Stuff
happens. Things get lost…even important things. One of the worst things you can
possibly lose is your key ring. Your key ring allows you access to your house
and to your car. While many people have an extra house key hidden someplace in
case they accidentally lock their keys inside their house, the same isn’t
always true of car keys. Most people don’t keep a spare key hidden on their
vehicle’s exterior. In fact, many people don’t have a spare key at all. Or, if
you do have a spare car key or car key replacement Jacksonville service, you may not remember where they’ve stored
it. Or it may be stored across town when you need access to their vehicle ASAP.
So, if you lose your car key, what should you do? You may be tempted to call
the dealership that sold you your car.
Sure,
they can replace your car key. However, a locksmith can also replace your car
key – and there are several compelling reasons to call a locksmith for car key replacement Jacksonville rather
than a car dealership. One of the most obvious reasons to call a locksmith for
a new car key is that most locksmiths will drive to your location. Most
dealerships will not come to you. Remember – you don’t have your car key so you
can’t drive to the dealership! When you get a toothache, you go to the dentist.
When you need a wedding cake, you go to a bakery. When you need a book, you go
to a library or bookstore. When you need a key, you call a locksmith! Why?
Because a locksmith specializes in keys and locks. A car dealership, on the
other hand, specializes in selling and servicing cars.
Dealerships
don’t deal with lost car keys on a routine basis. Therefore, they don’t have
key replacement down to a quick and efficient process like a locksmith does. In
fact, if you call your dealership needing a key replacement, a representative
might simply contact a locksmith on your behalf, which will take more time than
if you contacted a locksmith yourself. Most locksmiths offer 24/7 emergency
service and can get you back on the road much more quickly than a dealership. If you think of your car as
a “patient,” you can think of a dealership as a general practitioner and a
locksmith as a specialist for car key replacement Jacksonville. Whether you lose or break a key or get one stuck
in the ignition, a locksmith like Locksmith Jacksonville is a key specialist.
