2012 Automobile Models: Coming and Going
It’s that time of year when the 2012 models roll into the showrooms and car buyers and the locksmiths who will need to service 2012 cars attend auto shows to catch a glimpse of the newest models. While potential buyers are looking at new styles and features, locksmiths are most likely checking to see what locking systems are used.
