This morning I took my car to the dealership to get an oil change. I can do it but it would void the warranty. Moving on. Drop it off guy asked for the key, and I'm off to work.
Two hours later he calls me at work and asks if I have the unlock lock beeber dealy. Why yes I do why? He them tell me he doesn't have it. Yes I know you don't, I do ass. Then he tells me he locked himself out of my car.

I started laughing for oh about one second then started to get pissed. He quickly told me that he was holding the key in his hand. Now I'm really pissed. You called me at work to tell me you are holding the key to my car. At this point he desided to add more details, which he should have started with.

The key doesn't work in the door lock. So he's locked out. I'm more pissed

He said he doesn't know why but hes going to take the door apart and see if its something like a line missing or something.
"Ok how much is this going to cost?" ...................."Well I don't know." he said. "It might be nothing if its something that the makers messed up but it it was picked or if something tried to mess with it it's not covered under the warranty."

I'm turning red and the patient in front of me is cracking up and I shot him the go fucking die look.
I told him it will cost nothing no one has messed with my locks and he can go on and fix it. He started to speak, "no no that's ok you fix it and I'll deal with it when I get there, thank you."

I have a feeling this day is just going to get better, don't you?
 
The dealership should have a master key. They also possess the ability to make keys etc. You shouldn't pay a dime for it. When you brought the car to them it was working... and under their care it got broke. Its their fault. Matter of fact... I would ask for complementary stuff for the inconvenience to you. Maybe a free tire change or something.

There is no logical way its your fault.
 
I agree, I', thinking this oil change will be free as long as their is nothing wrong, if they fix it and theirs no charge ok fine but first talk of a dime and its on.
 
Well... the first thing you do when you go in is attempt to hash it out with the clerk or receptionist. I think they will probably refer you to the mechanic for an explanation... refuse this and ask directly for the dealership manager or the next highest available person. Chances are they'll want to sweep it under the rug so their reputation stays in tact. Tell them that it was either a mistake the mechanic made directly or that it happened as a result of the lack of security on the premises (the mechanics picked lock theory).

Bottom line... it worked while you had it... you dropped it off... now its broke. Ask them if they're trying to run some sort of racket etc.
 
I once locked myself out of my car while holding the key ... well, make that part of the key. The other part of the key broke off in the lock. Fortunately I was at home where I had another one.

Could the mechanic simply have mixed up your key with someone else's?
 
I locked my keys in my car... while it was running...

I started the car, and got out to scrape the ice, and as I was exiting, muscle memory took over and I swiped the door lock, and slammed the door. Scraped the ice, and tried to get back in to pull away... fail.
