About this service

Losing every key to your car used to mean a tow truck and days of waiting at a dealership. Our mobile key service replaces that whole ordeal with one visit. We come to the vehicle, cut a new key from the vehicle code, program the transponder, and remove lost keys from the vehicle memory so they cannot start your car.

When to call

  • All keys to the vehicle are lost.
  • Your only key is bent, cracked, or worn smooth.
  • A key broke and half is stuck in the door or ignition.
  • You want a spare before the only key disappears.
  • You bought a used car that came with one key.

How it works

Share your vehicle details

Text or tell us the year, make, model, and your location. That lets us confirm key type and give a firm quote before we drive.

We come to the car

A locksmith from the closest verified base arrives with cutting and programming equipment on board. Driveways, workplaces, and parking lots all work.

Cut, program, and verify

We generate a new key from the vehicle, program the transponder or fob, delete lost keys from memory when supported, and test everything before leaving.

What to expect

  • Service for most domestic, Asian, and European brands, including Mercedes and BMW fob replacement.
  • Broken key extraction included when a piece is stuck.
  • Lost keys deprogrammed where the vehicle supports it.
  • Often meaningfully less than dealer pricing, quoted up front.
  • A tested, working key in your hand before we go.

Good to know

Car Key Replacement questions

Can you make a key with no original at all?

Yes. We generate keys from the vehicle itself using the door lock or vehicle code. You do not need a working key for us to make one.

Do you handle luxury brands?

Yes. We provide Mercedes and BMW key and fob replacement along with most other major brands. Tell us the model and year and we confirm on the call.

How long does a replacement take?

Most keys are cut and programmed in well under an hour once we arrive. Complex proximity systems can take longer, and we tell you the estimate up front.

Locked out right now?
