A lost or broken car key in LaPlace can leave you stuck at work, at home or at a gas station off I-10. A mobile provider can come to the car instead of you arranging a tow to a dealer in Kenner or Baton Rouge.
If you're at work, check whether your workplace allows outside vehicles into the lot, and give the provider the gate or entrance to use. If the car is at home, a pin in the driveway is all they need.
Bring your ID and registration, and keep any working spare nearby.
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 LaPlace drivers
If you break down on Airline Highway, get into a parking lot if you can. It's safer than the roadside.
