Lost Every Key? Don’t Tow It!
Losing your last car key often feels like a disaster that ends with a tow truck dragging your car to the dealership for a $600 bill. That’s the old way. We are a fully mobile key lab. We drive to your parked car, generate a new key from scratch, and program it on the spot.
Verification Required
To make a key from scratch (All Keys Lost), we are legally required to verify vehicle ownership. Please have your driver's license and registration or title ready when we arrive. We cannot proceed without proof of ownership.
Common “Lost Key” Scenarios
All Keys Lost
You have zero working keys. We use Lishi tools to decode the lock cylinder and cut a new blade, then plug into the OBDII to program the chip.
HighStolen Keys
If keys were stolen, we can 'de-authorize' the old keys from the car's memory so they can no longer start the engine.
MediumBroken / Snapped
If the key broke, we extract the pieces and use them to trace a new, stronger key on our duplication machine.
LowThe “From Scratch” Workflow
Entry
Locked out? We pick the door lock to gain access. This also helps us 'read' the wafer depths to determine the key cuts.
Generation
We enter the lock code into our computerized cutter to produce a fresh metal key blade that turns the ignition.
Programming
We connect to the immobilizer system. For most cars, this takes 10-20 minutes. For some (like VW/Audi), we may need to pull pin codes.
Verification
We verify the new key starts the engine and runs for at least 60 seconds to ensure the security light stays off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key if I've lost all my keys?
Yes! Even if you've lost every key to your vehicle, we can make new keys on-site. We use professional locksmith techniques to cut new keys based on your lock cylinder codes or key code data. For transponder keys, we can program new chips to your vehicle's immobilizer system. No need for expensive dealer towing - we handle everything at your location.
How much does car key replacement cost?
Car key replacement costs $125-$450 depending on your key type and situation. Standard metal keys cost $125-$175. Transponder key replacement costs $175-$275. Smart keys and advanced fobs cost $225-$450. Lost-all-keys situations cost more than replacement when you have a working key. We provide exact quotes before starting work.
How long does it take to replace lost car keys?
Most car key replacements are completed within 30-60 minutes on-site. Standard key cutting takes 20-30 minutes. Transponder key replacement with programming takes 40-60 minutes. Complex smart key replacement can take 60-90 minutes. We complete most replacements while you wait at your location.
Do you need my VIN to make a new key?
Your VIN is helpful but not always required. For many vehicles, we can determine key codes from your door or ignition lock cylinders. However, having your VIN number handy when you call speeds up the process and helps us confirm we have the correct key blank and programming information for your specific vehicle.
Can you replace keys for push-button start vehicles?
Yes! We can replace all types of modern car keys including smart keys and fobs for push-button start vehicles. Our professional equipment can program proximity keys and smart keys for all makes and models. This service is typically completed on-site without requiring a dealer visit.
What if I don't know my car's location?
If you've lost your keys and can't remember exactly where you parked, contact us immediately anyway. We can help you locate your vehicle and provide key replacement once found. If your vehicle was towed, we can also provide mobile key replacement at the tow yard or wherever your vehicle is located.
