How the request is evaluated
Nine services, organized around real situations
The service map follows what a driver is experiencing, not an equipment catalog. That makes it easier to choose a starting point and gives the technician better information before the visit.
Programming systems
Transponders, remotes and proximity keys may share a case but use distinct functions.
Access and ignition
Lockouts, broken keys and ignition symptoms require a mechanical safety check first.
Details that change the job
Choose the page that matches the problem—not just the key shape
Automotive key work overlaps, but the starting condition changes the safest route. A driver with one working key can usually provide a direct comparison; an all-keys-lost request needs identification and authorization before key generation; a lockout may require access only.
Use the service descriptions to narrow the request, then send the vehicle year, make, model, ZIP code and what the key currently does. Those details help separate mechanical cutting, electronic authorization, remote functions and vehicle access before a technician confirms the job.
- One working key remains
- No key remains
- Key, lock or ignition has a specific symptom
One problem, one clear page
Why the services are separated
A car lockout is not the same job as generating a key when every key is gone. Programming a remote is not automatically the same as repairing an ignition. Separate pages make the differences visible: what information is needed, what affects the work and what the customer should expect next.
If you are unsure, use the quote form. Describe the symptom in plain language. The intake is designed to route the request without forcing you to choose a technical term.

Frequently asked questions
Which service should I choose if my car says “key not detected”?
Start with key fob or transponder programming. Include whether the remote buttons work, whether the engine starts and whether another working key exists.
What if the key is inside the locked vehicle?
Choose car lockout service. Do not request a replacement key unless the existing key is missing or unusable after entry.
Can I request more than one service?
Yes. Explain the full situation in the message. A lockout, extraction and replacement can sometimes be related, but the work should be scoped before dispatch.
