Question 1

What exactly do you do?

Whether you've lost your car key, need a replacement key fob, or want a backup programmed, we handle it all on-site.

Question 2

Do I have to bring my car to you?

Accepted Answer

No — that's the whole point. We come to you. Whether you're stranded in a parking lot, at home, or at work, we travel to your exact location. No tow truck, no dealership trip required.

Question 3

If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just call.

Question 4

How fast can you get to me?

Accepted Answer

Response times vary depending on your location and our current schedule, but we move quickly. When you call, we'll give you an honest ETA. We know being stranded isn't something you can wait on.

Question 5

What's the difference between a car key and a key fob?

Accepted Answer

A traditional car key is a physical key that starts the ignition and may have a basic remote attached. A key fob is the remote control device — used for keyless entry, push-to-start, and proximity unlocking. Many modern vehicles use a smart key or fob that does both. We handle all types.

Question 6

I lost my only key. Can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Losing your only key is one of the most common situations we handle. We can cut and program a brand-new key or fob for your vehicle on-site — no tow truck to the dealership needed. Just call us with your vehicle's year, make, and model and we'll confirm we can help.

Question 7

My key fob stopped working. Do I need a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Sometimes a dead battery is the culprit — that's a quick fix. Other times the fob itself has failed or lost its programming. We'll diagnose the issue on-site and let you know whether a battery swap, a reprogram, or a full replacement is the right solution.

Question 8

Can you program a key fob I bought online?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the fob and your vehicle. Most quality aftermarket fobs can be programmed with our equipment; others are incompatible or require dealer-only software. Call us first and tell us the fob you have —
We stock New Fobs and Keys for most makes and models.

Question 9

Should I get a backup key or fob while you're there?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and we recommend it. Getting a spare programmed while we're already on-site is fast and affordable. It's the best insurance against being stranded again. Many customers wish they'd done it sooner.

Question 10

What vehicles do you work on?

Accepted Answer

We cover most domestic and import makes and models — Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, RAM, Jeep, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Acura, and many more. If you're unsure whether we cover your vehicle, just call — we'll confirm right away.

Question 11

Do you work on older vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work on a wide range of vehicle years. Older vehicles with traditional keys are often simpler and faster to service. Call us with your year, make, and model and we'll confirm compatibility.

Question 12

Do you work on luxury or European vehicles?

Accepted Answer

We cover many luxury and European brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Acura, Volkswagen, and others. Some high-end vehicles require specialized equipment or dealer-only programming — if that's the case, we'll tell you upfront rather than waste your time.

Question 13

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on your vehicle's year, make, and model, and the type of service needed. We're upfront about pricing — call or text us with your vehicle details and we'll give you a quote before we arrive. No surprises.

Here's some of our low standard rates 
STANDARD ADD A KEY BASE RATE ONLY $159.00.
STANDARD SMART FOB BASE RATE ONLY $179.00
STANDARD ALL KEYS LOST SERVICE BASE RATE ONLY $235.00

Question 14

Is it cheaper than going to the dealership?

Accepted Answer

YES — significantly. Dealerships charge a premium price for key and fob services, and you often have to wait days for an appointment and arrange a tow. We offer professional results at a fraction of the cost, and we come to you.

Question 15

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We Accept: Debit and Credit Cards, Cash, Tap Pay and Cash App
