Locked keys in car/warranty question So yesterday I locked the keys in my car because I am an idiot. Called the locksmith and he came and popped my door open.
He was a real greasy lookin dude, a bit shady. He told me he was a private investigator as well which explains alot.
Anyways, he said "do you want to know how to get your money back from this?" I said sure. He told me that since my car has <36k miles on it (still covered by B2B), I can go to the dealer, show them my locksmith receipt and they'll reimburse me. I asked why and he said "they just do, most locksmiths won't tell you that."
Has anyone ever heard of this or is he full of it?

There is some general crap that you get with your car when you purchase it. As in free towing "if warranty". Also 5 gallons of gas if you run out on the road and some other crap its in the manual

Yeah I thought it sounded greasy. I'm gonna check my manual after work. I don't think it's worth going to the dealer and looking like an ******* for $50 bucks.

Yea, I extended mine, but just pay mine for the whole year. Odds are I'll never need it, but I like knowing it's their in the event that I flip my car into a ravine and break my neck and can't reach my cell phone.
