Car key replacement & programming

Proof of ownership is needed for vehicle keys; some newer models can only be programmed with dealer equipment.

What this covers

Replacement car keys, transponder and smart key programming, and broken key extraction.

Before the locksmith arrives

  • Wait somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night.
  • Have ID and proof of address or vehicle ownership ready.
  • Do not force the door or window — frame and glass damage usually costs more than the lock.
