Check, Check, and Check again!

I've heard lots of funny stories whilst on the road as an auto locksmith. One client recently phoned me in a state because he had lost his car keys and had no spare. He had scoured his house, garden and retraced his steps relentlessly. As for many people, this was a disaster as it was his family's only car, and was needed for the school run.

After arriving at my client's house a few hours later, within 30 seconds i found his keys lieing on the dashboard! To say he was embarrased was an understatement! But, at least he saved some money, so good news in the end.

My client was lucky though, many othershave phoned me to say they have found their car keys subsequently, after spending the money getting new keys made and their immobilisers/ECU reprogrammed accordingly. This is a shame, but perhaps a lesson in not to be too reactive. Take a step back, calm down and consider where your car keys may be. Then get everyone involved in the search!

Good luck!
