Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to tow my car to a dealer?+

No. We come to your location with all the equipment needed to cut and program your new key on-site, even for transponder and smart-key vehicles.

How much cheaper than the dealer?+

Typically up to 75% less, depending on the make and model. We service US, Japanese, and Korean brands (Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, Ram, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Subaru, Mazda, and more). For European luxury vehicles like BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Porsche, we recommend going directly to the dealer — those brands now require manufacturer credentials that independent locksmiths can't legally obtain.

How fast can you arrive?+

Mobile units typically arrive within 15-30 minutes anywhere in the Charlotte / Lake Norman service area. We dispatch the closest available technician.

Are you really cheaper than a dealership for car keys?+

Yes — up to 75% less than dealer pricing on most makes and models. We program transponder keys, key fobs, and smart keys on-site without needing to tow your vehicle.
