Car keys made and programmedwhere your car is parked.

Yes — that is our specialty. With no working key, the key is originated from the vehicle's key code and the immobiliser is programmed from scratch. Bring your driver's licence and the vehicle registration so we can confirm ownership. Call with the year, make and model and we will confirm on the phone whether it is a job we complete on site.

In most cases, no. A mobile locksmith with the right equipment can originate a key at the vehicle, so there is no tow and no dealer appointment. There are a small number of makes and model years where the dealer is genuinely the right answer, and we will tell you if yours is one of them rather than take the job and find out.

The year, make and model of the vehicle, and the VIN if you can read it through the base of the windscreen. For a home or business call, the number of locks and the hardware brand if you know it. That is what lets us quote a real range instead of a guess.

A driver's licence and the vehicle registration. If the vehicle is a rental, the rental agreement works in place of the registration. Originating a key to a car is exactly the kind of capability that has to be handled carefully, so this is not negotiable.

Yes. A certificate of insurance is available on request — useful for property managers, HOAs and commercial clients. Just ask when you call.

No. We give a real price range on the phone before dispatching. If something at the vehicle or the door changes that range, you hear it before any work begins.

The mechanical blade is working and the transponder is not being recognised. That is an immobiliser issue rather than a cutting issue. Look for a small key or padlock symbol flashing on the dashboard, which usually confirms it.

Yes — dispatch runs 24 hours a day, every day. Call and a person answers.

If a child or a pet is shut inside, call 911 before anything else; a car interior reaches dangerous temperatures within minutes in South Florida. Otherwise, check the boot and every other door, because on more vehicles than you would expect one of them is unlocked. Then call us with the exact location — garage level and section, or the nearest entrance in a large lot.

Usually, and the bigger saving is the tow. A dealer needs the vehicle on their lot, which means a flatbed and an appointment on top of the key itself. A mobile auto locksmith brings the cutting and programming equipment to the car. Call with your year, make and model for a real range.

Duplication copies an existing working key — quicker and cheaper. Originating creates a new car key from the vehicle's key code when nothing is left to copy, then programs it to the immobiliser from scratch. If you still have one working key, duplicating it now avoids the second job later.

Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and a person answers rather than a machine. Whether it is a lost car key, a lockout or a door that will not secure, the phone is the right route at any hour.
