Dealerships often charge premium prices and require you to tow the vehicle in, then wait days. We come to you, usually the same day, and handle even 'all keys lost' cases by originating a new key to your vehicle and deleting old ones from memory. Making a spare now is far cheaper than an emergency replacement after you've lost your last key.

Whatever brought you here, we arrive ready to handle the whole job on-site. Our car key replacement service in Piedmont covers:

  • Mechanical and laser-cut keys
  • Transponder and chip key programming

  • Lost-key deletion from vehicle memory

  3. 3

    Cut & program
