Can you replace a key if I lost all of them?

Yes. We generate a new key by VIN and on-site decoding, then program it to the car, no original needed.

How long does it take?

Most replacements are done in 20–45 minutes once the tech is on-site, depending on the key type and vehicle.

Do you replace push-to-start (proximity) keys?

Yes. We program proximity/smart keys and remote fobs for most makes, right at your location.

Is it really cheaper than the dealership?

Almost always. We skip the tow and the dealer markup, and we come to you, so you usually save a few hundred dollars.

Do you handle key fob replacement, not just metal keys?

Fobs are most of what we do now. Remote-head keys, flip keys, push-to-start proximity fobs: we carry the blanks, program the electronics to your car, and cut the emergency blade hidden inside. If the old fob is just worn out, sometimes a reshell or battery is the honest fix, and we will tell you so.
