Lost your only car key? We can originate a new key from scratch using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and proof of ownership — no original required. Our mobile service vehicles carry professional laser key cutting machines and computerized code lookup systems that work with virtually all domestic and imported vehicles made in the last 30 years. We cut the key, program the transponder, and test everything before we leave. No towing to a dealer, no waiting days for a key to be ordered.
If your vehicle was made after 1995, your key almost certainly contains a transponder chip. This chip communicates with your car's immobilizer system via RFID — if the chip isn't recognized, the engine won't start even if you physically turn the key. We program transponder keys using the same OBD-II professional diagnostic tools your dealer uses, at We handle chip keys, push-button proximity keys (smart keys), VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) keys for older GM vehicles, and rolling-code systems for most luxury brands.
Key fobs have become essential to modern vehicles — remote lock/unlock, trunk release, panic alarm, and push-to-start all flow through your fob. When a fob stops working, it's usually one of three things: a dead battery (we can test and replace on the spot), a lost programming sync (we can re-sync without a dealer visit), or physical failure of the electronics. We carry blank OEM-compatible fob housings and program them to your vehicle's unique security code. We also handle keyless ignition push-start systems for Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, and most other brands.
Ignition cylinder failure is more common than most drivers realize, especially on older vehicles or those with worn keys. Symptoms include a key that suddenly doesn't turn, sticks, or feels different than usual. We remove the failed ignition cylinder, repair or replace the internal components, and reinstall — all on-site in your driveway or parking lot. This eliminates the need for a towing service and the extended wait at a mechanic. We also extract broken keys from ignition cylinders, a service that requires specialized tools to avoid damaging the cylinder itself.
Dealers often require you to tow the vehicle to their facility and charge significantly more for the same cut-and-program work. We come to you and use identical professional equipment to the dealer. We're also faster: most dealer key jobs require ordering a key blank, which can take 1–3 business days. We carry the most common key blanks for popular makes in our service vehicles and can complete most jobs same-day.

// Common Questions
Car lockout service in your area is quoted as a flat rate on the phone before we dispatch. The exact price depends on your vehicle type and the type of lock. Luxury vehicles and newer cars with advanced locking systems may be on the higher end. All pricing is quoted over the phone before we dispatch — the number on the call is the number on the invoice.
Yes. We create new car keys from scratch using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and proof of ownership. We look up the key code from our database, cut the key on our mobile cutting machine, and program the transponder chip — all on-site. You'll need to have your vehicle registration, title, or insurance card as proof of ownership, plus a valid photo ID.
We typically come in well under dealer pricing on the same cut-and-program work. Dealers also require you to bring the vehicle to them — often meaning a tow — while we come to you. Call with your make, model, and year for a flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Yes — we program smart key / proximity key / push-to-start systems for most major makes including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and many others. Smart key programming requires OBD-II access and is typically completed on-site in one visit. Bring proof of ownership and your VIN. For very new vehicles (last 1–2 model years) with proprietary systems, we'll confirm compatibility when you call.
We extract broken keys from ignitions on-site using specialized hook and extraction tools — without damaging the ignition cylinder. Once extracted, we can cut a new key from the broken piece or from your VIN code. If the ignition cylinder itself is damaged by the break, we can assess and repair or replace it during the same service call.
