Car Key Replacement in Stamford, CT

Proving the car is yours

A replacement key or fob is made for one vehicle, so proof that the vehicle is yours is worth having on hand. Gather these:

• Photo ID that matches the name on the registration or title.
• The registration or title itself.
• The VIN, usually visible at the base of the windshield on the driver's side and on a sticker in the door jamb.
• The year, make and model.
• Every key you still have. One working spare and no spare at all are different jobs, so say which applies.

Where the car is in Stamford

Because the car's location is part of the job, say where it is.

• City garage. If the car is in the city's Bell Street, Summer Street or Bedford Street garage, name the garage and the level.
• Harbor Point building. Management may control lobby and garage doors, so arrange access with the manager.
• Street. Give the block and the side of the street. If it is a Snow Emergency Route, say so, since residents are told not to park there during a snow emergency.
• Home in North Stamford. This is the least densely populated part of the city, so give the full street address rather than a cross street alone.

Before you decide the key is gone

Stamford's yearly snowfall averages about 34 inches, and snowbanks can hide a dropped key until they melt. Retrace your steps to the last place the car was parked and check coat pockets and bags. If the key is inside a locked car, car lockout is the service you need instead.

Say whether the missing key might be in someone else's hands. On many vehicles, a lost key can be erased from the car's memory when a new one is programmed, which is worth asking about.

Send the request through the contact page. See car key replacement for the service, or key fob programming if a fob only needs to be paired.
