What NOT to do when you lose your car key
Before calling the dealership or trying a DIY fix, read this. Most drivers end up spending more by making these common mistakes.
Do not go to the dealership first.
Dealerships charge significantly more for key replacement and often require you to tow the vehicle to their location before any work begins.
Do not order a key online and expect it to work.
A replacement key purchased online must still be cut to your vehicle's lock profile and programmed to your car's immobilizer. Without this, it will not start your vehicle.
Do not use an unlicensed key cutter.
Improperly cut or programmed keys can damage your vehicle's ignition cylinder or lock out your immobilizer system permanently.
Do not ignore a worn or cracking key.
A key that is visibly worn or cracked will break at the worst possible moment. Get a spare cut before it fails completely.
