Most calls are about keys being locked inside and can be quickly resolved. We use special wedges, extenders and picks, so the door, its paint and weather strip stay intact. This is important for modern cars, whose doors contain all kinds of electronics.
Before calling, try the following: check all the handles and liftgate, as many vehicles lock the doors, but leave the liftgate unlocked. In case the car has an app from the manufacturer (like FordPass, MyChevrolet, the Toyota app or Hyundai Bluelink) which has been set up when purchasing the car, use it to unlock the doors from your smartphone. Don’t use a wire coat hanger, as it will most likely rip the weather strip and fail to engage the lock mechanism.
Contact us if the car is running, if keys are in the trunk, or if it is a rental or a company vehicle and it is impossible to damage it. In case there is a child or pet inside the vehicle in a hot summer day, call 911 first and then us.
Lost all the keys to the car? We can cut and program new keys at the car for most cars currently on the roads of Dallas: regular metal keys, transponder keys, keys with remote heads, flip keys, laser cut keys and push-to-start keys. We retrieve the key code from the VIN, cut the new key and program the chip to work with the car’s immobilizer.
In case you still have at least one key to your car, make a spare. A duplicate key will cost you much less than replacing all the keys to the car as we duplicate an existing key instead of deciphering the entire key code. Come to us with your existing key and we’ll cut and program a spare in just a few minutes.
There are two simple things to remember before ordering a replacement key. First, in case the remote stopped working suddenly, it is usually due to the battery dead. Fobs typically require CR2032 coin cell battery and they all come with a metal key inside in case the fob doesn’t work. Second, check the glove compartment of the car for a valet key or metal key-code tag. These two will save you both time and money.
We’ll help you out with any push-to-start car, any European make, or any car for which the last key to the car has been lost. You need programming equipment for them, not a hardware store copy.
Key doesn’t turn, turns but nothing happens, or key pops out when the engine is running is a sign of a bad ignition lock cylinder. Cylinder wears out due to constant abuse by heavy keyrings and worn out keys, and wafer mechanism gets misaligned. We repair or replace the ignition cylinder at your location and, if possible, key it to your existing key so you’ll have only one.
You can try the following if the key doesn’t turn: gently rock the steering wheel left and right while trying to turn the key. It is the most common reason why the key doesn’t turn. Ensure the gear shift lever is in Park position, and try using a spare key, as the worn key might jam the perfectly good ignition. Do not use pliers to force the key and don’t spray WD-40 into the lock, as it will only make it dirtier.
Call us in case the key broke off in the ignition, ignition spins freely without performing any functions, or dash stays dark when you turn the key. It is usually the ignition switch itself, not a lock, and we can diagnose the problem on-site.
Car rekey is a process of replacing the wafer mechanism in the door locks and ignition lock cylinder, and removing all existing keys from the immobilizer, so the lost key cannot start the engine. Both steps are important, as a fresh key alone won’t prevent the thief from entering the car through the door.
Rekey the car after having lost a key together with personal belongings, if you’ve just purchased a used car from a lot on Buckner or a private seller and don’t know how many keys exist to the car, and if the person who had the key shouldn’t have it anymore.
Stuck or locked out of the car on C.F. Hawn Freeway, I-30 and Jim Miller, or Loop 12 near Buckner? Move the car completely to the shoulder, put the hazard lights on, and stay behind the barrier or far from the road, not next to the driver’s door. Please call us with your nearest exit or cross street and we’ll come to you. Same goes for the Buckner and Lake June DART station parking lots, apartment parking lots on Bruton Road, and Crawford Memorial Park parking.
Pleasant Grove is our base, and we cover the entire ZIP: Lake June Road, Bruton Road, Elam Road, Umphress Road, Prairie Creek, St. Augustine Drive, Masters Drive and all neighborhoods from the Trinity Forest side out to Mesquite. We also cover Mesquite and Balch Springs.
Yes, for most cars. We need the VIN and proof that the car belongs to you, and we’ll cut and program the key on-site. Push-to-start and high-security keys take a bit more time.
Usually, and faster as well, since we work on-site and you don’t have to pay for the tow. Call us with your year, make and model and we’ll quote you.
No, it won’t. The tools we use are designed for the door, and the lock functions the same way afterwards.
