Transponder Keys & Remotes
Almost every single vehicle produced today comes with an immobilizer security system that acts as a second security measure separate from just the metal key. This system will only allow the car to start if the transponder chip in the key has been programmed to the car. Our technicians have the tools and training to generate these keys and program them into your vehicle.

Mechanical Keys
Cars made before 1997 generally do not have an immobilizer system and operate with just a metal key to turn the ignition and door locks. Even some vehicles made up to 2017 do not use transponder chips in their keys and just need that metal key to crank up the car. GM did use a VATS key starting in 1986 till the late nineties; but that’s another section. Our technicians are fully trained to make keys for these vehicles even when all keys have been lost.

VATS Keys
These keys have resistor chips in the ignition key and must match the resistance rating programmed into the car. These keys were used by GM on many of their models produced starting in 1986 on the Corvette all the way into the late nineties. If the resistance chip is incorrect in the ignition key, the car will not start. If there is damage to any of the connections or very thin wires, the car will not start. Our technicians are able to provide you with working keys with the right resistance chip for the vehicle.
