With these details we can tell you whether the key can be made on site and give you a quote. Some newer vehicles need codes or tools that only the dealer holds; if so, we will say so up front.
Transponder keys and fobs
Most cars built in the last two decades use a transponder key: a chip in the key head that the car must recognise before it starts. A replacement has to be cut and programmed to your vehicle, which is why it costs more than a plain metal key. Locked out instead? See car lockout.
Automotive locksmith FAQs
Can you make a car key without the original?
For many makes and models, yes, by cutting from the vehicle's code and programming a new key. Call with the year, make, model and VIN so we can confirm.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
Often, especially as we come to the car and no tow is needed, but it varies by vehicle. We quote before any work begins so you can compare.
My key turns but the car won't start. Can you help?
It may be a transponder or ignition problem. We can test the key and ignition on site and explain the repair options.
