Quick answers to the most common questions about automotive key services.
Absolutely. AutoKeyMaker specializes in originating new keys for vehicles where all keys have been lost or stolen. We can cut and program new keys on-site at your location — no towing required. Having your VIN number available when you call helps us provide an accurate quote and prepare for your specific vehicle.
Modern car keys contain electronic transponder chips that must be programmed to match your vehicle's immobilizer system. Unlike a simple mechanical key copy, creating a new transponder key requires specialized programming equipment and expertise. This is what separates an automotive locksmith from a hardware store key cutting booth.
We support 90% of the most commonly registered vehicles in Connecticut. This includes American brands (Ford, GM, Chrysler), Japanese brands (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Lexus, Acura, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi), and Korean brands (Hyundai, Kia). Call us with your year, make, and model for a quick confirmation.
When we originate new keys for a vehicle, the process often erases all previously programmed transponder codes from the vehicle's computer. This means older spare keys with programmed chips will no longer start the car — though they may still physically unlock doors. This is a security feature of modern immobilizer systems.
For Toyota and Lexus vehicles where all keys are lost, dealers often recommend replacing the entire ECU — an expensive and time-consuming process. AutoKeyMaker has the resources to reflash the onboard memory and rewrite it so new keys can be programmed on-site. No need to tow your vehicle or wait up to a week.
