Insurance Companies

A large number of motor vehicle insurance companies now offer a form of Key Care insurance to cover the expense of replacing lost or stolen vehicle keys. The current course of action when a policy holder wishes to make a claim can be time consuming and fragmented with systems ranging from organizing vehicle recovery to the main agents, to requesting that the policy holder locates their own contractor and provides quotes for the work to be carried out.

By utilizing the services of the Auto Locksmith Association, the insurance industry and their valuable customers can benefit.

Finance Houses / Banks / Repossessions

Sadly, in tough economic times, many people are often unable to sustain repayments on their car loans. In such cases it is sometimes necessary for the vehicle to be repossessed.

In most cases the customer willingly gives up the car and car keys but there are often situations where the keys are not presented and in cases such as this, repossession becomes much more difficult.

Most modern cars are equipped with high security locks, electronic handbrakes and steering locks and a multitude of other security devices, which prevent the vehicle being loaded onto a recovery vehicle. Furthermore, once a vehicle has been recovered, it is then necessary to have keys made in order to resell.

A quick call to the Auto Locksmith Association and life becomes a lot simpler and often cheaper.

Breakdown & Recovery

When a person loses their vehicle keys, or they lock them inside the boot, or even leave them in the ignition and then the doors mysteriously lock themselves, most people’s first call is to their breakdown company. Often vehicle manufacturers will contract with national recovery companies for breakdowns such as these. Although these companies provide an excellent and very necessary service they do not posses the specialist skills needed in such cases.
