Frequently Asked Questions
Will a hardware-store copy start my car?
Usually not. Most cars since the late 1990s need a programmed transponder chip, which a plain cut copy doesn't have.
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.
I lost my car keys and have no spare. Can you help?
Yes. With your ID and the registration or title, we make a new key from the VIN and program it to the car — no original needed.
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.
How long does it take?
Most key replacements and programming jobs are finished within an hour of arrival. We tell you what to expect when you call.
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.
