Can you copy a key with a chip in it?

Yes. We cut the blade to match your original and program the transponder chip to your car so the copy starts the engine, not just unlocks the door.

Do I need my original key to get a duplicate?

Having the original makes duplication faster and cheaper. If you've lost all your keys, that's a different job called key origination, which we also do on-site.

How much does a duplicate car key cost?

Duplication starts around $75. The final price depends on whether your key has a chip and needs programming, and we quote the flat rate before we start.

Can you make a copy of a push-to-start smart fob?

Yes. We program a duplicate fob to your vehicle on-site, test that it locks, unlocks, and starts the car, then hand it over.
