No working key left? Ask about making and programming a replacement at the vehicle.
Replacing every lost key involves identifying the right part, cutting any required blade, and checking the vehicle’s programming requirements. Tell us if the keys were stolen so we can discuss whether missing electronic keys can be removed from memory.
Some vehicles require manufacturer-specific equipment, parts, or dealer involvement. Confirm support before arranging a visit.

Imperial Beach includes the beachfront and the Tijuana River estuary area. Use the vehicle’s street address or parking entrance as the meeting point, rather than a location along a walking path.
If a beach visit left a fob wet or damaged, bring it to the appointment along with any spare. For a rental vehicle, contact the rental company about authorization before arranging key work.

Contact the rental company first to establish authorization and its preferred process. When calling us, explain that it is a rental and provide the vehicle details and the parking location.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
