Laser Cut Keys

Note that not all car keys are the same. For example, modern cars often use “laser-cut” keys. This includes brands like Honda, Lexus, and BMW. Unlike old keys with teeth on the side, these have a groove on the blade face.

Sadly, standard machines cannot cut these. But, our vans have special laser cutters. Also, we can decode your lock even if you lost the key. Thus, your ignition stays healthy and does not stick.

Transponder Chips

Often, people ask, “Why does a car key cost more than a house key?” Simply put, the answer is the Transponder Chip.

To explain, the key head holds a tiny chip. When you turn the key, the car scans this chip. Then, if the signal matches, the car starts. If not, the engine stays off. Truly, this is a key anti-theft feature.

So, our job is digital, not just mechanical. We use tablets to pair the new key to your car. Plus, we stay up to date with software for 2024 and 2025 models.

Broken Key Removal

Over time, keys wear down. Then, a weak key might snap. This can happen inside your door lock or ignition. Of course, this happens at bad times.

However, we can fix it. Once we arrive, we use special tools. We “fish” the broken piece out. As a result, we save the lock. You usually do not need a new ignition.

Smart Fobs and Remotes

Now, metal keys are fading away. Instead, drivers prefer “Push-to-Start” fobs. These let you start the car with the key in your pocket.

Luckily, we stock many remotes. Also, we sell them for less than the dealer. For instance, we have Ford flip-keys and Tesla cards. We can get you paired in minutes.
