Key Cutting & Programming — Done In-House, Done Right
Modern vehicle keys aren't just metal — they're programmable transponders, proximity fobs, and push-to-start remotes that have to be matched to your specific vehicle. Getting a new key made at a hardware store won't start your car. You need a licensed facility with the right equipment.
Auto Tech Services is a licensed locksmith facility. We cut keys and program transponder chips and proximity fobs for most makes and models — all in-house. No waiting for a dealership appointment or paying dealership prices.

- Standard key cutting for mechanical keys
- Transponder key programming — chip keys that have to be matched to the immobilizer

Why Come to Us Instead of the Dealership?
Dealerships often charge significantly more for key programming and may require days-long waits for an appointment. We can typically handle key cutting and programming the same day. We use professional automotive locksmith equipment that communicates directly with your vehicle's security system — the same way a dealer would, without the dealer markup.
Call ahead if you've lost your only key so we can confirm compatibility for your specific year, make, and model before you come in.
