Car locksmith services in Milwaukee
Car keys made at your car
Most car keys today carry a chip, a remote, or both, and the car has to learn each new key before it will start. We do that where the car is parked: in a driveway, a parking lot, or on the street. We cut the key on our machine, program it to the car through the diagnostic port with professional tools, and test that it starts the engine and works the locks. There is no tow and no wait for an appointment. Most car lockouts take a few minutes once we reach the car, and most new keys take 15 to 60 minutes.
Dealer or locksmith
Is it cheaper than the dealer? Yes. We come to the car, so there is no tow and no appointment, and the key is cut and programmed on site. The dealer usually needs the car at the service department, and when every key is lost, that means a tow first. For Mercedes-Benz, we make keys for models through the 2014 model year; keys for 2015 and newer Mercedes-Benz models come from the dealer.
Cars we work on in Milwaukee
We work with Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, and other common makes, from older chip keys to push-to-start smart keys. Pickups and work vans are a big part of the work around Milwaukee, from contractors in the suburbs to delivery fleets in the city. Tell us the year, make, and model, and we will tell you which key your car uses. Each make has its own rules for keys; see car keys by make.
Documents for car work
Before we open a car or make a key, we ask for a photo ID and the title or the registration in your name. If the registration is inside the locked car, you show it to us once the door is open. For a company or a rental car, a letter from the company or the rental agreement works. These documents keep anyone else from getting a key to your car.
