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.
Try your spare key. Usually the key will wear out and make it so you cant start the car.
