Lost Car Keys - No Spare?

Losing your car keys when you don’t have a spare is stressful—and it can feel overwhelming fast. The good news is that in many cases, a new key can be created and programmed on-site, even if every key is lost.

We provide mobile car key replacement for lost-all-keys situations, handling everything from basic transponder keys to advanced push-to-start systems.

When there is no working key available, your vehicle’s security system must be accessed and evaluated before a replacement can be made. This typically involves:

• Identifying the vehicle’s immobilizer system
   
• Verifying key type (transponder, remote head, smart key)
   
• Determining whether programming can be completed through the diagnostic port or requires advanced access
   
• Creating and programming a new key to match your vehicle
   

Every vehicle is different, and no-spare situations always require diagnostic work before an exact solution and final pricing can be confirmed.

Lost-all-keys service is available for many makes and models, including:

• Traditional metal keys with transponders
   
• Remote-head keys
   
• Push-to-start and proximity keys
   
• Domestic, Asian, and select European vehicles
   

Some vehicles may require advanced programming, module access, or additional steps depending on year and system type.

Push-to-start systems are more complex than standard keyed ignitions. In no-spare situations, the vehicle may:

• Require security access before programming is allowed
   
• Lock out programming after previous failed attempts
   
• Need additional steps beyond basic key programming
   

This is why push-to-start lost-key jobs often fall under advanced programming and cannot be accurately quoted without first inspecting the vehicle.

There is no single flat price for replacing lost car keys without a spare. Cost depends on factors such as:

• Vehicle year, make, and model
   
• Key type and security system
   
• Whether programming can be done through the vehicle or requires advanced access
   
• Time and equipment required to complete the job
   

A diagnostic fee applies to no-spare situations and covers the time and expertise required to determine the correct solution.

When you contact us for lost car keys with no spare, the process is straightforward:

1. We gather basic vehicle information
    
2. We arrive on-site to perform diagnostics
    
3. We confirm what is required and provide a final price
    
4. If approved, we complete the key replacement
    

You’ll know what’s possible and what it will cost before any work continues beyond diagnosis.

If you’ve lost all keys to your vehicle and don’t have a spare, professional mobile service can often save time, towing costs, and dealership delays.
