Due to the complexities of how we live, sometimes everybody tends to forget or misplace things. How unfortunate would it be if you are in an emergency situation and you lose your car keys when you need them the most! Below is a list of what to do if you lose your car keys:

1. Keep yourself calm.
Recompose yourself and think clearly. Where could you have placed your car keys? You may have the option of simply using the spare car keys if you kept them separately. If there are no spare car keys, continue reading.

2.Re-examine again your ‘where you have been’ area.
Check the area where you usually place your car keys again and if it all fails, go over your memory lane as to rethink ‘where did you go first thing at the start of the day’ and check it physically. It also helps to search for your keys in the most unlikely places. This might sound corny, but it can save you time and emotional anxiety.

3.Inspect the inside of your vehicle.
This may sound like a simple common-sense solution, but sad to say, forgetfulness is one the leading causes of car lockouts. If you are lucky and find your car keys inside your car, the next step will be to findi the locksmith who would be able to retrieve the keys from the inside of your car. However, if luck is not on your side, keep reading for more tips.

4.Record all vehicle information.
Gather all bits of information in order for the locksmith or even a dealership to help you with the lost car key. Provide them with the information starting from the car brand, Vehicle Identification Number(VIN), the year the car was made, and model of your vehicle. By then the type of key you need would be identified as either remote or non-remote.

5.Make a choice between the locksmith or car dealer.
Make decisions as to what kind of service comes next. Certain factors can affect the outcome, like budgeting and a quality service. If your car is an old model, seeking a locksmith is the ideal choice of service. You could have big savings on your budget and be worry-free about replacing the key since you have older car model. A word of caution: do not forget to hire a trusted, certified, insured and professional locksmith. Savings are important, but you also need to consider the quality of service and your personal safety and security.

In general, newer car models have been designed to be complex that some locksmiths have no skill to create your replacement car keys. If your car is extra special that no locksmith can do the desired service, you will have to settle with dealers, which would cost you a bit of expense.

6.Request for an additional spare key.
When hiring either a locksmith or the car dealer to replace your car keys, one should not forget to ask for an additional spare key and keep it in a separate hiding place for emergency purposes. It may be costly, but for certain you will have peace of mind and be guilt-free if the same problem ever occurs again.
