When dealing with sticky situations like losing your car keys, it’s ideal to get things taken care of as fast as possible — especially when the time spent between problem and solution leaves you effectively stranded at home. Whether through Uber or taxi or just obtaining a friend or loved one to take you to the dealership, the run-around is a hassle best avoided.
And of course the wait time: dealerships are oftentimes busy with all sorts of dealings, thus making for long lines and wait-times, whereas car key providers specialize in precisely this line of work. Additionally, since most car key providers work through locksmiths, there is no need for the inconvenience of finding a way to get downtown without a car on hand: simply give them a call and they’ll come directly to you!
At this time, it’s natural to wonder if dealerships and suppliers are really the only choices when it comes to replacing lost car keys. For a lot of people, the natural response to something going wrong — particularly something with such a pricey solution — is to take matters into their own hands and try fixing it themselves. And technically, yes, this is possible! Modern car keys are fairly technologically advanced, but the key components can be found on the internet, usually through E-Bay or something in that vein.
Just get your hands on a metal blade, a transponder chip, and a remote control, and technically you’re in business! A bit of research and a bit of cash is all it takes… in theory. Our mobile service may come to you at a convenient time and replace your key so that you’ve got a spare or spares available for that moment when you can’t find your keys.
