Things to remember before calling a locksmith or dealer
Calling an automotive locksmith or a dealer near your location when you need a key replacement is probably the most common thing to do. Based on your location, an automotive locksmith can come to you, or you may choose to tow the car to the dealer.
We outline a few points to remember, to help you save some time and money regardless of which option you choose:
1 .First, always ask for a quote. Describe the problem in detail and give the automotive locksmith all the details, even if you think they may not be relevant.
2. Moreover, if the locksmith has all the details, it can speed up the process and make it more cost-effective. Remember to give them your exact location to prevent a long waiting period. It may also affect the price.
3. In addition, tell the locksmith/dealer if the ignition was changed before, as far as you know. A previous ignition change may result in different keys for the ignition and doors.
4. Most models today are equipped with chips or transponders, so make sure you mention the exact year, make and model and ask the locksmith if they have the necessary tools in their truck to code the key. Not all locksmiths have a key coding machine to program those keys.
5. In addition, it’s important to have the (!!!!)VIN number available as the locksmith may need it.
6. Finally, remember that for most makes & models, there is no need to tow the car to the dealer should you lose your car keys. You can try and call the AAA, or an automotive locksmith who should be able to make you a new car key on site.

How to choose the right locksmith for cars when all car keys are lost?
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 chip keys & remote key fobs, require additional equipment.
2.In addition, ask the locksmith if he or she is licensed bonded & insured.
3. Explain your problem clearly. Lost car keys or lost ignition keys are something different from ignition problems or replacements.
4. In case the key doesn’t turn in the ignition, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new replacement key. Sometimes its easier to replace the ignition instead.
5. In addition, verify the automotive locksmith actually serve your area to prevent a long waiting period.
6. If you are locked out of the car and lost your car keys, mention it to the locksmith, so they will know this is an emergency situation.
7. Ask if the locksmiths are part of AAA(in case you are). Not all locksmiths work with AAA and even though you can sometimes get your money back if you lost your car keys, it is not certain. However, it is good to try. In addition, try to see maybe your insurance policy cover replacement car keys. (!!!) Read more here.
8. Finally, In case you lost your car keys AND the ignition was changed before, let the automotive locksmith know about that, sometimes it may prevent them from making the key. In addition, it may result in a higher cost.
