Emergency Auto Key Copy in Hempstead: What We Do

People call us for emergency auto key copy for all sorts of reasons — a lost key, a broken fob, a car that won't start. Whatever the reason, car key duplication means making spare keys — cut and programmed — while you still have a working key, done properly at your car.

Included With Every Visit

  • Spare keys cut to match your working key exactly
  • Remote and smart key spares paired with the car
  • Spare keys cut and programmed at the same visit
  • Valet keys that open the doors but not the trunk or glovebox, where available
  • Several spares at once for family members and fleets
  • Emergency blade cut for smart keys, for when the battery dies
  • Transponder chips programmed so the spare actually starts the car

Makes and Models We Work On

Our technicians program flip keys, remote-head keys, push-to-start smart keys and transponder chip keys for Chevrolet, Land Rover, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, Volvo, Subaru and Hyundai. Not on the list? Call (516) 750-0433 with the year, make and model. See our Toyota, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram and Land Rover & Jaguar pages for brand details.

What to Expect

For emergency auto key copy in Hempstead, the visit looks like this:

  1. Call (516) 750-0433 with the year, make and model and the type of key you have now.
  2. We quote the spare and an arrival time.
  3. The technician cuts the new key from your working key and programs it.

Cost Factors

You get a firm number on the call, before we come out. It is based on:

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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 work on all makes and models?

We carry keys and programming for most cars, SUVs, vans and pickups. Call with the year, make and model and we confirm right away.

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.

Why get a spare before I lose my key?

Adding a key while you still have one is far simpler and cheaper than an all-keys-lost replacement — often a fraction of the cost.

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.

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.
