Today’s automotive locks are far advanced from just a few years ago. Manufacturers are developing more and better anti-theft systems to better protect the car buyer. Transponders are the most sophisticated devices being used. They prevent the car from starting unless the key is both mechanically correct and electronically correct. Basically, the car decides if the key is correct and then starts. These innovations have reduced car theft significantly but have driven up cost of replacement keys.

The Key Shop can duplicate most transponder, VATS, and PASS keys. We can also provide replacement remotes for most vehicles. Some manufacturers use proprietary technologies in their keys and are available only from authorized dealers. Give us a call and we can tell you over the phone if your key can be duplicated.

Aside from the sophisticated electronics, there are still mechanical locks on every vehicle. Over the years, the locks wear out or components break or keys are lost. The Key Shop can service or repair your automotive locks, usually without having to leave the car for an extended period.
