The process requires proof of vehicle ownership for security reasons, then we can cut and program new keys on-site for most makes and models. This includes both the physical key and the electronic transponder programming needed to start your car.

For vehicles with advanced security systems, we can also reprogram your car’s computer to disable any lost or stolen keys, so they won’t work even if someone finds them later. You get complete security along with your new keys.
