Car key replacement FAQ
How much does it cost to replace a car key when you lost your only one?
Your key type sets most of the price. A basic metal key costs less to make than a transponder key. A transponder key has a small chip your car reads before starting. Laser-cut keys also take more work. Those have a groove cut along the flat side, not the edge. Share your make, model, and year when you call. That tells us which key your Georgia car needs. can someone come make me a new car key tonight or do i have to wait till morning Tonight works. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Crews leave from Dunwoody, near the I-285 and GA-400 interchange, and respond the same day. Give us your exact spot, like a deck level or trail lot name.
Do I need to tow my car to get a new key made?
No. The crew comes to your car, wherever it's parked. Your car is what the new key gets programmed to. Programming means teaching the car to accept the new key's chip. The car's immobilizer checks that chip before the engine runs. So the work can happen in a trail lot, office garage, or your driveway.
Can you make a car key with no spare and no original to copy?
Yes, a new key can be built from your car's information. It starts with the VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number. That's your car's ID number, found on the dashboard and your registration. The VIN tells us which key type your car was built with. From there, the crew cuts the blade and programs the chip. Then they test the door lock, ignition, and engine start.
If someone finds my lost key will it still start my car after you make a new one?
On many cars, no. Programming a new key often clears any key that isn't present. That means the lost key may stop starting your engine. Do you have a spare at home? Keep it handy so it stays in the car's memory. This matters most if your key went missing in a busy Atlanta lot.
What paperwork do I need to show for a new car key?
Bring your registration or title as proof of ownership. Car key work usually requires it. It helps keep strangers from getting keys made for your car. Is your registration locked inside the car? Tell us on the call so the crew can plan.
