Get a replacement when no working key remains
If you’ve lost your only key, tell us whether it was a metal key, a remote key or a push-to-start fob. The vehicle and key type determine the replacement and whether it needs to be programmed. A key that only opens the door and one that also starts the car can have different requirements.
Have proof that you own the vehicle or are authorized to request the work. If documents are inside the locked car, say so when you call. Share the parking location and any garage access rules so we can confirm the visit details.
NYC locksmith pricing guideCar Key Replacement FAQ
Can you replace a car key without the original?
Yes, for supported vehicles. Call with the year, make, model and ignition type so we can confirm the replacement options and what proof of authorization to bring.
What should I have ready if I’ve lost all my car keys?
Have your vehicle year, make, model, exact parking location and proof that you’re authorized to request the work. Let us know if the documents are locked inside the car.
Will the replacement start the car?
Tell us that you need a key that starts the vehicle. We’ll check which key and programming your model requires before arranging service.
What if I still have one working key?
Tell us what the working key does. If you want a spare that matches it, ask about car key duplication.
