Helpful Tips While You Wait
-
Stay safe and visible If you’re by the roadside in Shredding Green, find a safe spot and switch on hazard lights if needed.
-
Check the usual places It sounds obvious, but re-check bags, jackets, under seats, and the boot lid pocket. If your car app supports digital key functions, see if it can unlock or start the vehicle.
-
Don’t force the lock or ignition Forcing a key can snap it, and prying a door can damage seals and paint. Our non-destructive entry methods are far safer and often quicker.
