The vehicles most locksmiths turn away
Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Range Rover and Jaguar — the makes with the harder immobilizer and key systems, where a cheap key or the wrong tool ends with the car on a truck to the dealer. We cut and program them at your vehicle, on site, with the equipment it actually takes.

The jobs that end up at the dealer
A normal key takes minutes. These take the right tool, the right blank and someone who has done it before. We confirm what your vehicle needs before we set off, so you are not paying for guesswork.
All keys lost
Every key gone, including the last one? We read the vehicle, cut a key and program it to the car.
Push-to-start & keyless
Proximity fobs and push-to-start keys, cut and programmed so the vehicle starts and the buttons work.
Remote & fob replacement
A single dead or missing fob replaced and programmed — you do not have to buy two.
Immobilizer & module work
Where the key data lives in a module or the engine ECU, we read it on the bench and program the new key to it.
Key cutting on site
Blanks and a cutting machine travel in the van, so the key is cut where the vehicle is parked.
Before you buy a cheap key
A bargain key that cannot be programmed is money thrown away. We tell you what your vehicle actually needs first.
The makes we take on
These are the ranges we work in. Most are model dependent — send us the year, make and model and we confirm before we set off. Volvo is the exception: we are not limited by model there.
Newer than the ranges above, or a make we do not cover? We tell you straight on the phone rather than waste your time — and if it is a dealer job, we say so.
Real jobs, real vehicles
Photos from our own work — the vehicles themselves, the programming in the car, and the bench work behind it.
How it works
Send the details
Year, make and model — and how many keys you have left, even if the answer is none. A photo of the key or fob helps.
We confirm and quote
We tell you whether we can do it, what it needs and the price, before we set off. If it is a dealer-only job, we say so.
Programmed on site
We come to the vehicle, cut and program the key, and check everything works before we take payment.
What affects the price
The vehicle decides the job, not the clock. You get the number on the phone, before we set off, and it does not change when we arrive.
The vehicle
The make and model set the key blank, the security and the time. A 2008 Mercedes and a 2015 Range Rover are not the same job.
The details
Whether you have a spare key or none at all, whether the work needs the module or the ECU, and where the vehicle is.
Advanced key work across the Denver metro
We are mobile, so we come to you — in all of these cities, 7 days a week.
Other things we do at the same visit
Car lockout
Locked out instead of a key problem? We come and open the car without damage.
Before you call
My car has no keys at all — can you still do it?
In most cases yes. All keys lost is a normal job on the makes on this page: we read the vehicle, cut a key and program it. Send the year, make and model and we will confirm.
Why does this cost more than a normal key?
Because the vehicle is harder. The key data is protected, the programming takes longer and the equipment is expensive. You get the price before we start, and it does not change on arrival.
Can you program a key I bought myself?
Sometimes — it depends on the vehicle and where the key came from. Tell us first. A key that cannot be programmed cannot be returned, and that is the usual way people waste money.
Can you do push-to-start and keyless entry?
Yes, on the ranges listed above. The new fob is programmed to the vehicle so the buttons and the proximity start all work as they should.
How long does it take?
A standard replacement is usually done in one visit. All-keys-lost or module work can take longer depending on the vehicle — we tell you on the phone before you commit.
Do I have to bring the car somewhere?
No. Most of it is done at the vehicle. Where a module or ECU has to come out we do that work on the bench, then refit it.
Need a key for one of these vehicles?
Tell us the year, make and model — we confirm what it needs and the price before we set off.
