Three kinds of car key, all made at the car
A plain blade key, common on cars and trucks built before the late 1990s, is cut to code from the door lock and works the moment it comes off the machine. A transponder key looks the same but carries a chip that the car has to recognize before it will start; we cut the blade and then program the chip through the diagnostic port. A smart fob for a push-to-start car has no blade on the outside and is programmed the same way, with the emergency blade inside cut to match the door.
The equipment on the van covers Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Mazda, Subaru and most other makes on Orlando roads. Tell the dispatcher the year, make and model and you will hear on the phone whether your key is a same-visit job.
All keys lost, rental cars, and the makes that push back
Losing every key is the call people dread, and it is a normal day for us. The technician reads the lock or pulls the key code from the VIN, cuts a blade, and programs the new key while the lost one is erased so it can never start the car again. You do not need a working key to begin. What you need is to be with the car and to have proof it is yours.
Rental cars are different. We open a rental for the renter with ID and the rental agreement, but a new key for a rental car needs the rental company's authorization, and the dispatcher will tell you that on the first call. Most companies would rather send a replacement vehicle than approve a key, so call them before us.
A few manufacturers restrict access to their key data. Some Mercedes-Benz and BMW models and newer Volkswagen and Audi model years require the dealer to order a key against the VIN, and we tell you that honestly on the phone rather than driving out and failing. For those cars we can still open the door, extract a broken key, or make a mechanical key for the door and trunk.
What to have ready when you call
The dispatcher needs the year, make and model, whether you have any working key at all, and exactly where the car is, down to the garage level if it is in one. The technician will ask for a photo ID and the registration or insurance card in your name. If the car is titled to a spouse or parent who is not there, a photo of the registration and a call from them is usually enough.
- Year, make and model, and whether it is push-to-start
- Photo ID plus registration or insurance card in your name
- The car's exact location, including garage name and level
- For a rental, the rental company's approval for a new key, arranged before we drive
By make
Your car's key, explained
Key types by model year, what programming each make needs, what a rental car needs, and the makes where the manufacturer restricts key data. Pick yours.
More makes are added every month. If yours is not listed, call: the dispatcher knows what your model year needs.

Reviews
What Orlando customers say
“Hussein is the best. Locked the key of a McLaren 720 in the frunk; he managed to open the door and then pop the frunk a little with some tools and grab the key. Saved absolutely everything, and it only took him 20 minutes to arrive on the scene.”
“Noah helped me get a new key fob for my 2025 Honda Civic after I lost my keys in a different state. After finding my lost keys he reprogrammed the old ones too, for free. Would recommend this mobile locksmith.”
“Noah was awesome. My key fob stopped working and he came right away. It was pouring rain and he came swiftly to replace my key. Very kind, professional and very fast. I would choose this company every single time.”

Questions we hear every day
Can a mobile locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. With no key at all, the technician cuts a new one from the door lock or the code tied to your VIN, then programs it at the car and erases the lost keys. You need to be with the car and show it is yours; nothing needs to be towed.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealership for a replacement key?
We do not print figures, but the difference usually comes from what the dealer cannot avoid: a tow or a trip in, a key that ships in days, and programming at their hourly rate. We come to the car with the blank on the van and quote one flat price for the whole job before we drive.
How long does a replacement car key take?
Most keys are cut and programmed within an hour of the technician arriving, and simple transponder keys often take much less. All-keys-lost jobs and some European makes run longer, and you hear an honest estimate on the phone rather than a guess on site.
Can you make a new key for my rental car?
Only with the rental company's authorization, which the dispatcher explains when you call. Most companies prefer to swap the vehicle. What we can do right away for a renter with ID and the rental agreement is open the car if the keys are locked inside.
