Locked keys in the car

Car lockouts are the most common automotive call. A technician opens the door with lockout tools, not a slim jim through the window seal. Lockout service starts at $19.00 plus the $29.00 service call fee.

Have your ID and registration ready. The technician needs to see that the car is yours before opening it.

New keys and chips

Most cars built in the last twenty-odd years use a transponder chip in the key head. A key that is cut right but not programmed will turn the ignition and still not start the engine. New vehicle keys and programming each start at $100.00, and the final price depends on the key type and the programming the car needs.

When you call, have the year, make and model ready. If you have the VIN, even better.

Ignition trouble

A key that sticks, or an ignition that turns only sometimes, is a warning. Don't force it. A snapped key inside the cylinder turns a repair into an extraction plus a repair. Ignition change for any vehicle starts at $100.00.
