Replacement car keys
Replacement car keys, matched to the vehicle.
A replacement key may need more than a matching blade. Depending on the vehicle, it can also include a coded transponder, remote buttons or proximity functions. Send the year, make, model and current key situation so the mobile locksmith can identify the suitable parts and programming before quoting.
Program when required
Modern transponder, remote and smart keys may need to be introduced to the vehicle electronically.
Test the complete key
The finished key should be checked for starting, locking and remote functions that apply to your vehicle.
