How do you ensure that the new keys cannot be used by previous owners or others?
For many modern cars, we have the capability to deactivate old keys so that only the new key can be used, ensuring optimal security. If your car does not support this feature, we offer advice on the options for changing the locks or other measures you can take to best secure your vehicle.
