Car Key Replacement & Programming in Minneapolis
Lost car keys cut and programmed on-site — transponder keys, remote fobs, and proximity keys for most makes.
Losing your only car key used to mean a tow to the dealership and days of waiting. Our mobile technicians cut and program replacement keys at your location in Minneapolis for most makes and models — often the same day you call, and typically for less than dealer pricing.
Key services
- Transponder chip keys cut and programmed to your vehicle
- Remote fobs and push-to-start proximity keys replaced and paired
- Spare keys made from a working original while you wait
- Worn or broken keys duplicated from the door lock code when no key exists
Bring your ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration, and we handle the rest. If you still have one working key, getting a spare made now is far cheaper than replacing a lost set later — something we remind every MN driver we meet.

Car Key Replacement & Programming — Common Questions
My lock freezes solid every Minneapolis January — is there a permanent fix?
Often, yes. Moisture inside the cylinder is what freezes, so we clean out old grease, re-lubricate with a low-temperature graphite-based product, and check the weatherstripping that lets damp air reach the lock. For chronic offenders we install cylinders that tolerate hard freezes far better.
Can you service the original mortise locks in our 1920s Longfellow bungalow?
That is a specialty of ours — much of south Minneapolis housing stock still runs on original mortise hardware. We can rebuild and rekey the existing lockset to preserve the vintage look, or fit a modern deadbolt above it for real security without butchering the door.
Do you take lockout calls in St. Paul and the first-ring suburbs too?
We do. Beyond Minneapolis proper we regularly run calls to St. Paul, Richfield, Edina, and St. Louis Park along I-94, I-35W, and Highway 100. Winter weather can stretch drive times, so we quote an honest ETA that accounts for road conditions.
