Do You Need A Spare?

Over the last few days I have had three cases of either broken or lost van keys. I’m talking here about the loss or breakage of the only keys the customer had! Have you considered how inconvenient that can be? In each case these were commercial vans, but it can equally apply to cars.

So, you are 200 or so miles from home standing in the rain with the head of the key in your hand and the bit that operates in the lock stuck in the car ignition. You van is loaded with a delivery that needs to be made that day and you have no spare and are not a member of a motor recovery organization such as the AA or RAC. What do you do? Fortunately, the key had been extracted from the lock already

, but had it not, Keyishoes have a set of broken key extractors for just such an occasion. We could then read the code of the key by looking at the key cuts (for some common vans) and are able to cut the key on location and get the van back on the road. Can you imagine thought the cost of recovery to the local van dealer, only to find that they don’t have the key in stock (which they didn’t in this case)?  Or if it was a different type of key common on this kind of van, they have the key blank, but I know that they don’t have the machine to cut them!snapped_car_key_2

We were able to get this chap back on the road for less than £50 and within an hour.

But imagine that you were a mum with two young children in the back and a car boot full of shopping including frozen food. What would happen if you lost your key? Here are some questions for you:

  • Do you have a spare key and do you know where it is kept?
  • Do you know what the key code  is for your key?
  • Do you know what the pin number is for your car immobiliser?
  • Do you now that your keys have been lost?  Or could they have been stolen (keyishoes can ensure that all missing keys are deleted from the vehicle).
  • Are you a member of a motoring organization that could recover you and your children & shopping?

If the answer to any of the above is No, then perhaps you should speak to us for some advice.   From just £39.99 we can ensure that you have a spare and can keep data regarding your key on our database to ensure that if you ever need another key we can provide it without even needing your key!  So…

Do you need a spare?  Of course you do!  …and Keyishoes could save you a fortune on dealership prices!
