Lost your keys around the Sports Arena area, Midway Drive or Loma Portal? You are as close to our Rosecrans workshop as it gets. We come to the car and make a new key on site, or – if it can be driven – you can book a workshop visit.
From $170, all-inclusive · Arrival: typically 20–40 minutes during business hours
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.
A few vehicles need a part we order first – we tell you on the phone before we come out.

Every price includes the key, blade cutting, programming, testing, travel to you and tax. Tell us the year, make and model and we give you the exact price before we head out.

Not necessarily. Stopping a missing key from starting the engine does not change the door lock. Ask whether the locks should also be changed to work with a different key.
Yes, by appointment. Call (619) 535-8000 with your year, make and model so we can confirm parts and book a time. If the car can’t be driven, we come to it instead.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
