The chip key replacement process
What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for chip key replacement.
- Step 1
Tell us your vehicle and key
Give us the year, make, and model and whether you still have a working chip key. If you do, we can often clone it, which is faster and usually cheaper.
- Step 2
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith meets you with chip key blanks and the tools to clone or program to your car, so there is no ordering and no waiting.
- Step 3
We clone or program the chip
If you have a working key we clone the chip to a new blank. If not, we program a fresh chip to your immobilizer so the new key starts the engine.
- Step 4
We test and cut a spare
We confirm the new chip key unlocks and starts the car, give you a straight price, and can cut a spare on the spot while the equipment is out.
