Amazon eBay Independent shops Car dealerships for that brand Program it yourself online (Tesla, for example) Locksmith Battery stores (Batteries Plus, for example) are a few place to start looking. It’s also possible that your roadside assistance company like AAA can help you, especially if your car only requires a key instead of a technologically advanced fob. Your car insurance company may be able to replace the key or key fob as well, although you probably don’t want to file that type of small claim during a period in which insurance premiums are skyrocketing. How Much Will It Cost To Replace My Key Fob? It’s difficult to pinpoint a good price on a replacement car key or key fob because there are so many variables. J.D. Power estimates $50 to $500 depending on the type of key, make and model of your vehicle, location, time of day and more.

Deer In The HeadLight??

Fall means more deer on the road: 4 ways time of day, month and year raise your risk of crashes Deer still cross roads at any time It’s important to remember that deer-vehicle accidents can occur at any time of day or night, on any day of the year – and that deer can show up in urban areas as well as rural ones. They are most active at dawn, dusk, and for a few hours after the sun sets. They're also more prevalent during mating season, which runs from October to January. Animal strike claims are more than twice as likely in November than any other time of the year. Car-Lotta reminds you how to avoid deer at night It's imperative to stay alert if you're driving at night. Here are a few tips to help you spot deer on the road and avoid an accident. Upgrade your headlights. Choose LED or HID bulbs instead of traditional halogen. Both produce a brighter light that makes it easier to spot animals in the distance. Be wary of the woods. If you're driving on a road that's wooded on one or both sides, deer could be lurking just out of sight, waiting to make a run for it. Slow down. Deer don't usually travel alone. If you spot one, chances are, there are more nearby. Slow down and watch out for the rest of them. Look for glowing eyes. Deer have yellow eyes that look like they glow in the dark. If you catch a glimpse of yellow, assume it's a deer and slow down. Pay attention to road signs. If you see a deer crossing sign on the road, it means you're in an area with a large deer population. Use your high beams. If you're driving in a low-light area with few or no streetlamps, turn on your high beams for greater visibility. Just be sure to turn them off if you see another car coming. Look out for recently killed deer. Deer typically travel in groups. If you see a deer on the side of the road that was hit recently, others could be nearby.

Don't Forget To......

Fall Back! Daylight saving time was introduced in the United States in 1918 with the Standard Time Act, which was meant to lower fuel costs during the First World War. The law also established a standard time and allowed the federal government to create five time zones. Millions of us will turn back their clocks on Nov. 5 at 2 a.m marking the end of daylight saving time in 2023. We will "fall back," turning our clocks back to 1 a.m., gaining an extra hour of sleep.
