Car Key Replacement FAQs
Call if your exact lock, key or vehicle situation is not covered below.
What information should I provide for a replacement car key?
Share the vehicle year, make, model, current location and whether you still have a working key. Have identification and proof of ownership or authorization ready.
Can a mobile locksmith program a key fob at my location?
Many supported vehicle keys and fobs can be cut or programmed with mobile equipment. Availability depends on the vehicle and key system, so call with the exact details first.
Can you help when every car key is lost?
MGM can assess all-keys-lost situations for supported vehicles. The process and required equipment differ from making a spare, so vehicle details are important.
Do you make spare car keys?
Spare-key service is available for many supported vehicles. Keeping a working key available can make duplication simpler than an all-keys-lost replacement.
