A Closer Look at Transponder Key Programming
Today's vehicle keys and smart locks are miniature computers. A transponder key, remote fob, or push-to-start proximity key carries encrypted electronics that have to be registered to your specific vehicle or system before they'll work.

Our technicians carry professional diagnostic and programming equipment, so we cut and program keys and fobs on-site and confirm every function before we leave. When you've lost a key, we can also remove the missing one from the system so it can no longer be used.
