Key Services
Automotive Key Services
Professional key cutting and programming—without the dealership price tag. Most keys ready same-day.
Skip the Dealership
Lost your only key? Need a spare before it becomes an emergency? Dealerships charge premium prices and often require towing your vehicle to them. Wait times can stretch into days.
We provide the same key cutting and programming services—using professional-grade equipment and factory diagnostic tools—at a fraction of the cost.
Most keys can be cut and programmed while you wait.

Same Tools as the Dealership

Common Situations We Handle
"I lost my only key"
For many domestic and Asian vehicles, we can create a new key from scratch—no existing key needed. We'll cut the key and program it to your vehicle's immobilizer.
"I need a spare key"
Smart move. Having a spare prevents the emergency (and expense) of being stranded with no key. We can cut and program a spare while you wait.
"The dealership wants $400+ for a key"
We hear this constantly. Our pricing is significantly lower, and we can usually complete the work faster. Same quality, less hassle.
"I bought a used car with only one key"
Common situation. We can add keys to your vehicle so you have backups. Much cheaper than finding out you need one after losing the original.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about key services
How long does it take to cut and program a key?
If we have the blank in stock, most keys can be completed in 30-60 minutes. Complex programming or special-order blanks may take longer.
Can you make a key if I've lost all my keys?
For many domestic and Asian vehicles, yes. The Lonsdor K518 PRO can handle all-key-lost situations for supported vehicles. Call with your year/make/model and we'll let you know.
Why don't you service European vehicles?
European manufacturers use proprietary systems that require expensive, brand-specific equipment and ongoing software subscriptions. The volume of European key work in our area doesn't justify that investment.
Is a dealership key better quality?
No. We use the same quality key blanks and the same programming protocols. For Ford, Dodge, and GM, we literally use the same factory tools. The end result is identical.
Do you keep key blanks in stock?
We stock common blanks for popular domestic and Asian vehicles. Less common keys may need to be ordered (usually 1-2 business days).
Can you program a key I bought online?
Sometimes. Aftermarket keys vary in quality and compatibility. We can attempt programming, but we can't guarantee success with keys we didn't supply.
Professional Keys, Fair Prices
Same tools. Same quality. Less hassle. Walk-ins welcome.
