Most cars built since the late 1990s use a chip in the key that talks to the car, and many newer ones use push-to-start smart keys. If the key is not programmed correctly, it may open the door but the engine will not start. We program them at your location.
What’s included
- Smart keys for push-button start
- Transponder chip key programming
- Programming of additional spares
- New keys when all keys are lost
- Testing of every key before we leave
What to expect
Smart key programming requires diagnostic equipment and the right software for each vehicle. We carry both, so you do not need to bring the car to a shop.
We always test the key by starting the engine and operating every lock before we consider the job done.

Smart Key Programming FAQs
How do I know if my key has a chip?
If your car is from the late 1990s or newer and the key has a thick plastic head, it likely has a transponder chip.
Can you program keys for my brand?
We cover most major makes. Tell us the make, model and year when you call.
Can you add a spare key?
Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is the cheapest way to do it.
