Our locksmiths can instantly repair the key even if it is slightly salvageable – or if not, they can use it for parts that would save you money and time – repairing of key costs less than creating a new one entirely. We don’t immediately rush new keys; instead, we fix the existing ones first.
Transponder Key Programming/Reprogramming
Our team can use already existing keys to program your key. For this purpose, we will use specialized transponder key programming equipment and tools. It is crucial to erase all the previously connected keys to the car. For this purpose, we follow a procedure that ensures the previous transponder no longer accepts the car’s transceiver. The same method can also be used for the reprogramming of the keys. It provides extra security and safety as compared to other key replacement techniques.
Remote Transponder Key Services
Only car models may readily be programmed with the use of code. Instead, our locksmiths might use an already existing key. When the transponder key programming is done at a remote location (away from the car), some manipulation is still needed inside the car. Our team will present the exact scenario you are dealing with and inform you if additional work is required. It is important to note that the remote transponder key method is an alternative to regular coding – depending on what’s easier for you.
In-Car Transponder Chip Programming
Many cars support in-car transponder chip programming, which also benefits you in several ways. While using in-car transponder chip programming, our team might not need the car’s existing keys. This method is commonly used. Our team must identify the correct code the vehicle’s receiver needs. After this, the code is easily copied onto a blank key that is previously non-programmed. Once this is done, our technicians might remove all the existing keys if required.
