- 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
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 Tarzana, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
Tarzana is well inside the area we cover, so get in touch and we will tell you honestly what it will take.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
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
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.
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.
