Got a question? We're here for you!

How long does it take to get a car key replaced?

Typically, the time required to replace a car key depends on the type of key and vehicle model. Standard car keys can often be replaced within 30 minutes to an hour. However, for transponder keys or vehicles with advanced security systems, it might take up to 1-2 hours as they require additional programming. Our team aims to provide a swift service to get you back on the road as soon as possible.

Is it as good as the original key?

Yes. It will lock, unlock, and start the vehicle exactly like your existing key.

Can I get a spare key made without the original?

Yes, you can get a spare key made even if you don't have the original. Our skilled locksmiths can create a new key using your car's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and other secure methods. It's important to have a spare key to prevent future lockouts, and we recommend keeping it in a safe place.
