When you have zero working keys and a stranded car
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You lost your only car key
Your car can't move without a key. We use your car's VIN to look up the original key code and create a brand new one from scratch, right where your car is parked.
The dealer wants $300–$800 plus a tow
Dealers require you to tow the car to them and wait days. We come to you, do the same work on-site, and you skip the tow bill entirely.
Your key was stolen and you need security
A stolen key means someone else can start your car. We make you a new key AND erase the stolen one from your car's memory so it can never be used again.
Your car is stranded somewhere inconvenient
Whether it's a grocery store parking lot or the side of the road, we come to you. No need to figure out how to get a car with no key to a shop.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Lost Your Only Car Key? We Come to You in Delaware
When you've lost every key to your car, the vehicle is completely stranded. You can't drive it to a dealer, and a tow truck adds hundreds to the bill. Kwikey Locksmith solves this by coming directly to your car - wherever it's parked - and creating a brand new key from scratch using your VIN and professional key-cutting equipment.
How We Make a Car Key With No Original
Every car has a unique key code tied to its VIN. We use professional tools to retrieve that code and cut a fresh key to the exact factory specifications. For modern cars with chip keys or smart fobs, we also program the new key to communicate with your car's computer so the engine will start.
Why This Costs Less Than the Dealer
Dealerships charge $300 to $800 for a replacement key, and that's before the tow truck fee to get your car there. Because we come to you and do the work on-site, you skip the tow entirely and pay competitive rates for the same result: a fully working key that starts your car, locks your doors, and opens your trunk.

Car Key Replacement FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Can you really make a key if I have no key at all?
Yes. We use your car's VIN number to look up the original key code from the manufacturer. From that, we cut and program a brand new key from scratch.
How much does it cost to replace a lost car key?
It depends on your car's make, model, and key type. Basic keys cost less; smart fobs and push-to-start keys cost more. Our specialist confirms the exact price on-site after diagnosing your vehicle, before any work starts.
How long does it take to make a new car key?
Most replacements take 30–60 minutes once we arrive at your car. The total time from your call depends on our current availability.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. That's the whole point - we come to wherever your car is. Home, work, parking lot, roadside. You don't move the car at all.
What do I need to have ready when you arrive?
Your ID and proof you own the car (registration, insurance card, or title). We verify ownership before making any key - it's a security requirement.
Lost your only car key?
Tell us your car's year, make, and model, plus where it's parked. We'll confirm we can service your vehicle and send a specialist to make your new key on the spot.
