How a replacement key is made
A North Hills car-key job runs:
- On arrival we verify ownership with ID and registration, then cut and program the key.
- If a working key remains, we add the spare to the car's memory, which is simpler than all-keys-lost.
- If your make is dealer-only, we tell you before you book so you are not paying for a wasted trip.

Where we are straight with you
We will not promise a key for a vehicle we cannot finish. If your make needs the dealer's equipment or a tow, we say so up front, because a wasted call-out helps no one. For North Hills jobs, that candor is part of the quote, not an afterthought.
How we keep it straight
If a lock or a key has let you down in North Hills, call and we will give you a straight answer on the fix.
No job starts until we have confirmed your right to the property or vehicle with ID and suitable proof. That rule holds at every hour and for every kind of lock.
What you pay turns on the hardware and the situation, so we tell you on site and put it in writing first. No work, and no charge, goes ahead without your yes.
We would rather turn up on time than quote a time we cannot hold. Expect a straight arrival window when you call.

Questions people ask
Can you make a key for my car on site?
For many makes, yes — we cut and program at the car in North Hills. Tell us the year, make, and model and we will confirm before booking whether yours is on-site or dealer-only.
Which cars are dealer-only?
Certain newer, luxury, and European models, and some all-keys-lost situations, need dealer equipment. We are upfront about this per vehicle rather than discovering it on arrival.
