Which key do you have?
One of five: basic metal, chip, remote-head, flip or smart key. What's inside sets the job, not the look.
- Basic metal key. No chip. Just cut.
- Chip (transponder) key. The car reads the chip before it starts. A hardware store copy may open the door but won't start the car.
- Remote-head key. Blade, chip and lock buttons in one head.
- Flip key. The blade folds into the fob.
- Smart key. Stays in your pocket; you push a start button.

What sets the price of a car key?
The key type, and whether you still have a working key to copy.
- Key type. Metal, then chip, remote, flip and smart, from simplest to most work.
- Spare or all keys lost. Copying a key you have is the simplest job.
- Factory or aftermarket. Where both exist, you choose.
- Extra keys. A second key on the same visit costs much less.
Dealer or mobile locksmith?
Both make working keys. We come to the car, so there is no tow and no service-department wait.
| Dealer | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Their service department. No key often means a tow. | Where the car is parked. |
| The key | Factory key, sometimes ordered in. | Factory or aftermarket, your choice where both exist. |
| Newest systems | Programs its own brand. | Some still go to the dealer. We tell you when you contact us. |
Dealer only, for now: all keys lost on a 2015 or newer BMW or Mercedes, all keys lost on an MQB Volkswagen, any Tesla, and 2021 and newer GM trucks and SUVs that need GM online programming.
Which car makes do you program at the car?
Most makes sold in Memphis. Pick yours to see which key you likely have:
No key at all? See all keys lost. Just a fob? See key fob programming.
Should you get a spare car key now?
Yes, if you are down to one. A copy now is far simpler than an all-keys-lost job later.
Questions people ask
Can a hardware store copy my car key?
A basic metal key, usually yes. A chip key copy without programming opens the door but won't start the car.
Is an aftermarket key as good as a factory key?
It works the same with the car. The case and buttons may wear sooner, so where both exist you choose.
How much does a car key replacement cost?
It depends on the key type and whether you still have a working key. Send us the year, make, model and VIN, and we text back one all-in price.
Locksmith or dealer: which costs less?
It depends on the car. With no working key, the dealer adds a tow and a wait, so compare their all-in total with our text.
Where can I get a car key made today?
Where the car is parked. You get the price by text before anyone drives out, then your tech's name and arrival time.
