General Locksmith Questions
Q: What areas do you service?
We’re based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and proudly serve Sioux Falls and surrounding areas including Tea, Harrisburg, and Brandon.
Our mobile service allows us to come directly to you — at home, work, or roadside.
Q: What types of vehicles do you work on?
We service most cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, both domestic and foreign.
This includes brands like Ford, GM, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Audi, and more.
Q: Do you make keys for push-to-start or smart key vehicles?
Yes. We specialize in modern key systems, including smart keys, proximity fobs, and push-to-start vehicles.
All keys are programmed using professional diagnostic equipment — just like the dealership, but faster and more affordable.

We’re a fully mobile locksmith service — we come to you!
Whether you’re locked out, need a spare key, or want a remote programmed, we’ll meet you wherever your vehicle is located.
Services & Pricing
Q: How much does it cost to make a new car key?
Prices vary by vehicle make, model, and key type (standard, remote, or smart key).
Most standard keys range from $150–$250, while smart keys or proximity remotes can range $250–$450.
For an exact quote, contact us with your vehicle’s year, make, and model.
Q: Can you unlock my car if I lost my keys?
Yes — our emergency lockout service can safely unlock your vehicle without damage.
We’re available for urgent calls and can get you back on the road quickly.
Q: Do you install or program remote start systems?
Yes, we install and program remote start systems for many vehicles.
We also carry Arctic Start and DroneMobile kits with app-based control options.
Each system is installed professionally to ensure reliability and warranty coverage.
Q: Do you offer same-day service?
In most cases, yes.
We do our best to offer same-day or next-day appointments depending on your location and service type.
Emergency lockouts are treated as priority calls.
Keys, Remotes, & Warranty
Q: Are your keys and remotes OEM or aftermarket?
We offer both OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and high-quality aftermarket options — all tested and guaranteed to work.
We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget and vehicle type.
Q: What if my new key or remote stops working?
Every key or remote comes with a 30-day limited warranty that covers defects or non-functioning electronics.
If something isn’t working properly, contact us within 30 days — we’ll inspect it and replace it if needed.
Q: Can you reprogram a used key fob?
In some cases, yes — but it depends on your vehicle.
Many newer vehicles require brand-new remotes due to anti-theft systems that lock out used keys.
We’ll check your vehicle’s compatibility before you purchase.
Orders, Shipping, & Returns
Q: How long does shipping take for online orders?
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days and shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
Most packages arrive within 3–7 business days, depending on your location.
Q: Can I return a key or remote after purchase?
Only unused, uncut, and unprogrammed items can be returned within 14 days of delivery.
See our full Return & Warranty Policy for details.
Q: Do you offer refunds for locksmith services?
Service work (such as programming, cutting, or installations) is non-refundable once completed,
but we’ll always stand behind our workmanship — if something isn’t right, we’ll make it right.

Q: How do I schedule an appointment?
You can easily book an appointment through our Contact Page or call us directly.
Provide your vehicle make, model, and service needed — and we’ll confirm your time.
