Types of car keys
Traditional metal keys are cut to match the lock. Transponder keys carry a chip the car must recognize before it will start, so they are cut and then programmed. Laser-cut or sidewinder keys have a groove milled into the blade and need specialist cutting equipment.
Tell us the year, make and model when you call, and we will tell you which type you have and what it takes to replace it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a key without the original?
Often, yes. For many vehicles we can cut and program a new key on site. It depends on the make, model, year and key type.
Will you damage my car during a lockout?
Our technicians use proper vehicle entry tools and take care to avoid damage. Ask them to explain the method before they start.
Can you fix an ignition that will not turn?
Yes. Depending on the cause we can repair the ignition switch, remove a broken key or replace the ignition cylinder.
Why do you need proof of ownership?
So we only open or make keys for vehicles the caller is entitled to use. It protects you as much as anyone.
