Keys we work with
Standard keys are cut metal keys, common on older vehicles. Transponder keys have a chip the car checks before the engine starts, so they must be programmed as well as cut. Remote keys and fobs lock and unlock the doors by signal. Flip keys fold the blade into the fob. Whether we can make a key on site depends on the make, model and year, so have those ready when you call.
More detail: car key programming and car key replacement.
Ignition and broken keys
A worn or faulty ignition switch can stop a key from turning or cause starting problems. We repair or replace the switch and cut a matching key. If a key snaps in a door or ignition, we remove the broken piece with extraction tools so the lock itself is not damaged, then cut a new key.
Frequently asked questions
What should I have ready when I call?
Your vehicle's make, model and year, where it is parked and, if possible, proof that you own the vehicle. We ask for ID before opening a car or making a key.
Can you make a key if I have lost all of them?
Often yes. It depends on the vehicle and key type. Call with the details and we will tell you what is possible and the likely cost.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
It varies by vehicle. We quote before work begins, so you can compare with your dealer before deciding.
