Vehicle
Car keys and lockouts, done at the curb.
The machines that cut and program car keys live in the van. That is the difference between an hour at the roadside and a tow to a dealer.
What we do on vehicles
Opening
Car lockout
Doors opened without damage, including a car running with the key inside. We do not start with a slim jim and we do not start with a drill.
All keys lost
Car key replacement
Every key gone and nothing to copy. We cut a new one from the vehicle's own code and program it to the car.
Electronics
Key fob & remote programming
Fobs, proximity keys and push-to-start remotes programmed to the car. Old ones erased so a lost fob stops working.
Before you lose one
Spare car key
The cheapest key you will ever buy is the second one, cut while you still have the first.
Words you will hear
What to tell us on the phone
Three facts decide the price and the time: the make, the model and the year, plus whether you still have any key at all.
With those we give you a real number on the phone. Without them, anyone quoting you is guessing, and the guess always goes up on arrival.
Why quotes vary so wildly
Three different things get called "a car key". The metal, the chip and the remote. A key can be all three at once, or just one.
An ordinary edge-cut key is a simple cut. A laser-cut key needs a different machine. A chip has to be enrolled in the immobilizer. A proximity key is the remote and the key in one.
A perfectly cut key with no chip will turn the lock and go nowhere.
What we will tell you honestly
If yours is one of them, we say so on the phone. Not after driving out and charging you for the trip.
Need someone now?
A person answers, at any hour, in English or Spanish. If it is not urgent, we will hold a day and a time for you instead.
Or leave your details and we will call you.
