Car Key Replacement FAQ

How much does it cost to get a new key for a car?

The price for car key replacement depends on the vehicle year, make, model, and key type. A simple metal key costs less than a key fob that needs programming. Contact our Bismarck location with your vehicle details so we can give you a clear estimate.

Can you make a replacement car key without the original?

In many cases we can. We often use vehicle information, and when needed the VIN and other approved sources, to create a new key. We also ask for proof of ownership to protect your security.

Is a locksmith a better choice than a big retail store for car keys?

Large retail stores can copy some basic keys but may not support chipped keys, key fobs, or lost key situations. As a locksmith, we handle more key types, can program many keys, and can still assist when the original key is missing or broken.

Can you replace keys for my truck or work van?

Yes. We help many tradespeople and business owners who use trucks and vans around Bismarck and nearby ND towns. We can replace lost keys, cut spare keys, and help you manage keys for several vehicles.

Can you make a key from the VIN number?

For many vehicles, we can use the VIN and other data, along with proof of ownership, to look up the information we need to create a working key. We then cut the key and program it if your vehicle requires that.

What should I do if my car key breaks in the ignition or door?

Do not force the key or try to pry it out. Contact us so we can remove the broken key piece safely. We can then cut a new key and check the ignition or lock for wear or damage.

How many spare car keys should I have?

We suggest at least one spare car key for most vehicles, and more for shared cars, trucks, or business units. A spare key can save you from an emergency lockout and help you stay on schedule during a busy day.

Do you help with emergency lockout situations?

Yes. During our service hours, we respond to emergency lockout calls. We unlock the vehicle and can then discuss spare key options so the same problem is less likely to happen again.

Do you serve areas outside Bismarck?

We serve drivers in Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, and many nearby ND communities. When you contact us, share your location and vehicle details, and we will explain how we can assist you.
