Questions

Got questions?

Don't see yours here? Call. We answer 24/7.

Call 713-766-0021
How fast can you actually get to me?
For most of the Houston metro, we're at your location within 30 minutes — often faster during business hours. For emergency calls overnight or in outlying areas (The Woodlands, League City, Baytown), expect 30–60 minutes. We give you a real ETA on the phone, not a vague "soon."
Are you really open 24/7?
Yes. A real technician answers our line around the clock — including nights, weekends, and holidays. There's no "after-hours" voicemail, no callback queue, and no surcharge for late-night calls.
How long does the actual job take?
Once we arrive: most transponder keys in 10 minutes, standard remote fobs in 15, switchblade flip keys in 20, and high-end smart proximity fobs in 30. Some European luxury models with anti-theft resets can run 60–90 minutes — we'll always quote you an honest time before starting.
What if I lost every copy of my key?
Totally handled — this is one of our most common calls. We generate a fresh fob from your VIN, program it to your car on-site, and have you driving the same day. Bring your registration or proof of ownership.
Do you actually come to me, or do I have to drive in?
Either works. Walk-ins are welcome at our Houston shop, but for emergencies, lockouts, or anyone who can't drive without a working key — yes, we come to you. Our service trucks carry hundreds of fobs and full programming hardware, so we can do the entire job at your vehicle.
Is your hardware genuine OEM?
Yes — we use OEM-grade hardware that meets manufacturer specs and frequencies. Every fob, transponder, and remote we install is built to factory standards. If you specifically want a branded OEM fob (e.g., a Toyota stamped shell), we can source those too — just ask when you call.
What's your warranty?
Every fob, key, and programming job is backed by a full 1-year warranty against defects and programming issues. Something not working right? Bring it back — we'll fix it free.
