🚐 3 keys supplied… but only 1 that actually works! 🤦♂️
Just been out to a Mercedes Sprinter that the customer had recently bought. He was handed 3 keys and told he had spares.
Only problem? The so-called spare keys aren't even for his van!
We see this quite a lot, especially with push-button start vehicles. All the keys get handed over together, everyone assumes they're correct, and nobody actually tests them individually.
Until you need a spare… and discover you've been carrying around a very expensive bit of useless plastic! This can have a huge effect, especially if the van is used for work.
If you've bought a van or car with multiple keys, make sure you test each of them before leaving the forecourt.
