There’s no need for a tow or dealership visit—our team cuts and programs new car keys, fobs, and smart keys on-site, wherever your vehicle is located.

Our Local Car Key Replacement Services Go Beyond Basic Key Cutting

We created a new key for this Audi owner after they lost their last copy. For this particular make and model, we had to remove the steering wheel to access the onboard computer to program the EEPROM to sync with the new key.
Many vehicles today require more than a traditional metal key. Cars with transponders, remote locking, or push-button start also need digital syncing with your vehicle’s onboard system. We handle the job’s mechanical and electronic aspects during a single visit. We work with:
- Older models using traditional metal keys
- Vehicles with transponder chips or remote fobs
- Newer models requiring keyless entry and smart keys
Every new or duplicate key is tested to ensure it starts the engine, locks and unlocks doors, and integrates fully with your car’s security settings.
Compatibility with Most Trucks, Vans, and Cars
We replace keys for nearly all major makes, including Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Honda, BMW, Nissan, and Volkswagen. Whether your vehicle uses a basic cut key or an encrypted chip, we match the system and confirm compatibility before beginning.
We’ll let you know if your vehicle has special programming requirements or restrictions before any work begins. Our approach is straightforward, professional, and based on what your car actually needs. We can assist if you lost your last key, your fob shell is badly cracked, some buttons won’t work, or you want a couple of spares.
Don’t Wait Until You’re Locked Out
Many drivers wait until they’ve lost their last key before calling. While we can help in those cases, making a spare key now can save time and money later. If you have a working key, we can duplicate and sync a second one during a regular service call. This is especially helpful for households with multiple drivers or shared vehicles.
How the Mobile Replacement Process Works
Once you schedule service, we gather your car’s make, model, and year to determine the correct key and whether programming is required. We’ll ask you to verify vehicle ownership during the appointment for security.
The service itself includes key cutting, digital syncing if necessary, and full testing of all key functions—ignition, locks, and remote features. Most visits take between 30 and 60 minutes.
Pricing and Warranty Info
The cost of a replacement key depends on the car’s security system and the type of key required. Simple cut keys cost less than smart keys with advanced features. Our pricing is always discussed upfront, and we do not charge hidden fees. We also offer:
- 10% off for car key replacement
- 15% off for veterans with valid ID
- 10% off for seniors and returning customers
- A 6-month warranty covering keys, fobs, and electronic functions.
