Common questions
Car key cutting FAQ
Can you cut a key without the original?
For many supported vehicles, yes. An all-keys-lost job may require additional identification, decoding and programming.
Can you cut a key I purchased?
Possibly, but the blank must be correct and suitable. Contact us before purchasing or cutting a customer-supplied key.
Should I make a spare now?
A spare made while a working key is available can be simpler and less stressful than replacing every key later.
