    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.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
