AUSTIN – IAS announced that it will offer a premium version of their key replacement program otherwise known as Key Valet. The newest addition to the IAS product portfolio is full of benefits that not only protect consumers against replacing their vehicle key but also home lock-out assistance and even valet service if a replacement rental vehicle becomes necessary.

Vehicle keys now perform a variety of functions and are very costly to replace if lost or stolen. Additionally, most keys can now only be replaced at the dealership because the lost keys and remaining keys all need to be reprogrammed.

Because of these factors, since rolling out the IAS key replacement program in 2007, IAS has seen a steady increase in popularity of the key replacement program.

The IAS Key Valet not only offers consumers the standard benefits of vehicle key replacement, but also preferred benefits such as 24-hour vehicle and home lock-out assistance, towing coverage, emergency message relay and driver’s valet.


“The cost and hassle of replacing a vehicle key has increased significantly in recent years. In turn, we’ve seen steady increases in contract sales for the key replacement program since its launch in 2007,” said Bob Corbin, president and CEO at IAS.

“The introduction of Key Valet gives dealerships an even more significant program full of hassle saving services to sell and consumers meaningful benefits during a stressful situation.”

The addition gives IAS’ nationwide network of agents two different key replacement choices to offer their dealership customers depending on the type of vehicle and key issued with delivery, among other factors.

IAS plans to keep the basic key replacement program as a part of their product portfolio. Both the IAS Key Replacement and Key Valet are available immediately.
