Services Available for Every Make on This List
We handle eight core car key and car lock jobs, and each one is available for all 31 makes:
- Replacing car keys when all keys are lost, with no original needed
- Cutting spare and duplicate keys on site
- Programming transponder chip keys to the vehicle immobilizer
- Programming key fobs, remote head keys, and flip keys
- Replacing push-to-start smart keys and proximity fobs
- Repairing or replacing worn ignition cylinders
- Opening locked vehicles without damaging the door, glass, or trim
- Extracting broken keys from door locks and ignitions
Why the Vehicle Make Changes the Job
The make determines which anti-theft system a new key must communicate with, and that system decides the tools and the time required. Ford and Lincoln vehicles use the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM use the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). General Motors brands such as Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac have run several generations of PASS-Key and its successors. Toyota, Lexus, and Scion share a common smart key platform.
Two makes are the same job on paper and different jobs in practice. A 2015 Honda Accord key can usually be programmed through the OBD-II diagnostic port in under 30 minutes. A Mercedes-Benz on the FBS3 system needs a different approach entirely, because the key data is not written through the diagnostic port the same way. Knowing which category your vehicle falls into before the van arrives is what keeps a single visit from turning into three.
Discontinued Brands We Still Make Keys For
Seven makes on our list are no longer in production: Plymouth ended in 2001, Pontiac and Saturn in 2010, Hummer in 2010, Mercury in 2011, Saab in 2011, and Scion in 2016. Dealerships for these brands no longer exist, and the nearest surviving franchise often will not cut or program a key for a badge it never sold.
We keep blanks and legacy programming support for all seven. That matters most for Saab and Saturn owners, who are routinely told a replacement key is simply unavailable. It is available. It just is not available at a dealership anymore.
Common Questions About Car Keys by Vehicle Make
Yes. An all-keys-lost replacement is standard work for all 31 makes we service. We originate a new key from the vehicle itself using the VIN and on-board programming, so no original key is needed. Bring photo identification and proof of ownership, such as a registration or title.
We program both. Proximity smart keys for push-to-start vehicles are supported across the makes on this list, including Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Genesis, Kia, Nissan, and Infiniti. Bring the vehicle’s push-button start behavior to our attention when you call, since it changes the parts we load on the van.
Usually, and the larger saving is the tow. A dealership needs the vehicle on its lot, which means a flatbed if the vehicle cannot start. A mobile locksmith cuts and programs the key where the vehicle already sits, so the tow charge disappears from the total.
Most jobs finish in 20 to 45 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Older transponder keys sit at the short end of that range. Luxury European models and all-keys-lost jobs on newer vehicles sit at the long end.
