Key Cutting & Programming

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.

Key Services We Offer

• Standard key cutting for mechanical keys
• Transponder key programming — chip keys that have to be matched to the immobilizer
• Proximity/smart fob programming — keyless entry and push-to-start systems
• Lost key replacement — even if you have no working key to copy from
• Spare key cutting and programming
• Key fob battery replacement and testing
• Immobilizer system diagnosis if a programmed key won't start the vehicle

When You Might Need This Service

• You lost your only key and the car is stranded
• Your key fob stopped working and the vehicle won't start or unlock
• You bought a used vehicle and want a spare key made
• Your key is damaged, worn, or the remote buttons stopped working
• You need a second key for a family member

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.
