Car keys and fobs in Koreatown

Which key do you have?

• Plain metal key — older vehicles; simplest to copy.
• Transponder key — has a chip the car must recognize before it starts; it needs programming, not just cutting.
• Remote or flip key — a transponder key with lock/unlock buttons.
• Smart / push-to-start fob — no key turns; the car detects the fob nearby. Programming needs the right equipment for your vehicle.

What we need from you

• Year, make and model — and the VIN if you can, from the registration or the base of the windshield.
• Proof of ownership: ID that matches the registration or title.
• Whether you still have a working key. Making a spare is usually simpler and cheaper than replacing all lost keys.

What can be done on site

Not every vehicle can be keyed or programmed outside a dealer, and aftermarket fobs bought online don't always program. Tell us the vehicle (and the part number if you've bought a fob) when you book, and we'll tell you before booking whether it can be done and what it costs — so you can compare it with the dealer.

Questions people ask

I lost all my car keys. Can you make a new one?

Often, yes, for many vehicles — with proof of ownership. Tell us the year, make, model and VIN and we'll confirm whether it can be done on site and the price before booking.

Can you program a fob I bought online?

Sometimes. Aftermarket fobs don't always program to every vehicle. Send us the part number first and we'll tell you before you pay for a visit.

Is it cheaper than the dealer?

It depends on the vehicle. We give you a firm price for your car before any work, so you can compare.
