Lost Your Car Key? We Can Replace It Without the Original

You don’t need to visit the dealership if you’ve lost your only car key. Our locksmiths can generate a new key using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to:

Create a key from scratch based on your vehicle’s data
Program transponder chips and smart keys
Ensure your replacement key functions exactly like the original

This service saves you time and money and prevents you from having to tow your car to the dealership.

Ignition Key Services

If your key won’t turn in the ignition or the ignition cylinder is worn out, the issue might not be with the key itself. A failing ignition switch can leave you stranded, but we offer ignition key repair and replacement to restore proper function.

We repair or replace worn-out ignition cylinders, ensuring your key turns smoothly. If your key is lost or stolen, we can also rekey your ignition so that old keys no longer work. In cases where a key is stuck or broken inside the ignition, our locksmiths provide safe key extraction services, removing the obstruction without damaging your ignition system.
