We Handle All Key Types (Yes, Even Proximity/Smart Keys)
Modern vehicle keys may use electronic security systems.
We supply, cut, and calibrate the micro-chips required for:
Transponder Keys
Metal keys containing a carbon chip that “talks” to your ignition ring. The most common key type for vehicles made between 1997,2015.
Remote Head Keys (RHK)
The key blade and the lock/unlock clicker built into a single plastic head. Common in Toyota, GM, and Chrysler vehicles.
Proximity Fobs (Push-to-Start)
Keyless entry devices. You keep the fob in your pocket, press the brake, and touch the engine “Start” button. No blade inserted.
Ignition Repair vs. Fob Replacement
Sometimes the issue isn’t a lost fob. What if your metal key physically will not turn in the ignition? Or if your Push-to-Start button is unresponsive?
When an ignition cylinder jams, the internal brass “wafers” have warped or snapped off. Dealerships will usually tell you to replace the entire steering column assembly. Our technicians are trained to extract the ignition, disassemble the cylinder housing, and replace the broken wafers. This rebuilds your ignition internally, keeping your original keys working and saving you hundreds in major mechanical replacements.
