🚗 Always Know Where Your Keys Are
Misplacing your car keys is the easiest way to land in an avoidable emergency.
✅ Create a key routine—always use the same hook, bowl, or pocket
✅ Never toss your keys into a bag of clutter
✅ Avoid leaving them in the ignition when the engine’s off
🔋 Replace Your Key Fob Battery Regularly
That little battery in your fob can be a silent culprit for car access issues.
✅ Replace your fob battery every 6–12 months
✅ Look out for reduced range or unresponsive buttons
✅ Most fobs use CR2032 batteries, widely available and affordable
📦 Store Spare Keys Smartly
A spare key is only helpful if it’s in the right hands at the right time.
✅ Never hide spares under wheel arches or inside the vehicle
✅ Leave a spare with a trusted person
✅ Ask us to cut and code a reliable backup for you
🧼 Maintain Your Locks
Weather, grime, and time take their toll on your vehicle’s locking mechanisms.
✅ Use powdered graphite—not oil—for lubrication
✅ Keep locks clear of debris and moisture
✅ Get squeaky or jammed locks inspected early
