Trade-ins that arrive with no key
A vehicle with no key cannot be moved, reconditioned or listed. For supported makes and models we cut and program a new key by VIN on the lot, starting from $229+ for all keys lost.

For Business
A trade-in with no key or a van down to one fob sits unused until someone makes a key. We do that work where the vehicle is parked and invoice your company.
Apex Locksmith Pros makes and programs car keys for auto dealerships and fleet operators, including keys for trade-ins that arrive with none, spare keys for vehicles on the lot and new fobs for work vans, in McKinney and nearby cities in Collin, Denton and Dallas counties, such as Plano, Frisco, Allen, Carrollton and The Colony. Key duplication starts from $110+, fob programming from $129+ and all-keys-lost replacement from $229+. For a lot or a fleet with several vehicles, we list every vehicle on one written estimate, each job with a flat total your company approves before the technician comes, and no call-out fee. We invoice the dealership or the fleet owner and provide a W-9 and a certificate of insurance on request. Apex Locksmith Pros holds Texas locksmith company license #B31197901 from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Bureau, and is insured. We are open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, weekends included, and work in English.

The lock and key problems we hear most from dealerships & fleets in McKinney and nearby cities in Dallas, Collin and Denton counties, and how we handle each one.
A vehicle with no key cannot be moved, reconditioned or listed. For supported makes and models we cut and program a new key by VIN on the lot, starting from $229+ for all keys lost.
Buyers expect a second key, and a car with one key is a weaker listing. We copy and program spare keys from a working key, starting from $110+.
When a work van is down to its last fob, losing it takes the vehicle off the road. We program new fobs and remotes, from $129+, and replace fob batteries on keys that have stopped responding.
A worn ignition cylinder can leave a key stuck or refusing to turn. We repair ignition cylinders on site, starting from $219+, so the vehicle does not have to be towed.
Each service below has its own page with pricing notes, the process and answers to common questions, so your team can check details before requesting work.

“Amazing service, best locksmith in Texas, made key for my bmw within 20 min definitely recommend”
“I had an excellent experience with Apex Locksmith Pros. I needed two new smart keys for my Honda CR-V, and the technician handled everything quickly and professionally. Both keys were cut and programmed on-site, worked perfectly, and the entire process was much faster and more affordable than going to the dealership. The technician arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and used professional equipment to ensure both key fobs worked flawlessly before leaving. The service was honest, efficient, and stress-free.”(excerpt)
“I accidentally washed my Hyundai key fob and got an outrageous estimate from the dealer. Called Apex, and they were very helpful. Apex told me where to get new keys for just $35 each (I ordered two since I had previously lost my spare); and then programmed both keys in under five minutes! It was an amazing experience and a drastically better deal than the dealership. Highly recommend!”
