Why Should I Get a Second Car Key?

A second car key is more than just a good idea... It's peace of mind, and something that every car owner should have.

Of course, we're locksmiths. We would say that, wouldn't we?

But there's a reason why we've been in business for over 13 years now, serving the South Shore community in all of their locksmithing needs, and that's because there is a need, and we fulfill it well.

Why is it so important to have a second car key, then? Here are three reasons:

1.) It's a LOT cheaper than getting a key from scratch...

Should you lose all of your car keys, you need not call the junk yard: we can still help you out! We are able to make new keys for over 95% of vehicles on the road today, even if you don't have one at all!

However, it's usually at least $75-$100 more to make a new key from scratch than if you were to simply get a second car key before the first gets lost. A quick easy way to save some money (and to save yourself the stress of being forced to wait for a new one) is to get a second car key before you need it.

2.) It's a LOT cheaper than calling a tow every time you lock your keys in the car...

Calling a tow out once when you've locked your keys in the car probably won't set you back too badly. However, by the second or third time, you're paying more than you would have if you simply had a second key to open up the car and grab the first.

3.) It's a LOT less stress when others use your car...

If you've got a spouse, roommate, sibling, or - may God have mercy on you - a teenager with whom you share the car, then you are already probably well acquainted with the stress of sending someone off with your car and its one key.

The best way to alleviate that stress would be to make sure that you have a second key hidden away at home, so that when you get the inevitable call, you have more than just an earful to give to your loved one.

It's always good to be prepared, and the math is easy enough for a kindegardener on this one: your key + a spare key = PEACE OF MIND.
