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. For Studio City 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 Studio City, call and we will give you a straight answer on the fix.
We will ask who you are and for something that ties you to the property or vehicle, every time. It is quick, and it keeps the wrong person from ever getting in.
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.
You get a real ETA when you call — one based on our current location and the roads that day, not a scripted "15 minutes".

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.
Do you program fobs and push-to-start keys?
