Lost Car Keys Replacement in Minneapolis
So you lost your car keys. Maybe they fell out of your pocket at the Twins game, or maybe they’re somewhere in your house and you just cant find them. Either way, you need to get to work tomorrow. What should you do if you lost your car keys?
First, don’t panic. You don’t always need to go to the dealership. In fact, most of the time we can make you new car keys fast on site. We carry the equipment and key blanks right in our van. For most vehicles, we can cut and program a new key in under an hour. This is of course only an estimate, but usually this is the time frame it takes. This includes keys for Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, and pretty much every make you can think of.
Lost car keys replacement is one of our most common services. We handle everything from basic metal keys to modern transponder keys and key fobs. The price depends on your car’s make, model, and year. Older cars are usually cheaper. Newer cars with fancy electronics cost a bit more, but we’re still way less expensive then the dealer.
Key Fob Replacement and Programming
Modern cars don’t just use regular keys anymore. Most vehicles made after 2010 use key fobs with buttons for locking, unlocking, and starting the car. When your key fob stops working or gets lost, you need someone who can handle key fob replacement, including the programming procedure. Without it, the car wont start.
We stock fobs for most popular brands and can program them to your vehicle on the spot. Key fob programming requires special equipment that reads your car’s computer. We have all the latest tools for coding car keys on site, including equipment for programming new keys and key fobs for European and Asian vehicles.
Here’s something most people don’t know: you can often get a spare key fob programmed before your original one dies. Making extra set of car keys now can save you hundreds of dollars later if you ever lose your main set of key. So we highly recommend doing that.
Emergency Automotive Lockout Service
Locked your keys in the car? It happens to the best of us so don’t be too hard on yourself.

Auto Ignition Repair and Replacement
Your ignition key wont turn? This is a pretty common problem, especially with older vehicles. Sometimes the ignition cylinder wears out. Sometimes the key itself is worn out. Either way, don’t try to force it as it may cause more problems.
Auto ignition repair and replacement is something we handle daily. We can diagnose whether the problem is your key, your ignition, or something else entirely. If you need a new ignition cylinder, we install it and program new keys to match. If its just a worn key, we can cut a fresh one that works. And yes, we can do all that on site.
Key Fob and Transponder Key Coding
Most cars built in the last 20 years have transponder chips in the keys. This chip talks to your car’s computer. If the chip isn’t programmed right, your car wont start even if the key turns in the ignition. Key fob and transponder key coding is technical work that requires the right equipment and tools like Advanced Diagnostic machine or MaxIM608.
We use professional-grade programmers that can read and write to your vehicle’s security system. This allows us to add new keys, delete old keys, and fix coding problems. Whether you drive a Toyota Camry, a Ford F-150, or a Volkswagen Jetta, we can handle the key programming.
Auto Key Replacement for All Makes and Models
Need a new key made for your car? We carry hundreds of key blanks and can cut most keys right at your location.
We work with all the major key brands like Ilco, Strattec, and OEM blanks when needed, just like the key you will get from the dealer.
Our auto key replacement service covers everything from basic car keys to high-security laser cut keys. Got a newer car with a sidewinder key? No problem. Need a replacement for an older vehicle with a standard key? We got those too.
Auto Key Extraction
Broken key stuck in your ignition or door lock? This is more common than you’d think. Keys break when they’re worn, when the lock is stiff, or when someone forces it. Auto key extraction requires careful work so we don’t damage your lock cylinder or ignition.
Our techs have special extraction tools made for this job. We can usually pull out the broken piece without drilling or replacing the lock. Once its out, we can cut you a new key on the spot. If the lock is damaged, we can repair or replace it too.
