Common questions
How much will it cost — really?
You get a price range on the phone and a confirmed price before any work begins, in writing on the invoice. A flat $19 service call applies; lockouts typically run $45–$95, rekeys $20–$35 per cylinder, car keys $120–$420 depending on the vehicle. After-hours adds $25–$45, disclosed up front. The number we quote is the number you pay.
How fast can you get to me?
Our metro-wide average is about 25 minutes, often faster in central Austin and a little longer in the outer suburbs. We dispatch the nearest available van and text you the ETA so you’re not left wondering.
Can you make a key for my car if I lost all of them?
Usually, yes — at your car, no tow required. We cut and program transponder and smart keys for most makes and model years using dealer-grade equipment. We’ll confirm your vehicle on the phone and quote the price before we head out.
