Programming is the specialty
From an everyday transponder key to a modern proximity fob, we identify the system, confirm access and program the key where the vehicle is parked — when the vehicle is supported.
Check my vehicle →Chip keys cut and paired to supported immobilizer systems.
Replacement smart keys for supported keyless-entry vehicles.
Compatibility checked by year, model, part number and key status.
A new key can often be made and programmed without an original.
Add a tested backup before the last working key is lost.
Remove missing keys from vehicle memory when supported and authorized.
Send the part number, frequency, vehicle year, make and model before scheduling. Not every aftermarket or previously used fob can be programmed safely.

The more accurate the details, the faster we can confirm capability and next steps.
KEY ID
Identify which key your vehicle uses — it’s the first thing we’ll ask.
A metal-only key with no electronics. Common on older vehicles and some base trims.
Looks like a metal key but has a chip inside the plastic head that the vehicle must recognize to start.
A transponder key with lock/unlock buttons built into the head — one piece, key plus remote.
A separate remote for lock, unlock and sometimes trunk or panic, used alongside a key.
Stays in your pocket. The vehicle detects it nearby to unlock and start.
Works with vehicles that start via a button instead of turning a key.
The small metal blade hidden inside a smart key for manually opening the door.
This guide helps you identify your key so we can quote accurately. It is not a how-to.

NY City Key provides mobile service at eligible vehicle locations across our coverage area.
Service is not guaranteed to every address in every listed area — send your ZIP code for confirmation.
Honest pricing means explaining the variables, not hiding them behind a teaser number.
We do not advertise an artificially low price that ignores the vehicle and service requirements. When possible, we provide a written estimate or range before dispatch and explain what could change it.
Get a written estimate →Verification is a feature, not friction.
Before any key is cut, programmed or any vehicle is opened, we verify that the person requesting service is the owner or is authorized. This protects:
Do not upload ownership documents through the public quote form. The dispatch team will explain the secure verification process if service is scheduled.

Structured key service for companies that manage vehicles.

Straight answers. Every vehicle is different, so many answers are conditional by design.
Sometimes. The fob must match the vehicle's required part number, frequency, chip and region, and some used fobs cannot be reused. Send photos of the fob label plus the vehicle year, make and model before scheduling. We confirm compatibility first.
A weak fob battery is common, but damaged electronics, an incorrect fob, lost pairing, vehicle battery voltage or an immobilizer issue can cause the same message. We review the symptoms before recommending programming or replacement.
On supported vehicles, a lost or stolen key can often be removed from authorized vehicle memory after ownership verification. Physical door access may still need separate attention depending on the vehicle.
Often, yes. For many vehicles we can cut and program a key even when every key is lost. It depends on the year, make, model and key system — some vehicles require dealer or manufacturer access. Send your vehicle details and we’ll confirm.
For supported vehicles, yes — cutting and programming are done at your location with professional automotive equipment. Some key systems require manufacturer access that we confirm before dispatch.
Non-destructive entry is always the goal and is technically possible on most vehicles. The technician evaluates the safest method on site. We never guarantee a specific technique in advance.
Vehicle year, make, model, ZIP code, what happened with the key, whether you have a working key and whether the vehicle is push-to-start. Photos of your existing key help.
Verification happens before work begins. The dispatch team explains which documentation applies to your situation — typically ID plus proof such as registration or authorization. Never send documents through the public form.
No, and we won’t pretend to. We service many common makes; availability varies by year, model and key system. European and premium vehicles require confirmation first.
Many push-to-start and proximity key systems are supported. Confirmation depends on the specific vehicle — send the year, make and model.
It depends on the key technology, whether a working key exists, cutting type, programming needs and your location. When possible we give a written estimate or range before dispatch — see the pricing factors above.
Written warranty terms may apply depending on the approved service and parts supplied. Any applicable coverage, exclusions and review requirements are explained clearly.
Accepted payment methods are confirmed when your service is scheduled, before the technician is dispatched.
Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and select Long Island areas. Coverage depends on your ZIP code, technician availability and safe access to the vehicle.
On many vehicles, yes — lost-key deletion is possible when the vehicle supports it and ownership is verified. It’s a smart step after losing a key.
Yes. We support used-car dealers, repair shops, towing companies and fleets with documented, scheduled key service. Ask about a business account.
We operate scheduled dispatch hours rather than advertising round-the-clock service we can’t always staff. Send your vehicle details anytime and we’ll follow up as soon as dispatch reopens.
Yes — full service in English and Spanish, from first contact through the completed job.
We tell you honestly before you spend money. If your key system requires dealer or manufacturer-only access, we explain the situation and point you in the right direction.
Only with proper authorization from the rental company. Contact the rental agency first — many have their own roadside process — then we can review what’s possible.
Tell dispatch when you contact us. Verification is still required — the team will explain how it is completed in that situation before and after access.
Vehicle year, make, model, ZIP code, what happened with the key, whether you have a working key and whether it’s push-to-start. Add a photo of your key or fob if you have one.
