Car key work at the vehicle

Sofia works with drivers who are locked out, have lost their only key or want a spare before the original is gone. Her automotive work includes transponder keys, remote fobs, smart keys and ignition cylinders.

Her van carries cutting and programming equipment, so supported replacement keys can be made at the parked vehicle. The vehicle's year, make, model and key technology determine what can be completed on site. Some models require dealer-only programming.

What happens before a new key works

A replacement car key needs more than a matching blade on many vehicles. These are the checks Cairn makes around an automotive key job.

  • Confirm vehicle details

    Dispatch asks for the year, make, model, key type and whether a working key remains, so vehicle support can be checked.

  • Verify vehicle ownership

    Photo ID and registration, title or insurance documents are checked before access or key work is authorized.

  • Approve the written charge

    The technician inspects the job and provides a written price for approval before cutting, programming or repairing anything.

  • Check the key in the vehicle

    The new key or fob is tested in the vehicle with the customer before the job is finished.
