“I got a key done for a Ford Expedition there, and although they were having some trouble with the key, they managed to fix the issue and gave me a good price on a OEM Ford key. I would definitely recommend them.”

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a car key with no original to copy?
Yes. We originate keys by code from your VIN or by decoding the door lock, then program the chip to your vehicle. Bring a photo ID and proof of ownership such as registration or title.
How long does car key replacement take?
Most cars and trucks take 20 to 45 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Push-to-start and high-security vehicles can take a little longer.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealership?
Usually, yes — and we come to you, so you also avoid towing costs. You get an upfront quote by phone before we dispatch.
Where can I find cheap car key replacement near me in Houston?
Call us with your year, make and model. Cheap car key replacement in Houston starts with an honest upfront quote — mobile service, no towing fee and no dealership markup on the key or the programming.
Do you cut laser cut and chip keys, or only basic keys?
We do all three. Laser cut car keys, chip key replacement and transponder key duplicates in Houston are cut and coded in our mobile unit, so one visit covers high-security and older vehicles alike.
