Modern vehicle security has moved far beyond the simple metal key. Today's cars rely on transponder chips, proximity fobs, and immobilizer systems that require specialized programming equipment to duplicate or replace. Losing your only car key or dealing with an ignition that will not turn can leave you stranded — and a dealership visit can mean days of waiting and hundreds in unnecessary costs.
