The Problem
You See It All the Time. Auction Inventory with Junk Keys.
Every trade-in that shows up with a bad key is money walking out the door. You either eat the cost, delay the sale, or overpay a locksmith.
- A cracked remote head key that embarrasses you on the test drive
- Worn out or broken buttons on the fob — customer notices immediately
- A basic metal key with no buttons — screams 'cheap' to your buyer
- Calling a locksmith or franchise dealer and paying full retail
- Scheduling vendors, waiting around, and losing time on the floor
