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.
