No, this program will not affect your ability to find or use a locksmith to service your vehicle. In fact, it does give you access to NASTF’s vetted list of VSPs, so you can trust that the person gaining access to your vehicle is a trusted professional. In addition, a NASTF approved auto locksmith can help to prevent car thieves from taking advantage of vehicle owners. Use the auto locksmith locator tool here on our website to easily find a trusted and qualified professional near you.

Although service times and availability depend on the shop, help can arrive quickly when you’re working with a trusted locksmith who’s a member of NASTF. These professionals have the ability to access secure vehicle data (with your permission) and are equipped to assist in urgent situations like vehicle lockouts or lost keys. Only authorized NASTF members can access the automaker’s secure database, ensuring a safe and efficient resolution.

NASTF Members are independent businesses and choose the vehicles that they provide service to. By providing your Brand in your search we will ensure that only members who service your brand of vehicle will appear in the results. If you own a specialty or low production vehicle, you may want to broaden your search by choosing a more common, but similar vehicle line and contact a VSP to ask how to get that vehicle serviced.

The National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) is a not-for-profit organization that helps to make sure all automotive service professionals have access to the tools, training, and information they need to get the job done right. NASTF helps to ensure an equal playing field for local repair shops and locksmiths by working directly with automakers to identify and resolve gaps in access to service information and equipment.

A VSP is an auto locksmith or service technician who has been vetted by NASTF to ensure that they’re trusted professionals. While this doesn’t mean that a non-vetted auto locksmith can’t be trusted, it does ensure that you’re making an informed choice when deciding who to service your vehicle. In other words, you can have peace of mind knowing that every VSP is thoroughly vetted through a comprehensive criminal background check, verifying them to run a legitimate business with appropriate levels of insurance.

NASTF’s network includes nearly 10,000 credentialed Vehicle Security Professionals (VSPs) nationwide, ensuring that you can find qualified technicians available to assist with your vehicle’s security needs, wherever you are.
