Types of car keys we replace
Traditional keys
Metal keys for older vehicles, cut to match your locks and ignition.
Transponder keys
Keys with a chip the car must recognize before it will start. We cut the blade and program the chip.
Laser-cut keys
Thicker keys with a groove cut along the blade, used on many newer vehicles.
Remotes and smart keys
Fobs that lock, unlock or start the car. We program many makes and models.
Get a spare before you need it
Making a copy from a working key is quicker and usually costs less than making a key when all are lost. If you're down to one key, it's worth booking a spare.
What we need from you
Photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title, plus the vehicle's make, model and year. Some models need dealer-only security codes; we'll check when you call and tell you if that applies.

Frequently asked questions
Can you program a key fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Many aftermarket fobs work, but some are poor quality or the wrong frequency. Call with the part details and we'll tell you honestly.
Do I need the original key?
No. We can often originate a key from the vehicle. Having a working key makes the job simpler.
Can you replace keys for motorcycles?
Call with the make and model. We'll tell you whether we can cut and, if needed, program it.
