Car Keys Cut and Programmed at Your Convenience!
Losing your car keys can seem like a nightmare situation to most people. Often times people think that the only place to get new car keys made is at the dealership. Most car dealers train their service department employees to tell their customers that only the dealer can cut and program keys to their cars. This is simply not the case!
That’s where Prime Locksmith Mobile Service comes in. We stock and supply car keys, remotes, remote head keys, and smart keys to most vehicles on the road today! Our technicians are always out on the road, ready to come to your vehicles location so you don’t have to pay an extra expense for a tow. We also carry state of the art key machines and key programmers to allow us to cut standard or high security keys. These also allow us to program newer vehicles with the latest car key programming software. When all car keys are lost, our technicians are able to decode the vehicle’s locks, or in some cases run the vehicles VIN number to retrieve the vehicle’s factory key cuts.
Spare Car Keys
Often times it is much cheaper to have a spare car key made, rather than waiting until you’ve lost your only key. We keep keys in stock to most vehicle’s on the road today and are often much cheaper than getting a key made at the dealer. We also provide a 1 year warranty on our keys, and do not settle for cheap ebay knockoffs that fail after a week or two.
Ignition/Door Lock – Repair/Replacement Service
Honda Ignitions removed repaired and reinstalled (very common issue)
Certain vehicles are highly prone to ignition lock cylinder failure due to flaws in engineering. When you call us up and explain your vehicles issue, there’s a pretty good chance it is actually a common problem for your vehicle type. Probably something we have fixed several times over the years (we repair about 50 Honda ignitions per year). Depending on your vehicle, we will be able to provide you with a proper solution over the phone, as well as offer a price and time quote. If it is not a common issue, sometimes we will offer a small range in price depending on the cause and solution of the problem to be discovered on site.
Here’s a short list of the most common vehicles with ignition lock cylinder issues in our experience:
- Honda models 2003 and up (high security sidewinder keys, we repair ignition and provide new car keys)
- Ford Focus 2000-2005 (Generally requires new ignition lock cylinder)
- Late 90’s/early 00’s Toyota models (sometimes just needs new factory key cut, sometimes needs ignition repaired/changed)
Vehicle Lockout Service
Call now for emergency service! (617) 238-1371
Our car locksmith‘s can open any vehicle including many luxury vehicles that require some skill, knowledge, and specialized tools to open. If your keys are locked in the trunk for example, most cars won’t allow you to retrieve them using basic car lockout tools, such as tools a tow company might carry. Opening the vehicle with these tools might set off the vehicle’s alarm, in turn disabling the trunk release. Prime Locksmith Mobile Service can open your vehicle’s trunk using specialty tools designed to pick the lock, tricking the vehicle’s alarm system into thinking a key was used to open the door, which in turn will disable the alarm and allow the trunk to be opened. There is no need to fret if you have hired another company to open your locked vehicle and they could not complete the task. Let our experts handle the situation so you can focus on your tasks ahead.
When we do have to use basic lockout tools, we only carry laminated tools that are designed to leave no damage to the vehicle when opened. We are also fully insured just in case, although we have never once damaged a vehicle since we started our business in 2013.
Eeprom / Eprom and Reflashing
Certain vehicles (mostly early toyota/lexus transponder systems) require the vehicles computer, known as the ECU, to be replaced or “reflashed” in order to program new keys to the vehicle in lost key situations. This is because the vehicle engineers did not focus on lost key situations, especially when transponder systems were new to certain makes, and they did not allow access to the immobilizer via OBDII port. A new ECU could easily cost between $1000-3000 installed depending on the vehicle. This is the only way that the dealer knows how to provide keys for older Toyota and Lexus vehicles when all of the keys are lost to the car. We provide a service known as ECU reflashing which allows us to remove the vehicle’s current computer, open it up, connect a specialized tool to the EEPROM device, and reset the immobilizer. This service is more expensive than a regular lost key situation, however it saves several hundreds, if not thousands, over the dealer’s price of replacing the computer.
