Upfront Pricing
Prices depend on the job itself, not on who is asking. We look at:
- Whether the car needs its immobilizer module accessed to program an all-keys-lost key
- The type of key: basic transponder, remote-head, flip key or push-to-start smart key
- Whether you want spare keys made at the same visit
- The make — some European systems take extra equipment and time
Call (516) 750-0433 for an exact quote — it takes a minute. Compared with the dealer, most drivers save both money and time — and skip the tow.

- A new key originated from the VIN or by decoding your door lock — no original needed

- The lost key erased from the car's memory where supported, so it can't start the car if someone finds it
- Lost keys erased from the car's memory where supported

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.

Not after we are done, where the car supports it: we erase lost keys from the immobilizer memory so only the keys you have will start it.
Can you make a key if I have no spare at all?
Yes. With your ID and registration we originate a key from the VIN or by decoding the lock, then program it to your car — no original key needed.
