Automotive locksmith FAQ

Can you make a car key if I've lost every key?

It depends on the make, model and year of the vehicle. Call 703-646-9200 with those details and we'll tell you what's possible and what it will cost.

What is a transponder key?

A transponder key has a small chip in the head that talks to the car's immobiliser. The blade turns the lock, but the engine will only start when the chip is recognised, so the chip has to be cloned or programmed as well as the blade cut.

My key broke in the ignition. Can you get it out?

Yes. We extract broken keys from ignitions and door locks, then cut a replacement or repair the ignition if it was damaged.

What should I have ready when the technician arrives?

Your ID and proof that the vehicle is yours, such as the registration. We'll also need the make, model and year when you call.
