Car Key Replacement in Chandler, AZ

Where keys go missing in a 65-square-mile city

Chandler's incorporated area spans 65.75 square miles, the city counts 132,070 jobs throughout Chandler and it designates five employment and business districts, so a car key can drop out of a pocket a long way from home. Before assuming it is gone, retrace the places you parked.

• Downtown. Dr. A.J. Chandler Park hosts special events through the year, and the city lists five parking garages downtown. After an evening there, retrace the garage level and the park.
• The mall area. The General Plan calls the North Price Road node a major activity node anchored by the regional mall, major employers and medical services. That is a wide area to search, so note the entrance and the row where you parked.
• Business parks. The Airpark is a nine-square-mile district, and the city's development list describes parks made up of several industrial buildings. Name the park and the building where you left the car.

When every key is gone

With no key at all, the request needs to show that the car is yours and describe exactly what it is.

• the vehicle identification number (VIN)
• the make, model and model year
• the registration or title, and photo ID
• the kind of key the car used: an all-metal blade, one with an electronic chip in its head, or a fob for a push-button start
• how many keys the car came with and whether any others turned up

If one key still works

A working key is worth more than it looks. It means the car can still be started and moved, and that a spare can be added before the last one vanishes. Keep the spare somewhere other than the car, because a lockout with both keys inside leaves no spare to fall back on.

Say whether the keys were lost, stolen or broken. A key that snapped in the ignition or a door lock is a different job from one that was never found; for that case see broken key extraction.

What to send

• where the car is now, with the street, garage level or lot row
• whether the car can be started and moved
• the vehicle and key details listed above, as far as you have them
