How would you go about getting a replacement car key?

Answer 1

To get a replacement car key, first check if you have a spare. If not, note your car’s make, model, and year. Then contact a local locksmith, dealership, or roadside assistance for help. You’ll likely need to show ID and proof of ownership.

Answer 2

For an older car, a locksmith can make a copy of the existing car key to keep as a spare in case you lose your key. If you lose your key and don't have a spare, the locksmith may have to dismantle your lock in order to make a replacement key. For a 'smart key' or an electronic fob, the only option for obtaining a replacement may be going to the dealer to get one.
