Types of Car Keys We Replace

Car keys have gotten more complicated over the years. The simple metal key is rare on newer models. Here’s what we work with:

• Standard metal keys — the traditional cut key, still used on some older vehicles. Quick and inexpensive to replace.
• Transponder chip keys — these have a small electronic chip inside the key head. The car won’t start unless the chip signal matches. We cut the key and program the chip on site.
• Key fobs and remotes — remote entry fobs that lock, unlock, and sometimes start your car. We program replacement fobs for most makes.
• Smart keys (proximity keys) — the ones you keep in your pocket. The car detects the key when you’re nearby. These require specialized programming equipment, which we carry in our vans.
• Switchblade keys — the flip-out style keys popular with Volkswagen, Honda, and others. We supply and program these as well.

Our Car Key Replacement Process

1. Call (440) 298-4800 and tell us your car’s year, make, and model. This helps us make sure we have the right key blank and equipment before we head out.
2. We come to you — your driveway, a parking lot, your workplace, wherever the car is. Our mobile van has everything we need.
3. Key cutting and programming — we cut the new key to match your vehicle’s locks and program the transponder or smart key system so the car recognizes it.
4. Testing — we test the new key in the door, trunk, and ignition to make sure everything works perfectly before we leave.

Car Key Replacement vs. Dealership — What’s the Difference?

A lot of people assume they have to go back to the dealer for a replacement car key. And sure, the dealer can do it — but the experience isn’t always great. Here’s how we compare:

• Speed: Dealers often need 3-7 business days to order keys. We can usually have you a new key within an hour.
• Cost: Dealerships charge a premium, sometimes $200-$500+ for a key and programming. Our prices are typically 30-50% less.
• Convenience: No towing your car to the dealer. We come to you, anywhere in Beachwood.
• Availability: Dealers close evenings and weekends. We work around the clock, every day of the year.
