Automotive Locksmith Questions
Can you make car keys without the original?
Yes. Our locksmiths can cut and program new car keys even if you’ve lost all copies. We use professional key-cutting equipment and OEM-grade transponder programming tools.
How much does car key replacement cost?
Car key replacement typically costs $75-$250 depending on the vehicle make, model, and key type. Transponder keys and key fobs cost more than basic metal keys. We provide an exact quote before starting.
Can you program key fobs on-site?
Yes. We carry the latest diagnostic equipment in our mobile units and can program key fobs, smart keys, and transponder keys right at your location.
Do you work on all car makes and models?
We work on virtually all makes and models — domestic and foreign — from common brands like Ford, Chevy, Toyota, and Honda to luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi.
Will you damage my car during a lockout?
No. We use non-destructive entry techniques and professional lockout tools. Your vehicle will not be damaged during the unlocking process.
How long does car key replacement take?
Most car key replacements take 20-45 minutes on-site, including cutting and programming. More complex keys for newer vehicles may take up to an hour.
Can you fix a broken key stuck in the ignition?
Yes. We specialize in broken key extraction from ignitions, door locks, and trunks. We carefully remove the broken piece without damaging the lock mechanism.
Is it cheaper to go to a locksmith or the dealership for car keys?
A mobile locksmith is typically 40-60% less expensive than a dealership for the same key replacement or programming service, and we come to you instead of requiring a tow.
