Losing a car key is stressful, especially when it is your only one. Locksmith Services is a mobile automotive locksmith, so instead of towing your vehicle to the dealership, we come to you anywhere in Billings, make a new key to your car, and program it on the spot. Most jobs are finished the same day.
Car Keys We Replace
- Transponder (chip) keys — a metal key with a chip your car must recognize before it will start.
- Remote head keys and flip keys — a key and remote built into one unit.
- Key fobs and push-to-start (smart) keys — for keyless, proximity vehicles.
- Standard mechanical keys — for older vehicles without a chip.
- Spare keys — a smart backup so you are never stuck again.
How Car Key Replacement Works
Here is what to expect when you call:
- We confirm the vehicle is yours and take the year, make, and model (and VIN if needed).
- We cut a new key to match your vehicle’s locks.
- We program the chip or fob to your car’s immobilizer so it starts and unlocks.
- We test everything with you before we leave.
No tow, and no waiting days for a dealership appointment.
Lost Your Only Car Key? We Can Still Help
Even if you have no working key at all, we can usually make one directly from the vehicle. Just call with your year, make, and model, and we will tell you what is possible and how long it will take, often the same day.
What Does Car Key Replacement Cost in Billings?
The price depends on the type of key your vehicle uses. A basic mechanical key is the least expensive, while transponder keys, remote flip keys, and push-to-start fobs cost more because they have to be programmed to your car. We give you a free quote up front and confirm the price before any work begins. Because we are local and mobile, our pricing is typically well below the dealership.
Makes and Models We Work With
We make and program keys for most domestic and import vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ram, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru, among many others. Not sure about yours? Call with the year, make, and model and we will confirm right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a car key if I lost all of mine?
Yes. In most cases we can make and program a new key directly from your vehicle, even if you have no working key left.
How long does car key replacement take?
Many keys are cut and programmed in under an hour on site. Smart fobs and certain makes can take a little longer, and we give you a time estimate when you call.
Is it cheaper than going to the dealership?
Usually, yes. We come to you and skip the tow and the dealer markup, so most drivers pay less and get back on the road faster.
Do you program key fobs and push-to-start keys?
Yes. We replace and program remote key fobs and proximity, push-to-start smart keys for most vehicles. If your remote only needs a battery or a reprogram rather than a whole new key, see our key fob replacement page.
What do I need to prove the car is mine?
We check ownership for your security, so please have your photo ID and your vehicle registration or title handy.
