I locked my keys inside my car, so how will you get me back in without breaking anything?
We assess the lock and door type, then use non-destructive tools such as wedges, long-reach tools, or lock picks appropriate to the vehicle. If a latch or window access is available we use that first. We only resort to cutting or replacing hardware if the lock is damaged or non-serviceable, and we explain options before proceeding.
My car has power locks and an alarm, so can you unlock it without setting the alarm off or damaging the electronics?
We work on vehicles with power locks and alarm systems frequently. We start by identifying the lock mechanism and alarm arming method, then use electrical-safe techniques and manufacturer procedures so we don’t trigger or harm the system. If programming or module access is needed, we check vehicle specifics and follow safe service steps.
I lost my only car key and the car has a transponder, so can you make a new key on the spot and get it to start?
We can cut a new blank key and program transponder chips for many vehicles. Tell us the vehicle year, make, and model and confirm you have proof of ownership. We then match the blade, cut it, and program the transponder using diagnostic tools when the vehicle supports on-board programming or through the key programming process.
