Yes, we program transponder keys and key fobs for virtually all makes and models, including luxury vehicles like Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, and Cadillac. Our mobile units carry manufacturer-specific programming equipment for domestic and foreign vehicles.
We use OEM programming protocols to ensure your new transponder key communicates properly with your car’s immobilizer system. This prevents starting problems and security system malfunctions that can occur with improper programming. Most transponder key programming is completed on-site in 15-30 minutes.
Our automotive locksmith services typically cost 50-70% less than dealership pricing while using the same OEM parts and following manufacturer specifications. For example, key fob programming that costs $300+ at a dealer usually runs $100-150 through our service.

Absolutely. We can create new keys even when you’ve lost all originals. Our technicians can generate new keys using your vehicle’s VIN number and manufacturer key codes. This process works for both traditional keys and modern transponder/smart key systems.
Creating keys from scratch takes longer than duplicating existing keys—usually 30-60 minutes depending on your vehicle’s security system complexity. We handle all the programming to ensure your new keys work with your car’s immobilizer, door locks, and ignition system. You’ll receive multiple keys so you have backups for the future.
