What We Do

From spare keys to all-keys-lost — we cover the full range

Add a Spare Key

Program an additional key to your vehicle. The fastest, simplest key service — and the one that saves the most headaches down the road.

All Keys Lost

No working keys at all? We pull immobilizer codes using our NASTF credentials and program a new key from scratch. One of our specialties.

Transponder Key Programming

Standard chip keys that need to be programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system before they'll start the engine.

Proximity / Smart Keys

Push-to-start key fobs and proximity keys. We program and test full functionality — lock, unlock, start, and panic.

Key Cutting

Precision-cut keys from code or by duplication. We cut standard blades, high-security sidewinder keys, and emergency mechanical blades for smart keys.

Key Fob Programming

Remote entry fobs, flip keys, and remote head keys. We program remote functions and verify all buttons operate correctly.

Security & Verification

Vehicle security is serious. We treat it that way.

NASTF-Authorized Vehicle Security Professional

We are credentialed through the National Automotive Service Task Force with verified background checks. This authorization is required to access immobilizer codes and perform vehicle security work on most modern vehicles.

Stolen Vehicle Verification

Every vehicle is checked against national stolen vehicle databases before any key work is performed. This is a non-negotiable part of our process for the protection of vehicle owners and the integrity of our business.

OEM & Aftermarket Options

We use a combination of factory and high-quality aftermarket keys depending on the vehicle, key type, and your preference. We'll recommend the best option for your situation and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you make keys for the general public or just shops?
Both. We serve auto repair shops on-site — we come to your location. For individual vehicle owners, we offer key services at our facility in Spring Lake Park. This ensures we have all the equipment and controlled conditions needed for the job.
Do you verify vehicle ownership before making keys?
Yes — every vehicle is checked against national stolen vehicle databases before any key work is performed. This is a standard part of our process for the safety and protection of all parties involved. We are a NASTF-authorized Vehicle Security Professional with verified background checks.
What information do you need to make a key?
We need the vehicle year, make, model, and VIN. We also need to know the button configuration and type of key — the easiest way to communicate this is to text or email us a photo of your current key (or the type of key you need). This helps us confirm the correct blank and programming procedure before we schedule.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket keys?
We use a combination of aftermarket and factory (OEM) keys depending on the vehicle, key type, and situation. In many cases, a high-quality aftermarket key provides the same functionality at a lower cost. For vehicles that require OEM keys or when the customer prefers them, we source factory parts. We'll recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Can you make a key if all keys are lost?
Yes — all-keys-lost situations are one of our specialties. The process involves pulling immobilizer and security codes using our NASTF credentials, cutting or programming a new key from scratch, and performing the necessary security relearns. It takes longer than adding a spare, but we handle it regularly.
What types of keys do you program?
We handle standard transponder keys, proximity (push-to-start) smart keys, key fobs, remote head keys, and flip keys. We also cut emergency/mechanical key blades. If you're not sure what type of key your vehicle uses, send us a photo and we'll identify it.
How long does key programming take?
Most key jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the vehicle and whether it's an add-a-key or all-keys-lost situation. Some vehicles have longer security relearn procedures. We'll give you a time estimate when you reach out.
What vehicles do you cover?
We cut and program keys for all major makes — GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Volkswagen, and more. Coverage varies by model year and key type. Send us the vehicle details and we'll confirm.
