The Tale Of The Family, The Key And The Cleveland Lock Tech
This is the story of how one family fell in love with a car and, then with a car key. It is a tale of money, loss, necessity, frustration and relief. This is the story of how we lost our car key and had to dole out way too much money to our local neighborhood ignition switch and lock expert.
My family took a road trip across country and, for this we bought a new car. We had not bought a new car before and were very excited at the prospect. We save up a little cash and we started visiting dealers and doing research. This car had to be large enough for all our stuff and fit us comfortable during our cross-country trip. It also had to be safe for our one-year-old daughter. We settled upon the new Chrysler Pacifica.
What really sold us were not just the features of the car itself but the features of the key. This key could not only open and close doors, but lift the lift gate and drop it, set the security and start the car from quite a distance. We loved this key.
Our adventure was a grand one. We used the key quite often and wondered what we would have done without it’s abilities given all the stuff we were always toteing. But, when we arrived in LA, it wasn’t long before a key was lost. My wife will tell you I lost it.
We went to Chrysler and found that the reason the key was so great was because it cost a fortune. It was $100 to replace! Well, this was ridiculous. We decided to go with one key and just switch off.
That worked out for quite a trading the key back and forth when we drove the car. But, needless to say, we started to resent the key. It was no longer love. Then, that dreaded day came, the day we lost the other key. Or, rather, I lost the other key. Now, we had to dole out the money for a new one. The dealer could do it but we thought we could get one cheaper at a local Cleveland lock tech. That was not the case.
We looked for days for that key determined not to spend the money on a new one but to no avail. We hired the Cleveland lock tech to save us from having to tow the car to Chrysler to get the key made. He was great and gave us two keys even though we paid for only one. The dealer would not have been so nice. Unfortunately, the lock tech keys did not have buttons to open anything remotely. Also, the set off the alarm and we had to start the car to disable it.
Needless to say, we didn’t love this key. We didn’t even really love the car anymore or Chrysler for that matter. Once we finally got the keys made, our daughter came to us with a present she had wrapped and hid. We opened it and it was the key. We were shocked but we still love her.
