It used to be that losing your car keys meant towing your car to the dealership and waiting days for a replacement. We have changed that. As your local Longboat Key, FL automotive security specialists, we bring the key-making lab to you. Whether you drive a domestic truck or a foreign luxury sedan, our mobile units are equipped to cut and program new keys on the spot.
Car keys are no longer just metal; they are sophisticated electronic devices. Inside the plastic head of your key is a transponder chip. This chip communicates with your car's immobilizer system. If the chip isn't programmed correctly, the fuel pump won't turn on. Our technicians are expert chip key makers. We plug directly into your car's OBD-II port to sync the new key with your vehicle's computer, ensuring a perfect start every time.
