‘That’s a horrible idea’: Toyota technician says you should never turn in your keys like this at the mechanic

At one point or another, every car owner will have to take their vehicle to the mechanic.

However, dropping your car off at the shop isn’t as straightforward as it might seem. Drivers have reported getting quoted hefty sums for cheap, quick fixes, or even having their car leave the shop worse than when it entered.

While every car mechanic experience will be different, there are still a few things that you can do to make sure that your trip to the shop goes as smoothly as possible. One of those things was recently shared by TikTok user Bill (@toytecc) in a video with over 2.6 million views.

What’s wrong with this customer’s keys?

In his video, Bill shows a set of keys that he says was handed to him by someone who came into the shop.

“These are the customer’s keys,” he starts, showing a set of car keys with multiple keychains. One of those keychains is a cardholder, which Bill says can cause a host of issues.

“You can see that there’s a driver’s license there and a credit card,” he states. “That’s a horrible idea!”

Bill does not explain why he thinks this is such a bad idea. But giving your driver’s license and credit card to someone you do not know is never a good plan.

As noted by Aura, a worker with criminal intent can use your driver’s license to sell your information, commit fraud, or attempt a whole host of other crimes. With your credit card, a worker can either take a photo or begin running up charges on the card. These are all things that can cause problems for you further down the line.

Commenters share their thoughts

In the comments section, users offered their own views and experiences with this sort of issue.

“I only hand over the fob. My wallet and house key stay with me,” wrote a user.

“Whenever I have my car worked on, I always bring my spare for them,” added another.

Thankfully, it appears that some shops are proactive at preventing this.

“The Toyota dealership I go to won’t even check in the car fully for service until the fob is detached from the rest of the keychain,” said a commenter.

“They always take everything off my keys and give it to me before they even take my car,” offered a second.

Hudson Headwaters opens alternative nursing home in Glens Falls

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- Hudson Headwaters Health Network opened the doors of a new alternative nursing home, marking the 10th of its kind in New York State. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) pays for and provides coordinated medical and social services for people over 55.

PACE helps patients create a personalized care plan coordinated by a team of physicians. It includes primary, dental, home, specialty care, therapies, and prescription drug services.

The new 15,000-square-foot facility on LaGrange Street serves parts of Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. PACE also offers transportation to patient appointments, socialization, and meal services.

The nursing home, which includes an outdoor garden and patio and several spaces for activities and services, was designed to serve as a hub for elderly residents. Officials said the facility is adjacent to Hudson Headwaters' Glens Falls Family Health.

President and Director of PACE Linda Spokane said the PACE model has transformed care for elders and patients' needs. Spokane said a special enrollment team has been made to help participants and their families interested in participating, as they expect a lot of interest in the program.

"There are strict guidelines regarding eligibility," Spokane said. "For example, most PACE participants are duel-eligible, meaning they qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare. Private pay options are also available."
