Were the keys stolen rather than lost?
Tell us before the job begins. Depending on the vehicle, the lost or stolen key record may be removed, or the immobiliser system may be reset so the missing key can no longer start the vehicle. Physical door access may require separate lock changes on some vehicles.

Can you make a new car key if all keys are lost?

Do I need to tow the car to a dealership?
Usually not. Our service is mobile, and we bring the required cutting and programming equipment to the vehicle where the job can be completed on-site.
How is a key made when there is no original to copy?
Depending on the vehicle, the mechanical key can be produced by decoding a lock, obtaining the required key data or using another manufacturer-specific method. The electronic key must then be programmed to the vehicle.
Can you replace transponder and smart keys?
Yes. We can replace and program transponder, remote, flip and many proximity smart keys, depending on the vehicle and security system.
Can the missing key be deleted from the vehicle?

What should I avoid doing after losing every key?
