If you lose keys to your car the first thing you should do is search the spot where you normally keep your keys. Some keys "drift" from their regular place of storage and end up on the surface or under something. It is important to not give up too soon particularly if the area has been scoured more than once. If you've attempted all of this and still aren't able to find your keys, contact an area locksmith for help. A locksmith's services are usually cheaper than visiting an auto dealer for replacement keys. The locksmith will require details about your car, including the VIN or the key code number. This will allow them to identify your car and provide the correct key for it to open.
Broken Keys
Feelings of helplessness and dread take over your mind when a key gets damaged in your lock. Take the time to breathe before you give up. It's not impossible. If you're lucky, there could still be a bit of the broken piece left that you can reach it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers can perform the same job (just be cautious not to push the broken edge deeper into the lock).
A great trick is using a bottle of WD-40(r), Smart Straw, with the smart nozzle to spray directly into the keyhole. This will help the broken piece slide off and also loosen any binds which might be holding it in place. Try wriggling it up and down or in and out, to break it free of whatever is causing it to be stuck.
Other methods have been attempted by individuals, for instance using the paperclip on both sides to grab the broken piece, and then pull it out. You can also use a drilling bit. Just make sure to drill the hole in the exposed side of the key that has been broken, not the lock.
