What can I do if I have lost the ignition key to my car?

Answer by  Tvalentin9 (7)

Best advice would be to contact a car manufacturer that carries the type of car you own. You could then probably give the VIN Number and order a new key.

You can contact the dealer where the car was purchased and they should be able to order one. If it is a used car, one can be ordered.

If you lose the ignition key to your car you will need to find the title to your car and bring it to a locksmith or key maker. With the VIN number they will be able to create a new key for your car. Bring your ID to identify yourself.

Start by contacting your local car dealer. They should be able to cut a new key as long as you can provide some proof of ownership and information like the VIN. Another option would be to contact you local locksmith. Usually they can make a new key for the lock. However this may be quite costly and time consuming.

If you lost the ignition key to your car you should contact a dealer. The service department will likely have a suggested fix, especially if you recorded the key # information listed in the manual. Another suggestion would be to contact a locksmith who is able to handle auto related problems. Have an extra key made to prevent this problem again.

There are two solutions. One option is to take your car's information to a dealer and have them provide you with a new one. The other option consists of disassembling the steering column or dash and removing the old ignition then installing a new one. However this is more of a last resort since it is costly and labor intensive.

contact the dealer and for a price they can provide you with another copy of the key. Or you can contact a locksmith. go directly to the dealer and they should have your key information on record.
