How to Prevent Vehicle Lock Problems Before They Happen
While we’re always ready to help when emergencies arise, a few simple steps can help you avoid lockouts and other key troubles:
- Keep a Spare Key Handy: Store a backup key in a secure place, or leave one with a trusted friend or family member.
- Change Your Remote Battery Regularly: Weak batteries can cause your remote to stop working unexpectedly.
- Consider a Key Finder: Devices like Tile or Apple AirTags can help you locate your keys quickly if they go missing.
- Don’t Force Stuck Locks or Ignitions: If your key won’t turn or your lock feels stuck, call a professional rather than forcing it and risking a broken key.
Taking these precautions can save you stress and money down the line.
