Lost your only key? Don't tow it to the dealership. We can cut and program a brand-new key for nearly any vehicle, anywhere you're stuck, even with no original to copy. Most jobs done in 30–60 minutes, on-site.
Need a spare remote? Got a new fob from Amazon that won't sync? Old one finally died? We program OEM and quality aftermarket fobs to your vehicle on the spot. Push-to-start, remote start and keyless entry: all handled.
Don't see your make? Call, we probably do it. We add new vehicles every month.
Key won't turn (or only turns sometimes)
Have to wiggle / jiggle the key to start the car
Key stuck in the ignition, won't come out
Steering wheel locked, key won't free it
Push-to-start fails to recognize the fob
Ignore these too long and you'll end up stranded. Cheaper to fix early than to need a tow.
Ignition cylinders wear out, especially on older domestic trucks and high-mileage commuters. We diagnose, rebuild, or fully replace your ignition cylinder right in your driveway. New key cut and programmed to match.
Snapped your key in the door? Trunk? Ignition? Don't try to dig it out, you'll only push it deeper and damage the lock. We use professional extraction tools to remove the broken piece cleanly, every time. Then we cut you a fresh replacement on the spot.
Don't push it deeper with another key
This jams the broken piece against the back of the lock
Don't squirt WD-40 or oil into the cylinder
It attracts grit and makes professional extraction harder
Don't try super glue + the broken half
Yes, people do this. It cements the broken piece in place and triples the cost
Don't drill the lock
Turns a simple job into a full lock replacement
Just walk away from the car and call us. Five minutes of patience saves you hundreds.
Transponder Chip Keys
A chip in the key talks to your car's computer. No chip = no start, even with a perfectly cut key. We program these.
Laser-Cut (Sidewinder) Keys
Thick, hard-to-pick keys with grooves milled by laser. Common on most cars since ~2010. We cut these with our mobile sidewinder cutter.
Smart / Proximity Keys
Push-to-start systems with no physical key in the ignition. Pair via OBD-II programming.
Rolling-Code Remotes
Modern fobs change their code each press to prevent code-grabbing attacks. We program these to your specific VIN.
Modern vehicles use sophisticated key systems, transponders, laser-cut blanks, encrypted rolling-code remotes and smart-prox keys. Most locksmiths can't touch these. We can. Dealership-quality work, no dealership wait, no dealership markup.
Final price is quoted on the phone before we dispatch. What we quote is what you pay. If the job ends up being something different on arrival, we'll re-quote before starting, never after.
