Where we are straight with you
This is where honesty matters: we do not make keys for every vehicle. Some newer, luxury, and European models require dealer-only equipment or a tow to the dealer, and certain all-keys-lost jobs are beyond mobile programming. We check your year, make, and model before booking and tell you plainly when the dealer is your only route. Around Sherman Oaks, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Sherman Oaks and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
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.
We would rather quote you straight than bait you with a number that changes on arrival. You hear the price up front and sign off on it in writing before anything begins.
We tell you a realistic arrival window on the call. Traffic across the Valley varies, so we would rather give you a straight answer than a promise we cannot keep.

Questions people ask
Can you still help if the key is lost far from home?
Yes, anywhere in our Sherman Oaks area. Give us the vehicle details and your location and we will confirm whether it is an on-site job before heading out.
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.
