We also serve nearby communities including Sharon Hill, Clifton Heights, Aldan, Glenolden and Colwyn.

Calls are handled by phone first so we can agree a price before any work begins.

Keep your location details ready when you call to help the technician find you quickly.
Car key replacement covers a range of situations from fully lost keys to damaged or non-functioning key fobs. Many modern vehicles use a combination of a cut mechanical key and a programmed transponder chip; both parts must match the vehicle’s onboard systems to start and secure the car. When you call, we’ll ask for the car make, model year, and what keys you still have, if any. That information helps determine whether a simple cut will do or if a new transponder or remote fob must be programmed. On-site programming is often required for newer vehicles and is performed with equipment that communicates with the vehicle’s security module. If a key needs to be cut, we use blanks that match the vehicle’s original specifications rather than improvising. For cars with only an electronic fob, we supply and program a replacement fob and then check all remote functions such as lock, unlock, and panic if applicable. If your vehicle uses ignition or door locks that have been physically damaged, we can also advise on whether a new lock cylinder or alternate entry method is necessary. Before any work starts we confirm the approach and give the price over the phone so there are no surprises at the scene.
What affects the cost
Several factors affect the final cost, including the type of key and the vehicle’s security requirements. Pricing is quoted on the phone before work starts so you know the charge before a technician begins.
- Vehicle make and model
- Type of key or fob
- Need for on-site programming
- Number of replacement keys
- Condition of original locks
Worth knowing before you call
Start by calling (302) 551-2550 and describing the exact problem and what keys you still have. If you can find the vehicle registration or title quickly, bring it to the scene because technicians will ask to confirm ownership before making new keys. Do not try to force a broken key out of the ignition without the right tools; that often makes extraction more difficult and can damage the ignition. If your key fob is intermittent, test the mechanical key functions separately to see whether the issue is the battery or the transponder; a dead fob battery looks different from a transponder failure. Remember that modern replacements often require programming that cannot be done without on-site access to the vehicle’s systems. When a key has been stolen, consider replacing or rekeying locks and reprogramming keys so lost or stolen fobs no longer work. Finally, keep a spare key in a secure place to reduce the chance of future lockouts, and note that we can provide spares on-site during the same visit if you ask.
