Prepare for Car Key or Fob Service
A few clear details help identify the appropriate path for a supported car key, fob, duplicate, or ignition-key concern.
- 01
Describe the key problem
Say whether a working key remains, the key is lost, the fob is malfunctioning, or a key broke in a lock or ignition. That distinguishes duplication, replacement, programming, extraction, or an ignition assessment.
- 02
Share vehicle and location details
When calling, provide the year, make, model, and exact location. Mention parking-structure or site-access limitations; compatibility and workable conditions are confirmed by phone.
- 03
Prepare authorization safely
Have identification and proof that you own or are authorized to service the vehicle ready to show in person. Do not send vehicle-access details or documents through public online forms.

Car Key Replacement FAQs
Call if your specific service request 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.
