This must be done at the dealership. I did not have a spare and lost my only key. Key had to be special ordered. The car towed to the dealership and programmed. $400.00 for new key and keyless remote.
Check with a local locksmith
Yes, cars can be towed without a key, and most cars that are towed do not have keys. If a car is towed for being illegally parked, they don't get in touch with the owner of the car and ask to have the key so the car can be towed, they just tow it. The car does not have to have its engine turned on in order to tow it; the tow truck just pulls it along.
Take your VIN and proof of ownership to the dealership and they can get you a new key.
If the key is lost for a car which has a immobilizer system in place, you will need to contact the dealership. Most car keys have microchips in place to prevent auto theft. The car dealership will be able to order a new key to start the car.
Hardware stores, locksmiths, the car dealership.
No. you need the dealer to program the "chipped" key.
go to the dealership with your car ownership & drivers licence
Go to Ace Hardware with the Key and they will do it for you. Or you can go to the dealership where you bought the car
Yes, you can have a separate car remote for a vehicle that comes with a key that has a built-in remote. You will need to order the new remote from the dealership.
Use the key fob and press the "unlock" button. If you don't have the key fob, you'll need to have the vehicle towed to a dealership where you can get a new one.
They don't really need to. If a bank wants to reposses your car, they will hire a repo man to do it. Licensed repo's have master keys from the car manufacturers that can get them into most cars. Do you owe to a bank or to the dealership? The dealership has a key to your car. The bank can work with the dealership in a similar way. If you owe the bank and there either is no dealership involved or the dealership cannot provide a key, they still have options- they can tow the car, obtain a key from the manufacturer, have one made, etc. They normally already have this process taken care of before the loan is granted. Until the car is paid off, it belongs to the bank or dealership. If they are not being paid on a regular basis, they will take whatever measures legally possible to reposes their property. On a similar note, when they come out to repose the car, they have already called the local authorities. This allows them to take the car whenever and from where ever.
