Car keys made at the car, not at a dealership

New keys when every one is lost, programming, ignition work and lockouts. The van carries the cutting and programming equipment, so the car stays where it is parked.

Before we touch the lock, you know what it will cost.

What we do with car keys

Making keys for cars is the part of this trade we have invested the most in. The van carries cutting and programming equipment, so in most cases the car does not move and there is no dealership appointment.

Makes we work on

American, Japanese, Korean and European. Call with the year, the make and the model, and we will tell you on the phone whether it can be done at the curb. Some model years are locked by the manufacturer to dealer only programming, and when yours is one of those we say so before you pay for a trip.

When the key will not turn

An ignition that stops working does not always need a new key. Sometimes the cylinder is worn, sometimes it was forced, and sometimes the problem is the key itself.

We check first. It is a short diagnosis and it decides which repair you actually need.
✓
We carry cylinders. For common makes the replacement happens in the same visit.
✓
The car stays where it is. No tow to a dealership in most cases.

Questions people ask

Which makes do you work on?

Most of what is on the road in San Francisco, including Ford, Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and many more. We do not work on Tesla.

Do I need to tow the car to a dealership?

In most cases, no. The van carries cutting and programming equipment and the work happens where the car is parked.

What should I tell you when I call?

The year, make and model, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is. That decides the whole job.
