Where we are straight with you
Mainstream makes we usually do on site; certain luxury and European platforms, and some all-keys-lost cases, are dealer-only. We confirm which yours is by year and VIN before booking rather than discovering it in your driveway. Around Mission Hills, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
Mission Hills is well inside the area we cover, so get in touch and we will tell you honestly what it will take.
Expect us to ask for identification and some proof that the property or vehicle is yours or that you are authorized for it. We do this on every job, and we appreciate your patience with it.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
Ask us how long and you will get a real answer shaped by where we are and the traffic, not a figure picked to sound good.

Questions people ask
How long does making a car key take?
Many on-site jobs are done in one visit, but it varies by make and whether any key remains. We give you a realistic read when you tell us the vehicle.
Is a spare cheaper than an all-keys-lost replacement?
Almost always. If you still have one working key, adding a spare is simpler and cheaper than starting from none, so it is worth doing before the last key is lost.
