FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
- We DO NOT recommend buying keys online. Many of these low-quality keys have damaged vehicles permanently until they are taken back to the dealership for expensive servicing. We have seen it and dealt with it first hand. If you would like to source your own keys and/or fobs, please download and fill out the liability waiver here, only then will we attempt to program your keys/fobs. Cheap keys can deliver bad information and will corrupt files and information in vehicle computers. Those computers will then have to be replaced and programmed to the vehicle along with new keys. This is VERY expensive, so please proceed at your own risk.

- BMW & Mini Cooper – When getting keys from the BMW dealer, the dealer DOES NOT have the ability to laser cut your keys at their location. Instead, they must order your keys by VIN and wait for them to arrive. This can take up to two weeks, then you must leave your vehicle at the dealership for several days while waiting for them to be programmed. They can also be very expensive – especially if you lose all of your keys.
- Jaguar and Landrover – If you are the proud owner of a Jaguar or Landrover vehicle, you have probably noticed the key does not quite look like a regular car key. These keys are extremely expensive at the Jaguar dealership, especially if you lose them all.

- All Keys lost? – Have you lost every single method of getting into, or starting your vehicle? No problem. We can decode locks to make a key from scratch and program it to your vehicle. This is a skill that very few locksmiths have without paying the dealership to give you a key code or towing the vehicle to them for programming.
- Ignition Barrel not Turning? Honda owners, we are talking to you…mostly… Ha-ha. Honda has a poorly designed key that damages ignitions. It requires the ignition to be rebuilt and new keys to be cut. We can do this and necessary programming involved to get your key turning and get you back on the road quickly. Honda keys and ignition parts are ALWAYS in stock.
- DO NOT let the dealership or a mechanic tell you have to replaced the whole thing – it is EXPENSIVE and you have to wait for the parts. Let us rebuild it for you in the same day at a fraction of the cost.
- EEPROM work – Our locksmiths are one of the rare ones that can perform very complicated EEPROM work. This requires removing modules, disassembling them, and soldering wires/components to extract information from chips on circuit boards. This takes a lot of training and expensive tools to do so cleanly and accurately.
