What to have ready when you call

Year, make and model are the first questions, because key blanks and programming tools differ from one vehicle to the next. If you need a new key, have proof of ownership such as the registration or title and your ID ready for the locksmith. The VIN, visible through the windshield on the driver’s side, helps too.

Chip keys and fobs explained

Most cars built from the late 1990s onward use a transponder chip in the key head. The car must recognize that chip before it will start, so a key that is cut correctly but not programmed will turn the ignition and still not start the engine. Programming adds the new key to the car’s list and, if you lost a key, can remove the missing one.

Pricing

Vehicle keys, ignition changes and transponder programming start at $100.00 plus the $29 service call fee; lockouts start at $19.00 plus the trip charge. Details are on the price list, and there is a 10% key extraction coupon for car locksmith service.
