Lost car key replacement means making a brand-new working key when every key is gone — even with no spare and no original to copy. You get a firm quote on the phone, a realistic arrival time, and a technician who tests everything with you before leaving.
Honda and Toyota remote head repair often saves the cost of a brand-new key — ask us before you replace it. Skipping the dealer usually saves time and money: no tow truck, no parts order, no appointment days away. Read on for how it works, or call (516) 750-0433 now.

Why Drivers Choose Car Key Locksmith
- Licensed, insured technicians you can trust
- Dealer-level programming equipment in every van
- Usually cheaper and faster than the dealer
- Local technicians who know Long Island roads and neighborhoods
- Everything tested before we leave — doors, ignition, trunk and remote buttons
What You Pay For
We quote every job upfront on the phone, so you know the price before anyone is dispatched. What the price depends on:
- Whether the car needs its immobilizer module accessed to program an all-keys-lost key
- Whether you want spare keys made at the same visit
- The type of key: basic transponder, remote-head, flip key or push-to-start smart key
- The make — some European systems take extra equipment and time
Call (516) 750-0433 with your year, make and model for an exact quote. It is usually less than the dealer, and there is no tow to pay for.
Included With Every Visit
Here is what we do on site:
- Honest advice on repairing versus replacing
- The lost key erased from the car's memory where supported, so it can't start the car if someone finds it
- A new key originated from the VIN or by decoding your door lock — no original needed
- Remote functions paired: lock, unlock, trunk and panic
- A spare made at the same visit for much less than a second emergency call
A Few Pointers
- Be careful with cheap online fobs — many are the wrong frequency for your car.
- Note where you are parked — a cross street or landmark helps us find you fast.
