Lost every key to your car? We rebuild access from the VIN
A lost key is not the same job as a spare. With nothing to copy, the vehicle has to be re-taught which key it trusts — and that requires security access, not just a blank. We are equipped for exactly that scenario, day or night.
About lost car keys in Austin
Keys vanish at Zilker Park, on Lady Bird Lake trails, at Rainey Street bars and in Barton Creek Square parking garages. Our dispatchers ask three questions — year, make, model — and immediately know whether your vehicle needs a mechanical key, a transponder, a rolling-code remote head or a full proximity fob.
Because a lost key may be in someone else's pocket, we treat every all-keys-lost job as a security event. After the new key is coded we run a memory wipe that invalidates every previously paired key. Anyone who finds the old one is holding a piece of scrap metal.
We also handle the awkward cases: keys dropped in the lake, keys locked inside a running vehicle, keys shredded by a garbage truck, and rental or fleet vehicles where the ownership paperwork sits with a company office. Tell us the situation and we will tell you exactly what documentation we need.

Lost Car Keys questions, answered
Do I need to tow my car anywhere?
No. Everything happens where the vehicle sits — driveway, garage, office lot or roadside.
What if my key is lost but the car is locked?
We open the door first at no additional lockout charge when it is part of a lost-key job, then cut the new key.
Will my old key still work afterwards?
No — and that is intentional. Erasing it is the only way to protect your vehicle.
