π DID YOUR CAR COME WITH TWO KEYS?
This is one of the most important questions to ask β and one that could save you a serious amount of money down the line.
If you lose your only key to a modern vehicle, you're not just looking at a locksmith call-out. You could be facing:
β
Full vehicle recovery costs
β
Dealer-level programming charges
β
Lengthy wait times with no car to drive
β
Bills running into several hundreds β sometimes over $1,000
It's not a situation anyone wants to find themselves in. But the good news is β it's completely avoidable.
π BUYING A NEW OR USED VEHICLE?
Before you drive away, make sure it comes with two keys. If the seller only has one, don't accept that as the norm β ask for a second to be cut and programmed before the sale, or factor the cost into your negotiations.
And if previous owners had additional keys for your vehicle, do everything you can to have those keys accounted for. It's not just about cost β it's about your vehicle's security too.
π ALREADY ONLY HAVE ONE KEY?
Don't wait until you lose it to sort a spare. Get one cut and programmed now, while it's straightforward and affordable.
We supply and program spare keys for most makes and models across Lake Macquarie and the surrounding areas β using genuine dealer-level equipment, without the dealer price tag.
