The Science of Chip Key Makers


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.

Key Fob Programming & Smart Keys


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.

Ignition Repair and Replacement


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.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can you make a car key without original? Yes. We use your vehicle's VIN to access the manufacturer's key code database. We then use a high-precision CNC machine to cut a brand new key that fits your locks perfectly.
  • How long does lost car key replacement take? Most standard transponder keys can be cut and programmed in under an hour once we arrive. High-security European vehicles may take slightly longer due to complex encryption.
  • Do you do laser cut keys? Yes. Many modern cars use "sidewinder" or laser-cut keys which have a groove down the center rather than jagged edges. Our mobile vans are equipped with the specialized milling machines needed for these keys.
  • Is it expensive to replace a key fob? It depends on the vehicle, but our prices are consistently lower than the dealership because we have lower overhead and don't require towing. We offer upfront pricing so you know the cost before we start.
  • Can you erase my old keys? Yes. If your keys were stolen, we can clear the old keys from the car's memory during the programming process so the stolen key will no longer start the car.

"My key broke off in the door. He extracted the broken piece and made me a new spare on the spot. Lifesavers."
