Lost Honda Odyssey Hybrid Key? Japanese Import Back on the Road in 30 Minutes
A lost smart key, a Japanese import and several unsuccessful calls. Fleet Locksmiths had this 2018 Honda Odyssey Hybrid back on the road in 30 minutes.
Qualified, licensed and fully insured
Losing your only car key is stressful enough. Finding out that the people you have called cannot supply a replacement makes the situation even more frustrating.
That was the challenge facing a customer with a 2018 Honda Odyssey Hybrid Japanese import. With their only smart key lost, they contacted multiple providers looking for help. Nobody they spoke to had a suitable key for the vehicle.
Then they contacted Fleet Locksmiths. We supplied and programmed a replacement smart key and had them back on the road in 30 minutes.
A Japanese import with no working key
When arranging a replacement car key, the exact vehicle matters. In this case, the customer’s Odyssey was a Japanese import, and sourcing a suitable key had become the main hurdle.
After several unsuccessful calls, they needed someone who could help with their particular vehicle. We were able to provide the right key and complete the smart key programming, turning a frustrating situation into a relieved customer ready to drive again.
The 30-minute turnaround was the result for this particular job. Replacement times depend on the vehicle, key availability and the work required.
Only have one smart key? Arrange a spare early
This job is a useful reminder of how much depends on a single key. If that key disappears, you can be left without transport while you organise a replacement.
Arranging a spare car key while you still have a working key gives you a backup and can save you the inconvenience and additional expense of an all-keys-lost situation. For an imported vehicle, it also gives you an opportunity to check key availability before you urgently need one.
