I Lost My Car Key - HELP!

There are few things more stressful than losing a car key, because a car key is more than just a small, physical item: it is the first step on a pathway to a smooth day.

Whether the key took a swim with you at Long Beach, made its way to the trash or the toilet via your toddler, or was dropped God knows where after a night of hard "studying" by your newly-minted college kid, if you don't have a car key, you don't have a car, and if you don't have a car, you won't get to work on time, and if you don't get to work on time, you'll fall behind, and if you fall behind... well, you get the picture.

So what do you do if you've lost your car key?

First, call a dependable automotive locksmith, get a quote (make sure you get a full quote with all parts, programming, cutting, and etc included!), and set up an appointment. A good locksmith will ask you a few questions, so don't be impatient or put off by this; this is a sign that you're dealing with someone who can actually help you rather than a scammer who simply wants to show up and get paid, whether they have the skill and equipment to get the job done or not.

Second, get your ownership information ready, like your valid, active driver's license and the vehicle's registration. We will need this to verify that you own the car and that we are legally cleared to give you a brand new key. We will want to see this as soon as we get on scene before we start to work, and if a locksmith doesn't care about this, they are not a trustworthy company.

Finally, get back on the road and back to your busy life - yes, it's really that easy.
