FAQs

Q: Can you program a spare key while I wait?
A: In many cases yes — especially for common makes/models. Call ahead with your vehicle details for ETA.
Q: What if my car uses a push-start smart key?
A: We program push-start and proximity keys; some extraordinary security systems may require dealer-only access, but we’ll advise you up front.
Q: Do you need my original key?
A: Not always. With proof of ownership and VIN, we can usually supply and program a new key.
