Common questions
- Can you make a key if I lost every copy?
- Yes. All-keys-lost jobs are routine for us — we originate a new key from the vehicle and program it to the immobilizer on site.
- Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealership?
- Usually, because there is no tow and no dealer labor rate. We quote a firm price on the phone before we drive out.
- Do you program push-to-start smart fobs?
- We do, for most makes. Give us the year, make and model and we will confirm coverage before dispatch.
- What proof of ownership do you need?
- A photo ID plus registration, title or an insurance card matching the vehicle. This protects you and us.
