A Car Key // Professional Auto Locksmith Woodbridge

If you’re lucky, it will only be to get a spare set of keys made. Having a spare key can be extremely useful, and can mean you’re less likely to find yourself unable to get into your vehicle. Plus, if you share the vehicle with someone else, it means that there’s no need to constantly be trading keys back and forth.

If you’re less lucky though, you may find, for one reason or another, that you can’t get into your vehicle. Perhaps you’ve locked the keys inside, perhaps you’ve lost them altogether, or maybe the key or the lock itself has been damaged in some way. In all of these cases, calling an auto locksmith will be the first step to getting the problem resolved. If needed, they can come out to you, and in many cases, they’ll be able to fix the problem there and then.

But when you consider the alternative options available to you, an auto locksmith is usually the fastest and most affordable way to go. Other options include:

• Car insurance – some policies will recover the loss or damage of your keys, but this could be slow, and is likely to affect your no claims bonus
• Roadside assistance – if you’re stuck somewhere out and about, you might be able to ask roadside assistance for help. But this can be slow, and there’s no guarantee that they’ll be able to help other than to tow your vehicle
• Local garage – a local garage is likely to be able to help, but it will probably require towing your vehicle there, meaning you’ll have to pay for that plus the key itself.

On the other hand, an auto locksmith can often do the job there and then, and at an affordable price too
