Why Arden Trusts Us for Car Key Replacement

Lost Your Only Key—Car Is Useless

No key means no driving. You can't even unlock it to get your registration out. The dealer wants a premium and says to tow it in. We come to you, create a new key from scratch, and get you driving professionally.

Only Have One Key and That Makes You Nervous

You've been meaning to get a spare for years. Every time you misplace that single key, you panic. Get a backup now while you still have one to copy—it's more convenient and practical than starting from zero.

Key Is Worn and Barely Works

You have to jiggle it just right, or it only works every third try. Worn keys damage ignitions. Get a fresh-cut key before that dying key completely fails.

Dealer Quoted You HOW MUCH?

Your local Honda/Toyota/Ford dealer wants a premium and can't see you until next week? We use the same professional equipment, charge significantly less, and come to you today.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Car Key Replacement

Are your replacement key fobs OEM or aftermarket? expand_more

We offer both options. OEM fobs are identical to what you'd get from the dealership. Aftermarket fobs are high-quality alternatives that provide a similar experience. Both work identically—we'll explain your options when we provide a transparent diagnostic quote.

Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more

Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.

Can you cut a car key using the VIN number? expand_more

Yes, our advanced mobile units can cut new car keys directly from the VIN number once ownership is verified. This specialized service is essential when all keys are lost and ensures a perfect factory-standard fit for your vehicle.

Do you work on older vehicles without computer chips? expand_more

Absolutely! We cut keys for all vehicles, from classic cars to modern ones. Older vehicles with simple keys are actually our most efficient jobs. We can often have you a new key professionally for vehicles from the 1990s and earlier.

My key fob isn't working. Is it just the battery? expand_more

Often yes! Key fob batteries typically last a few years. We can test and replace the battery on-site professionally. If the fob itself is damaged or needs reprogramming, we can handle that too without a trip to the dealer.

What areas do you serve? expand_more
