San Diego, CA – Car keys are essential for everyday life, but many drivers unknowingly make mistakes that can lead to lockouts, costly repairs, or even security risks.

Mistake #1: Ignoring Warning Signs: A sticky ignition or a key that’s hard to turn are often signs of impending failure. Don’t ignore these warnings; address them promptly before you get stranded.
Mistake #2: Delaying Duplication: Having only one working key is a risky gamble. Duplicate your car keys now to avoid the stress and expense of a lockout later.
Mistake #3: Improper Key Storage: Leaving your keys in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures can damage the internal components, leading to malfunctions.
Mistake #4: Attempting DIY Repairs: Car key and lock repairs require specialized knowledge and tools. Avoid DIY attempts, as you could worsen the problem and end up paying more for professional repairs.
Mistake #5: Overlooking Regular Maintenance: Like any mechanical component, car keys and locks need regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
