We replace and program almost any kind of key fob, whether your car is brand new or a bit older. If your ignition key is broken, we fix that too. And when we set up your new key fob, we’ll make sure the old ones stop working, so only you have access. That’s real peace of mind—no more worrying about someone else having an old key.

Sometimes, your car might even stall while you’re driving. We can swap out the ignition cylinder and get you back on the road fast.

Ignition Switch Replacement

The ignition switch isn’t technically a lock, but it controls your car’s electrical systems and whether things actually turn on. If you need it replaced, let a pro handle it. Trying to do it yourself can lead to bigger problems and expensive repairs.

Rekey Ignition

Rekeying means we change the inside parts of your ignition so it works with a new key, making your old keys useless. Most people prefer this over replacing the entire ignition, since it’s quicker, cheaper, and you don’t end up juggling two different keys for your car. Once we rekey your ignition, you just use one key for everything. Simple.

Transponder Key Programming

Back in the late ’90s, car makers started adding chips to keys for extra security. These transponder chips are like a digital handshake—when you stick the right key in, the chip talks to the car and says, “Yep, it’s me.” That stops thieves from hot-wiring or forcing your car to start.

But if the chip isn’t programmed right or is missing, your car won’t start. Just cutting a key isn’t enough. We handle the whole process—cutting the key, programming the chip, and even making sure old transponder keys won’t work anymore.

Car Key Extraction

If your key breaks off or gets jammed in the lock—door or ignition—we can get it out fast. Leaving a stuck key can drain your battery or mess up your lock, so don’t wait. We’ll remove it carefully and get you back inside your car.
