Check if you have a spare key
Before going ahead to get a new car key made, check if you have a spare key. If you do, it may save you the extra cost and hassle of getting a new key. However, if you do not have a spare key, proceed to the next step.
Contact a locksmith
The first option to get a new car key made is to contact a locksmith. Locksmiths specialize in key duplication, and they may be able to make a new key for you on the spot. Ensure that you have the necessary information about your car, including the make, model, and year, to provide to the locksmith.
Contact your car dealership
If you do not want to use a locksmith or if they are unavailable, you can contact your car dealership to get a new key made. However, this option may be more expensive than using a locksmith. You will also need to provide your vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of ownership to the dealership.
Contact a mobile key cutting service
If you are unable to go to a locksmith or dealership, you may consider using a mobile key cutting service. These services can come to your location and make a new key for you on the spot. Similar to using a locksmith or dealership, you will need to provide the necessary information about your car and proof of ownership.
Consider buying a key replacement kit
If you have some DIY skills, you can consider getting a key replacement kit. These kits include the necessary tools and instructions to make a new key for your car. However, it may take longer and require more effort than using a locksmith or dealership. It is also essential to ensure that the kit is compatible with your car’s make and model.
