Automotive Key Services We Offer

MyKey Locksmith provides every automotive key service you might need — from simple key duplication to complex smart key programming for the latest vehicles. Our mobile automotive locksmith units carry professional-grade key-cutting machines, transponder programming tools, and diagnostic equipment to handle any vehicle key situation on-site at your location. Services include car key replacement, spare key creation, transponder key programming, smart key and proximity remote programming, key fob replacement and repair, broken key extraction, ignition lock cylinder repair, and key-by-VIN origination when all keys are lost.

Key Technology Explained

Understanding your vehicle's key technology helps you know what to expect during service. Vehicles from the 1990s typically used basic metal keys without electronics. Starting around 2000, most manufacturers adopted transponder chips — small radio transmitters embedded in the key head that must match your car's immobilizer for the engine to start. Around 2010, many vehicles transitioned to smart keys with proximity detection and push-button start. Today's vehicles increasingly use encrypted rolling-code systems with multiple layers of security. Our technicians are trained on all generations of automotive key technology and carry the programming equipment for each type.

Key Fob Battery & Repair

Before assuming you need a new key fob, let us diagnose the issue. A dead battery is the most common reason a key fob stops working and costs just $5-15 to replace. If the problem isn't the battery, we can reprogram your existing fob, replace the case/shell while preserving your electronics, or supply a new fob if needed. We stock common fob batteries (CR2032, CR2025, CR1632) for on-the-spot replacement.

Spare Key Creation

Having a spare car key is the best insurance against a future lockout or lost-key emergency. We create duplicate keys with full transponder programming for a fraction of what dealerships charge. A spare smart key or fob programmed today could save you hundreds in emergency service fees later.

Broken Key Extraction

If your key breaks off inside the door lock or ignition cylinder, do not attempt to extract it yourself — pliers and tweezers can push the broken piece deeper. Our technicians use precision extraction tools designed to safely remove broken key fragments without damaging the lock cylinder or ignition. After extraction, we cut a new replacement key on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a spare car key cost?

Spare key costs depend on your vehicle type. Basic transponder key duplicates typically cost $100-200. Smart key copies cost $150-350. We provide exact pricing by phone based on your vehicle's year, make, and model.

Can you fix a key fob that stopped working?

Often, yes. We diagnose the issue on-site — it may be a dead battery ($5-15 fix), a programming issue (reprogrammable on the spot), or a damaged circuit board (shell replacement). Full diagnosis takes just a few minutes.

Do you service all car brands?

Yes, we provide key services for all major makes including Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Volkswagen, Dodge, Jeep, and more. See our full brand list.

Can you make a key with just the VIN number?

Yes, for most vehicles we can originate a new key using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) combined with proof of ownership. This is the standard procedure when all keys are lost and no working key is available.
