Car key questions
How much does a replacement car key cost?
It depends on the vehicle and key type. A basic metal key costs far less than a push-to-start smart key. Call with your year, make and model and we'll give you a firm quote before we come out.
Can you program a key fob I bought online?
Often, yes, as long as it's the correct part and frequency for your vehicle. Call first and we'll check whether it can be programmed.
What do I need to show for a new car key?
A photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title. We verify ownership on every key we make.
Can you fix an ignition that won't turn?
Yes. We repair or replace worn ignition cylinders and can make a new key to match.
