Car Key Replacement
Skip the dealership. Ray comes to you anywhere in Greater Boston — with dealer-grade equipment and transparent pricing.
A dealership will charge you 2–3 times more for a replacement car key — and require you to tow the vehicle in first. Ray comes directly to your location, whether you're stranded in a parking lot in Back Bay or locked out of your driveway in Newton. With professional key-cutting equipment and OBD programming tools on the van, most replacements are completed in under an hour.
Transponder Key Programming
Every car manufactured after the mid-1990s uses a transponder chip embedded in the key head. Without a programmed chip, the engine immobilizer will refuse to start the vehicle even if the key turns the ignition. We carry professional-grade programming tools compatible with the major domestic and import brands on Boston roads — Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and more. We cut the key blade and program the chip on-site so you drive away the same day.
Smart Key Fob Replacement
Proximity fobs and push-to-start systems have become standard across nearly every vehicle segment. Losing one doesn't mean a trip to the dealership and a multi-day wait. We source quality replacement fob shells and remotes, then program them to your vehicle's specific immobilizer frequency on the spot. Remote start, trunk release, and keyless entry functions are all tested before we leave.
Emergency Key Cutting — Lost All Keys
Lost every key to the vehicle? We can generate a working replacement from scratch using your VIN. After verifying ownership, we use the VIN to pull the factory key code, cut a new blade to spec, and program a fresh transponder chip. No towing required. This is the same process the dealer uses — we just do it at your location instead of theirs.
High-Security & Laser-Cut Keys
European vehicles and many luxury brands use high-security laser-cut keys — also called sidewinder or internal-cut keys — that require specialized cutting equipment. These keys have a distinctive winding groove cut along the side rather than the standard edge, and they pair with advanced immobilizer systems. We work with these formats for common models on Boston roads including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen.
