Car key programming typically costs between $85-$150 depending on your vehicle’s make and model, which is significantly less than what most dealerships charge. The exact price depends on the type of key system your car uses and whether you need a replacement key cut as well.
Most transponder key programming jobs take about an hour to complete. We give you an upfront price quote before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees after the job is done.
Yes, we can create new keys even when you’ve lost all your originals. This is called an “all keys lost” situation, and it’s more common than you might think. We use your vehicle’s VIN number and specialized programming equipment to create and program new keys for your car.
The process takes longer than a simple key duplication – usually 1-2 hours depending on your vehicle’s security system. But you’ll end up with fully functional keys that start your car and operate all the electronic functions. We recommend getting at least two keys made so you always have a backup.
We work on virtually all vehicle makes and models, from basic domestic cars to luxury European vehicles with advanced security systems. Our mobile units carry key blanks and programming equipment for over 38,000 different vehicle combinations.
Whether you drive a Ford, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, or any other brand, we have the tools and expertise to handle your car key needs. Some specialty or very new vehicles might require ordering specific parts, but we’ll let you know upfront if that’s the case. Most jobs get completed the same day.

No, having a qualified locksmith work on your car’s locks and keys won’t void your vehicle warranty. We use OEM parts and manufacturer-approved methods when programming transponder keys and working on ignition systems.
Federal law protects your right to choose where you get automotive services performed, as long as the work is done properly. We follow all manufacturer specifications and use the same programming protocols that dealerships use. Your warranty remains intact while you save money on locksmith services.
A regular key is just cut metal that fits your lock, while a transponder key has a computer chip inside that communicates with your car’s security system. Most vehicles made after the mid-1990s use transponder keys as an anti-theft feature.
When you insert a transponder key and turn it, the chip sends a unique code to your car’s computer. If the code matches, the car starts. If not, the engine won’t turn over even if the key fits perfectly. This system reduces car theft by about 40% compared to vehicles with regular keys only.
