Transponder keys explained
Most cars built in the last couple of decades use a key with a small chip that talks to the car's immobilizer. If the chip isn't recognized, the engine won't start, even if the blade turns. A replacement key needs both a correctly cut blade and programming to your vehicle, which we do on site for many makes and models.
Have this ready when you call
- Year, make and model of the vehicle
- Where the car is parked, with a cross street if possible
- Whether you need a door opened, a new key, or both
- Photo ID and the vehicle's registration or title
Broken key in the lock or ignition?
Stop turning it. Forcing a snapped key can push the broken piece deeper or damage the cylinder. Call and we'll extract it, check the lock and cut a new key.
Automotive locksmith questions
Can you make a car key if I've lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. We cut and program keys for many makes and models, including transponder keys. Give us the year, make and model when you call so we can confirm before coming out.
What do I need to show before you open or key my car?
Photo ID plus the registration or title showing the vehicle is yours. We'll also ask for the VIN to cut and program a new key.
My key broke in the ignition. Can you get it out?
Usually. We extract the broken piece, check the ignition cylinder for damage and can cut a replacement key on site.
