Sample Clips from Auto 2

Auto 2

Auto 1 focused on making keys for cars where all of the locks were original locks and in good working condition.  Quite often locksmiths receive calls where the ignition lock is not working or it is not an original lock.  Auto 2 teaches skills that will help in these situations.

However, many of the skills apply to all makes and models.  This course does not cover high security autos.  Those skills will be covered in a later course.
