Why have Replacement Vehicle Keys?

If you've lost or misplaced your original car key, it's important to take precautions to ensure your vehicle's safety. If someone has noticed you dropping your keys, there is a possibility that they could follow you to find out where your car is stored. For peace of mind, it is important that you take steps to ensure that only you can gain access to your vehicle.

Whether you have a car, van or motor-home, our experienced auto locksmiths use the latest technologies to carry out immobiliser key cutting and programming and can program remote key fobs on site, for most makes and models of domestic and commercial vehicle, saving you both time and money not having to contact your main dealer.

Another common reason why people need replacement or spare car keys is that the original set has become worn or damaged. Over time, the metal and plastics in car keys can become worn down or bent, making them difficult to insert into the ignition or lock. Additionally, If your car keys or key fob are in this condition, it’s important to have them replaced, as they may no longer function properly and could even cause damage to your car’s ignition or locking system.

Aside from the above, another important reason to have replacement car keys is the increase in car theft. Many modern cars come equipped with sophisticated security systems that prevent theft by requiring a specific key or key fob to start the car. However, these systems can also make it difficult for car owners to replace lost or damaged keys, as the keys need to be programmed to work with the car’s security system. A good replacement car key service, such as South Wales Auto Locksmith will have the necessary equipment and expertise to program new keys to work with your car’s security system, ensuring that your car remains protected from theft.
