Types of Car Keys We Replace
Basic metal keys: older vehicles without a chip. Cut on site in minutes.
Transponder keys: most cars built since the late 1990s have a chip in the key head that talks to the immobiliser. We cut the blade and program the chip to your car.
Remote and flip keys: keys with lock and unlock buttons. We supply, cut and program both the remote and the immobiliser chip.
Smart and proximity keys: push-to-start keys for newer vehicles. We program new smart keys for many popular makes.
Spare Car Keys Save You Money
If you only have one key, getting a spare now costs far less than replacing a lost key later, because the locksmith can copy your working key. Ask us for a spare key on the same visit and keep it somewhere safe.
