Since the late 90s, almost all car keys contain a transponder chip. This chip sends a unique encrypted signal to your car's immobilizer. If the signal doesn't match, the fuel pump won't engage. We are expert chip key makers. We don't just cut the metal blade; we plug into your car's OBD-II port to program the new chip directly to your car's computer, ensuring it starts every time.
Push-to-start vehicles use "Proximity Smart Keys." These are highly sophisticated computers. We stock a wide variety of OEM and aftermarket fobs for major brands. Whether you need a BMW key replacement, a Ford fob, or a Toyota smart key, we can program it on-site for a fraction of the dealership cost.
Sometimes the key isn't the problem—it's the ignition cylinder. If your key won't turn, or if it's stuck in the ignition, we can diagnose the issue. We can rebuild wafers inside the ignition or replace the entire assembly if necessary, matching it to your existing keys so you don't need two separate keys for the doors and the engine.

Hercules is a city in western Contra Costa County, California. Situated along the coast of San Pablo Bay, it is located in the eastern region of the San Francisco Bay Area, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Berkeley, California. As of the 2020 census, its population was 26,016, according to the United States Census Bureau. The site of Hercules was first developed in 1881 as a manufacturing facility of the California Powder Works for the production of its patented dynamite formulation, Hercules powder. In 1882, the Hercules Powder Company was incorporated and assumed responsibility for the Hercules site. It was one of several explosive manufacturers that were active along the Pinole shoreline in the late 19th to the mid-20th century. The small company town that grew up near the facility subsequently became known as "Hercules", and was incorporated at the end of 1900. Starting in the 1970s, Hercules was heavily redeveloped as suburban bedroom community that lies along the I-80 corridor in Western Contra Costa County. It has a very ethnically diverse population.
