A lost or broken key in Baton Rouge could happen anywhere from a tailgate on game day to a long day at the plant. A mobile provider can come to the car rather than you paying for a tow across town to a dealer.
If the key broke off in the door or ignition, leave the broken piece where it is and keep the other half. It can help the provider cut a match. For students whose car is registered to a parent, have a copy of the registration on your phone.
Keep your ID and registration with you, along with any working spare. It can make the copy quicker.
What to expect
If your car key is lost, broken or won't turn, a mobile locksmith can come to the vehicle instead of you arranging a tow to the dealer. Add your vehicle's year, make and model in the app so the provider can confirm they can make your key. Push-to-start fobs are a separate service in the app. Keep your registration and ID handy. You'll need to prove the car is yours.
A tip for Baton Rouge drivers
Baton Rouge summers are hot and humid. Batteries and tires take a beating, so check your spare and tire pressure before long trips.
