Professional Car Key Replacement Services in Los Angeles

Lost your car keys? Need a spare key? Have a broken or damaged key? At Ron Jump Start Services, we specialize in comprehensive car key replacement and duplication services for all makes and models. Whether you drive a 1990 classic car or a brand-new 2024 vehicle, we have the expertise, equipment, and experience to create the perfect key for your vehicle.

Why Have a Spare Key?

It's always a good idea to have a spare key in case your key breaks, gets damaged, or is lost. Having a spare key can save you time, money, and stress when you need it most. At Ron Jump Start Services, we can create spare keys for all types of vehicles, ensuring you're never left stranded due to key issues.

Types of Car Keys We Make

Modern vehicles use various types of keys, each with different features and security levels. We specialize in creating and programming all types of car keys:

Mechanical Keys

Mechanical keys are traditional keys that have been used in vehicles for decades. These keys are cut from metal blanks and work by physically turning the lock mechanism. While older vehicles primarily used mechanical keys, some modern vehicles still use them as backup keys or for basic entry.

We can duplicate mechanical keys quickly and affordably. If you have an existing key, we can create an exact copy. If you've lost all your keys, we can create new keys by decoding your vehicle's lock or using your vehicle identification number (VIN).

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys, also known as chip keys, contain a small electronic chip embedded in the key's plastic head. This chip communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system. When you insert the key and turn it, the chip sends a unique code to the vehicle's computer. If the code matches, the vehicle starts. If not, the vehicle won't start, even if the key physically fits the lock.

Transponder keys were introduced in the 1990s to reduce vehicle theft. Today, most vehicles use some form of transponder technology. We can program transponder keys for virtually all makes and models. Our technicians use professional programming equipment to ensure your new key works perfectly with your vehicle's security system.

Laser Cut Keys (High Security Keys)

Laser cut keys, also known as sidewinder keys or internal cut keys, are high-security keys with precision cuts on both sides of the key blade. These keys are cut using a laser, which allows for more precise and complex cuts than traditional key cutting methods.

Laser cut keys are more difficult to duplicate and provide enhanced security. They're commonly used in luxury vehicles and modern cars. We have the specialized equipment needed to cut and program laser cut keys for all compatible vehicles.

Remote Keys

Remote keys combine traditional key functionality with remote control features. These keys allow you to lock and unlock your vehicle, open the trunk, and sometimes start the vehicle remotely. Remote keys typically have buttons on the key fob that send signals to your vehicle's receiver.

We can program remote keys for all makes and models. Our technicians ensure that all remote functions work correctly, including lock, unlock, trunk release, and panic alarm features.

Keyless Entry FOBs

Keyless entry FOBs (Frequency Operated Buttons) are advanced remote control devices that allow keyless entry and sometimes keyless ignition. These devices use radio frequency signals to communicate with your vehicle. Some FOBs also include proximity sensors that automatically unlock your vehicle when you're nearby.

We can program and replace all types of keyless entry FOBs. Our technicians use professional programming equipment to ensure your FOB works correctly with your vehicle's security system.

Push-to-Start Smart Keys

Push-to-start smart keys are the most advanced key systems available. These keys use proximity sensors to detect when you're near your vehicle. You can unlock and start your vehicle without ever removing the key from your pocket or purse. Simply press the start button while the key is nearby, and your vehicle will start.

Smart keys are becoming standard in modern vehicles. We can program and replace smart keys for all compatible vehicles. Our technicians have experience with all major smart key systems and can ensure your new key works perfectly.

Our Key Replacement Process

When you need a car key replacement, here's what you can expect from our professional service:

  1. Initial Contact: Call us or visit our website to describe your situation. We'll gather information about your vehicle make, model, and year.
  2. Vehicle Identification: We'll need your vehicle identification number (VIN) or existing key to create the correct key for your vehicle.
  3. Key Selection: We'll determine the correct key type and blank needed for your vehicle.
  4. Key Cutting: Using professional key cutting equipment, we'll cut your new key to match your vehicle's lock.
  5. Programming (if needed): For transponder keys, remote keys, and smart keys, we'll program the key to work with your vehicle's security system.
  6. Testing: We'll test your new key to ensure it works correctly for all functions - entry, ignition, and remote features.
  7. Delivery: Your new key is ready to use immediately.

Lost All Your Keys?

If you've lost all your keys, don't panic. We can still help you. Here's what we need:

  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): This 17-character number is usually found on your vehicle's dashboard, driver's side door jamb, or vehicle registration documents.
  • Proof of Ownership: We'll need to verify that you own the vehicle. This can be done with your driver's license and vehicle registration or title.
  • Vehicle Information: Make, model, year, and any additional information about your vehicle's key system.

Once we have this information, we can create new keys for your vehicle, even if you don't have any existing keys. This process may take slightly longer and may require additional programming steps, but we can get you back on the road.

Key Duplication vs. Key Replacement

Understanding the difference between key duplication and key replacement can help you choose the right service:

Key Duplication

Key duplication is when you have an existing key and want to create a copy. This is typically faster and more affordable than replacement. We can duplicate most keys on-site, and you'll have your spare key in minutes.

Key Replacement

Key replacement is when you need a new key but don't have an existing key to copy. This requires decoding your vehicle's lock or using your VIN to create a new key. Replacement may also require additional programming steps, especially for modern keys with chips or remote functions.
