How a new key gets made
Check ownership
Photo ID and registration or insurance in your name.
Cut the blade
From the key code or by decoding a lock on the car.
Program the chip
We add the new key or fob to the car’s memory with a programming tool.
Test everything
Lock, unlock, trunk, panic button, and start.
Skip the tow and the dealer wait
Without a key, a dealer usually needs the car towed to their lot, and you wait for an appointment. We bring the key machine and programming tools to your driveway, workplace, or parking lot.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the year, make, and model, the type of key, and whether you still have a working key. Service details and expected pricing are explained before work begins.
