    Losing your car keys or getting locked out of your vehicle is frustrating. It is one situation everyone wants to avoid but can sometimes experience. Instead of stressing out about it, focus on a timely solution. Since not having access to your car can be a big inconvenience, here is a list of things you need to do in case you find yourself in need of help to replace your car keys.

    The most efficient solution for lost car keys

    Whether you’re at home or work, losing your car keys should not be a cause to panic. Always clear your thoughts of worry and focus on what you need to do to solve the problem. First, think about likely places where you may have left the keys. If you’ve exhausted your options, the next step is to consider your replacement options. You can get a car key replacement from the dealership, but it’s not the fastest solution. You could instead contact an auto locksmith. A locksmith is perfect for emergencies, as their services are fast and cheap.

    What should you do if you’re locked inside the car?

    Getting locked inside your car is another difficult situation. Calling a locksmith should be easy if you have access to your phone. In the meantime, you need to calm down to work your way out of the car as quickly as possible. You can also try checking inside your car in case you’ve left a spare set of keys somewhere. Having a spare set of keys hidden inside your vehicle is best for such scenarios.

    In case you can’t find a spare key inside your car, you should start thinking of other solutions while waiting for outside help. For instance, check if it’s possible to unwind the window so you can climb out and get out of the vehicle. If there’s no other option and help still isn’t on its way, your last resort is to break your way out of the car using a heavy object. If there are no tools you can use, find the most vulnerable point of the car window and use the metal pegs of the headrest to break it. But make sure to do this with extreme care to avoid injuries.

    Stolen car keys: a step-by-step guide

    If you suspect that someone may have stolen your keys intending to steal your car later, here is what you need to do.

    • First, secure the vehicle. Have another car block the driveway to prevent access. If you are using a spare key in the meantime, place your car in a safe area such as a locked garage.
    • After securing your vehicle, the next step is to contact the police and report the crime.
    • You also need to call a locksmith immediately to deactivate the chip in the stolen set of keys. You can also proceed with having the car locks replaced and have a new set of keys made.
    • During this entire process, do not forget to contact your car insurance provider. Your coverage may include key protection. So, check if you can have all the expenses covered.

    Dealing with a stolen car key can be distressing. It’s one of the common attempts to steal a vehicle. It’s alarming that any cities across the United States and other states experience vehicle thefts on a daily basis. If you don’t want this incident to happen to you, it may be best to obtain information about the Cities With The Most Stolen Cars from reliable websites. That way, you’ll find out if your city is rampant with this crime.

    Typically, when your car keys are stolen, you may be allowed to file a property insurance claim. This type of insurance protects your car against theft and similar criminal activities.

    Anytime you suspect your keys of having been stolen and not misplaced, follow the appropriate safety precautions. It is better to be careful and proactive than to have to worry about a bigger problem later.

    What you need to do if the car key breaks or snaps in two

    Damaged car keys are another problem that requires a speedy solution. It is worse when the key snaps and there are remnants left inside the ignition or lock. Calling an expert locksmith will ensure that you get the help you need. Do not attempt a DIY fix because you could cause more damage to your car more in the process.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
