How a replacement key is made
A Winnetka car-key job runs:
- We confirm on the call whether we can do your vehicle on site or it is dealer-only.
- We test that the key starts and locks the car, with the total agreed in writing first.
- If a working key remains, we add the spare to the car's memory, which is simpler than all-keys-lost.
When people call us for this in Winnetka
- You lost every key to the car.
- A used car came with only one key.
- A key or fob broke and no longer works.

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 Winnetka, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in Winnetka, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
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
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.
What do you need to make a car key?
The year, make, and model, plus proof you own the vehicle — ID and registration. We verify ownership on every automotive key job.
