Lost Car Key Replacement in Los Angeles & Southern California

If your key will not turn or has broken off in the ignition, we handle that too — extracting the broken piece and repairing or replacing the ignition cylinder so you can drive again.

Modern car keys are small computers. A transponder key must be programmed to your vehicle's immobilizer, and a smart key must be paired for push-button start. We carry the equipment to program these to manufacturer specification, whether you have one working key or none at all.

Our Lost Car Key Replacement covers lost and spare car keys, transponder chip keys, remote key fobs, push-to-start smart/proximity keys, laser-cut (sidewinder) keys, broken key extraction, and ignition repair or replacement. We cut and program at your Los Angeles & Southern California location using professional automotive equipment, so most jobs are finished on the spot.

Together these inexpensive steps defeat the most common break-in methods.

It is also smart to keep a spare key with a trusted neighbor rather than under a mat, to service sticking locks before they fail, and to consider a keypad or smart lock so a lost key never becomes a lockout.
