Steps to Take when You Lose Your Car Keys

Gather Essential Information

To ensure the legality of the replacement process, our locksmiths will require specific details about you and your car. You’ll need to provide information like:

vehicle’s make and model
vehicle identification number
registration number
personal identification
and your address to verify ownership.

If you’re locked out of your vehicle and need emergency services, provide your current location as well.

Identify Key Type

Cars come with different types of keys: remote and non-remote or transponder.

The replacement method will depend on your key type. Options range from a Remote Fob with a Key, a Remote Entry Fob with an Integrated Key, and Remote Keyless System Fobs to Transponder or Non-Remote Keys.

Specify your key type when you call for service.

Replacement Costs

The cost of replacing car keys varies based on factors such as vehicle model, immobilizer system, key type, and whether you require emergency services.

Generally, in Orange County and surrounding areas, you can expect the price to range from $150 to $500. We are always transparent with our quotes and ensure there are no hidden costs.

What To Do When You Don't Have a Spare Key?

Losing the only key to your vehicle is no cause for panic. Our experts can unlock your car and provide replacement keys programmed to work with your vehicle. We can also erase the old key from the system, thus negating the risk of auto theft.

How Long Does It Take Getting a Spare Key Set?

The time required to get a spare key set depends on the type of key, car model, and availability of the key blank. In most cases, we can provide replacement keys on the same day. The average time to make a car key on-site is approximately 30 minutes.

Can You Remove My Old Key From Car System?

Unlike residential locks, vehicle locking systems do not need to be replaced entirely to keep your vehicle safe from theft. We can reconfigure the vehicle’s locking program or deprogram missing keys, effectively removing them from the car’s system.

Additionally, if your car keys get stolen, we can erase your stolen keys from the system or reconfigure the car’s locks and ignition, ensuring no unauthorized person can access your vehicle.

Is The Replacement Covered By Insurance?

While some insurers may cover lost or stolen car keys through an upgrade or add-on package, it’s advisable to read your policy documents for precise information.

What Types of Vehicle Keys a Locksmith Can Replace?

Our locksmiths can replace keys for a wide range of vehicles, from motorcycles and vans to trucks and different kinds of cars.

We can replace keys for various manufacturers like Honda, Ford, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Dodge, and more. We provide mobile locksmith services in Orange County and surrounding areas, eliminating the need for you to visit us.
