Car Key Replacement FAQs

Q: What should I do if I lost my car key?

A: Stay calm and gather what you can. We typically ask for your make, model, year, and your location. For many key services, you may also need:

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Photo ID
Proof of vehicle ownership

If you are locked out, we can also help with entry first, then handle replacement options.

Q: Can I get a car key made without the original?

A: Yes. The process depends on your vehicle and whether your key is traditional, transponder, or smart key. Many replacements can be done on-site, and mobile service often saves you from towing to a dealership.

Q: Can you replace or program a key fob?

A: Yes. We provide key fob programming and replacement for many makes and models. If your fob is unresponsive or missing, we can help diagnose and resolve the issue.

Q: Can I get a duplicate key for my car?

A: Yes. If you have a working key, duplication is often faster and more affordable than replacing a lost key. Pricing depends on the key type and vehicle system.

Q: Are lost keys covered by car insurance?

A: Some policies include roadside assistance or key replacement coverage, but many do not. Check your policy details and compare your deductible to the replacement cost before filing a claim.
