Call (919) 267-8486How lost key replacement works
When you call, we'll ask for your vehicle's year, make, and model so we arrive with the right key blank and chip. On-site, we cut the new key, then use professional diagnostic tools to pair it to your car's immobilizer. For many vehicles we can also disable the lost key so it can no longer start the car, added peace of mind if it fell into the wrong hands.
Every make and model
From transponder keys to push-to-start fobs, we handle domestic and import vehicles alike. See our full automotive services for everything we offer.
Customer Situations
Locked out of your keys? We handle every situation
Lost car keys come in many forms. Whatever happened, we come to you and make a working key on-site.
Lost your only key
No spare and no way to start the car. We generate a brand-new key on-site and program it to your vehicle, even with no working key to copy.

Proximity and push-to-start smart keys can be replaced and paired to your car's system right in your driveway.
Missing key fob
Misplaced your remote fob? We cut and program a replacement fob so you can lock, unlock, and start your vehicle again.
Broken key
Key snapped, worn down, or stuck? We make a fresh, precision-cut key so you are not stranded with a damaged one.
Bought a car with one key
Recently purchased a vehicle that came with a single key? We make a spare so you always have a backup.
Need a spare before you lose the last one
Down to your final working key? Get a duplicate now, replacing all-keys-lost is far more involved than cutting a spare.

Frequently asked questions
- I lost the only key to my car, can you still make one?
- Yes. This is one of our most common calls. We can generate a new key and program it to your vehicle on-site, even when there is no working key to copy from. Have your ID and proof of ownership ready.
- Why use a mobile locksmith instead of the dealership?
- Many drivers find a mobile locksmith convenient because we come to you, so there is no tow. Call with your year, make, and model and we will talk through what your vehicle needs. We also compare the locksmith and dealership routes in detail on our blog.
- Do you need to tow my car to make a key?
- No. We are fully mobile and make keys right where your car is parked, at home, work, or roadside. Just call (919) 267-8486 with your year, make, and model.
- What information do you need to make a lost key?
- Your vehicle's year, make, and model, plus proof of ownership and a photo ID. For some vehicles we'll also ask for the VIN so we arrive with the correct key blank and chip.
