Car key replacement
If you have lost every key to the vehicle, or you are down to one and want a spare before that happens, we cut and program a new key where the vehicle is parked.
What we handle
- All keys lost — a new key made from the vehicle itself
- Spare keys copied from a working key
- Transponder (chip) keys cut and programmed to the car
- Worn or bent keys replaced with a fresh cut
How it works
- Call with the make, model and year, and tell us whether you still have a working key.
- We confirm we can do that vehicle and quote the price before coming out.
- On site we verify ownership, then cut the key and program it to the vehicle.
- You test the key in the door and the ignition before we leave.
Common questions
- I lost my only key. Do I have to tow the car to a dealer?
- In most cases no. We come to the vehicle, make a key and program it there. A few models need dealer-only equipment — we will tell you on the phone if yours is one of them.
- Is a spare cheaper than replacing a lost key?
- Yes, generally. Copying from a working key is simpler than starting from nothing, which is why getting a spare made while you still have one is worth it.
- What should I have ready?
- Photo ID and proof the vehicle is yours, such as registration or insurance. Having the VIN handy when you call also helps us confirm the right key.
