Why not the dealer?

The dealer usually needs the car brought in, which can mean a tow, and some keys have to be ordered and take days. We bring key blanks and programming equipment to you and, in most cases, finish the same visit.

For many vehicles that also costs less than the dealer. Call with your year, make and model and we'll quote it upfront.

What to have ready

  1. Year, make and modelThis tells us which key and programming your car needs.
  2. Your VINIt's on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield) and on your registration.
  3. Photo ID plus registration or titleWe verify ownership before making any key. It protects you, and it's how a legitimate locksmith works.

Newer vehicles: some 2020 and newer models need dealer-level security access to program a key. Call first and we'll tell you upfront whether we can do yours on-site.

What customers say

Common questions

Can you make a car key without the original?

Yes. If all your keys are lost, we can cut and program a new one for most vehicles using the VIN and the car itself. You'll need ID and proof of ownership.

How long does it take?

Many jobs are done in under an hour once we arrive. Some vehicles take longer to program, and we'll tell you what to expect when you call.

Is it cheaper than the dealer?

Often, especially once you count the tow. Every car is different, so call and we'll give you a real quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. Someone with photo ID and the registration or title needs to be with the vehicle so we can verify ownership.

Do you make keys for trucks and SUVs?

Yes. We work on cars, trucks, SUVs and vans from most manufacturers.
