I came here because I lost my key fob and I was using my only spare key. I was literally in and out of here in less than an hour! The two gentleman in the front were amazing! Service was 10/10. And extremely inexpensive compared to other places. I also brought up they I had an issue with my door not opening from the inside on my passenger side door and they quoted me around the same amount as the key fob. I came back today to get my door fixed and I was there for no longer than an hour too! Definitely recommend!!

Very friendly, I came to get second key. My work vehicle is older. The doors were not unlocking easily this caused my key to fracture (crack) They lubricated all the locks and made adjustments with no extra charge. They made me two keys programmed and everything for $110 for a good deal Most places charge $150 for one key

Amy Warden

Fast, easy, affordable. I missed the Costco event, but this place was the same price and very convenient. They can even come to you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide emergency car lockout service after hours?

Yes. The business is listed as open 24 hours and can assist with vehicle lockouts at any time. Call ahead to confirm availability and estimated arrival based on your location. Mobile dispatch times vary with demand and traffic.

Can you replace a lost key fob if I have no spare?

In many cases yes. Technicians can cut a new key and program a replacement fob or remote for a wide range of vehicles. Bring your vehicle and proof of ownership, or request mobile service if you are unable to drive.

How long does key duplication or programming usually take?

Simple duplicates are often finished within a short visit, while programming a fob typically takes longer depending on the vehicle. Timing can range from minutes to under an hour for common models. The team will provide an estimate after checking your vehicle details.

Do you work on older vehicles and worn locks?

Yes, they handle older models as well as worn or stiff locks. Technicians can clean, lubricate, and adjust lock cylinders where appropriate, and cut keys to original spec when possible. Availability depends on the vehicle and parts condition.

What information should I bring for a new car key?

Have your vehicle’s year, make, and model, plus proof of ownership and a valid ID. If you have an existing key or fob, bring it as a reference. This helps confirm chip type and ensures accurate cutting and programming.
