How a replacement key is made
A Van Nuys car-key job runs:
- You tell us the year, make, and model, and whether any working key remains.
- 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.
When people call us for this in Van Nuys
- A used car came with only one key.
- You want a spare before the only key goes missing.
- A key or fob broke and no longer works.

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. Around Van Nuys, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Van Nuys 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.
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.
Our arrival estimate is tied to our actual location and the roads that day. If something changes it, we tell you instead of leaving you guessing.

Questions people ask
Do you program fobs and push-to-start keys?
For many makes, yes. See key fob programming. Some push-to-start and proximity systems are dealer-only, and we will tell you which yours is.
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.
