Tips for not getting locked out from your car again.
- It is a good idea to have some spare keys made and to keep them at the most regular places you drive to and from, like home and work.
- Keys should not be toys, don’t let your children play with your keys both inside and outside the car.
- Always take your keys with you when you leave your car. Even if just for a moment, some cars have an auto-lock function that might put you in trouble.
- Replace the battery regularly in your electronic key.
If you follow these steps, you’ll save on call-out fees and don’t have to deal with a frustrating situation.
