24 Hour Mobile Auto Key Replacement Pricing
Here is what moves the price up or down:
- The make and model
- The type of key (basic, transponder, remote-head, flip or smart key)
- Whether a working key is available or all keys are lost

Compared with the dealer, most drivers save both money and time — and skip the tow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have lost every key and have no spare?
We can still make a new key. With your ID and the registration or title, we originate a key from the VIN or the locks and program it to the car.
Will you tell me the price before you come?
Always. You get the price on the phone, before a technician is dispatched.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Nassau County, much of Suffolk County and Queens, including JFK Airport, Jones Beach, Resorts World Casino and UBS Arena.
Do you repair remote head keys?
Yes. Honda and Toyota remote head repair is one of our most common jobs — a new shell, buttons or blade often costs far less than a new key.
How long does a replacement take?
Most key replacements are done within an hour of arrival; some European systems take longer, and we tell you when you call.
Do you have dealer programming tools?
Yes. We use dealer-level software, including Ford FDRS and GM GDS2, to program keys on newer Ford and GM vehicles that generic tools can't reach.
Do you work weekends and holidays?
Yes. We work every day of the year, and the price is always quoted before we come out. Call (516) 750-0433.
Do I need to bring the car to you?
No. We are a mobile locksmith: the technician comes to your car at home, at work or at the roadside.
