How Our Car Key Replacement Works
Every replacement starts with identifying what type of key your car actually takes, since that determines both the process and the price. Here is what the job typically involves.
Key Identification: We check your vehicle’s make, model, and year to determine whether it needs a standard key, transponder key, or smart key.
Key Cutting: Using your VIN or a code from the vehicle, we laser cut or mechanically cut a new key blank to match your ignition system.
Programming: Transponder keys, key fobs, and smart keys require programming to sync with your car’s immobilizer and vehicle security system before they work.
Testing: We test the new key in the ignition and door lock to confirm it starts the car and operates reliably before we leave.
