How a Typical Call Goes
- Call (516) 750-0433 with your location, the year, make and model, and whether any key still exists.

- On site we verify ownership, then cut the new key and program it to the car.
- We erase the lost keys from the car's memory where possible and test everything with you.
Understanding the Cost
No two jobs are identical, which is why we quote each one on the phone first. The main factors:
- Whether the car needs its immobilizer module accessed to program an all-keys-lost key
- The make — some European systems take extra equipment and time
- The type of key: basic transponder, remote-head, flip key or push-to-start smart key
If anything changes once we see the job, we tell you before doing it. There are no hidden call-out fees: what we quote is what you pay.
Lost Car Key Replacement: What We Do
What you can expect:
- A spare made at the same visit for much less than a second emergency call
- Transponder chip or smart key programmed to your car's immobilizer so it actually starts
- The lost key erased from the car's memory where supported, so it can't start the car if someone finds it
- Ownership checked with ID and registration, for your protection
- Remote functions paired: lock, unlock, trunk and panic
- A new key originated from the VIN or by decoding your door lock — no original needed
- Lost keys erased from the car's memory where supported
- Emergency blade cut for smart keys, for when the battery dies
