Car Keys
This group is for drivers. It covers openings, replacement keys and fobs, key programming, broken-key extraction from doors and ignitions, and ignition repair. Bring your ownership papers and identification; the rest we can usually work out from the vehicle itself.

Proving the car is yours to open
Before a wedge or pick comes out, the locksmith confirms that the person asking has the right to be in that vehicle. Photo identification alongside the vehicle permit, the insurance card or a rental agreement settles it in a moment, because the permit carries the plate number and the owner's name and address. When those papers are in the glovebox, as they usually are, the locksmith notes your identification, opens the door, and matches the documents before leaving.
A company vehicle is confirmed with a call to the fleet contact. Roadside clubs ask their contractors for the same thing, and it is the step that keeps your own car safe from a stranger's claim.
