What to do right now
- Check the usual places once more: pockets, bags, the last store, the ignition and the trunk.
- Leave the car where it is. No tow is needed, because we come to the car.
- Have the year, make and model ready, and the VIN if you can see it (lower corner of the windshield, driver side).
- Call or WhatsApp (956) 414-0903 and tell us where the car is.
Lost car keys in McAllen: we come to the car
Lost your car keys at work, in a store parking lot or at home? The car can stay where it is. A licensed mobile locksmith (Texas license B32324501) drives to the vehicle, cuts a new key to fit the locks and programs the chip or smart key to the car. If your model needs a dealer-only step, we tell you on the call, before anyone drives out.
Outside McAllen? We also come to Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, San Juan, Weslaco and the other cities listed below.
All keys lost vs. a spare key
With one working key, a spare is cut and programmed from it. With all keys lost there is nothing to copy, so the key is made for the vehicle and programmed to the car. It is a longer job than a spare, and it is the reason to make a spare once you have a key again.
How a new key is made with no original
A new blade is cut to fit the locks, and the chip or smart key is programmed to the car with a programming tool. Both are done at the vehicle when the car allows it. The key is tested in the door and the ignition before we leave.
For your protection, the person asking for the key should be able to show that the car is theirs (for example ID and registration or title). If a model needs a dealer-only step, we tell you on the call.

Which key did you lose?

- A remote head key, flip key or remote fob: see key fob programming.
- A push-to-start smart key: see smart key programming.
- A Ford, Chevy, Toyota or other make: see car keys by make.
Locked out but the key is inside the car? That is a different, quicker job: car lockout. Once you have a working key again, ask for a spare car key. Making one from a working key is simpler than another all-keys-lost job.
Common questions
What do I need to show if I lost all my keys?
Proof that the car is yours, such as your ID together with the registration or title. It protects you and the next owner of the car.
Is an all-keys-lost job different from a spare?
Yes. With no key to copy, the key is made for the vehicle and programmed to the car, so it takes longer than making a spare.
I lost a push-to-start smart key or a key fob. Can you replace it?
Yes, for most models. A new smart key or remote is programmed to the car at the vehicle. If your model needs a dealer-only step, we tell you on the call. See smart key programming and key fob programming.
