Key Fits But Car Won't Start

The key turns, the engine tries, but it won't fire. The transponder chip may have failed. We diagnose whether it's the chip, the immobilizer, or something else entirely.

Waiting days for a dealer appointment and arranging a tow? We cut and program the same transponder key with our mobile diagnostic lab—and come to you on your schedule instead of theirs.

Solving Key Fob & Transponder Programming Queries for New Castle

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.

Can you program transponder chip keys on-site? expand_more

Absolutely. Our technicians use high-end diagnostic equipment to program transponder chips and key fobs on-site. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership towing and provides a faster solution for modern vehicle security.

Can you clone my existing transponder key? expand_more

For many vehicles, yes. We can copy the chip data from your existing key to a new blank. For high-security vehicles, we may need to program through your car's computer. Either way, we'll have you covered.

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.

Should I get a spare car key made? expand_more

Definitely. Getting a spare now is a highly recommended safety measure compared to what you'll experience during an emergency lockout. Plus, programming a spare is simpler and more straightforward when you have a working key to reference.

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.

Transponder Key Services in Delaware & Pennsylvania

Need a chip key for your car? Skip the dealer wait. Kwikey Locksmith provides mobile transponder key cutting and programming throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia—as a convenient alternative to dealership scheduling. Professional service, at your location.

How Transponder Keys Work

Every time you insert your key and turn the ignition, a chip in the key sends a coded signal to your car's immobilizer system. If the signal doesn't match, the engine won't start. This excellent anti-theft feature also means you need proper programming—not just a key cut. That's what we do.

Don't Get Stranded Without a Transponder Spare

Operating with a single transponder key is risky. If you lose it, you're facing the 'all keys lost' process—programming from scratch takes longer. Get a spare now while cloning is simple and straightforward. We come to you and have it done professionally.
