dealers only work at certain hours. Therefore, if you need a replacement key ASAP, this is a problem.
