Our Process: How Key Programming Works
Step 1: Contact & Diagnosis
Call or text us at (281) 755-9822. Provide your vehicle year, make, model, and VIN. Let us know your situation (lost keys, need spare, broken key, etc.). We’ll provide an upfront quote over the phone.

Choose mobile service (we come to you) or drop-off at our Pearland location. Emergency service available 24/7 with average 20-30 minute response time.
Step 3: On-Site Programming
We arrive with all necessary equipment. Our technician connects professional diagnostic tools to your vehicle’s OBD-II port and/or directly to control modules. We extract security data, generate new keys, and program your vehicle’s immobilizer system.
