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. For Toluca Lake 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 Toluca Lake, 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.
Pricing depends on what the job actually needs, so we quote you on the call or on site before we touch anything. Nothing goes ahead until you have agreed to the price in writing.
We would rather turn up on time than quote a time we cannot hold. Expect a straight arrival window when you call.

The year, make, and model, plus proof you own the vehicle — ID and registration. We verify ownership on every automotive key job.
