Doesn't matter if you're near Fairview, clear out beyond Table Rock, off Eagle Road, etc.

Lost Or Broken Car Keys? We'll Put A New One On Site
Maybe you misplaced your only key, broke it off or need a spare and the dealership is telling you 3 days out. Every week we get calls from folks all around Boise, Meridian, Eagle and the rest of the valley. Honestly we take care of most of it just where the vehicle sits, same day, no tow required.
Not all car keys are made the same, which is what trips folks up. A typical metal key is one thing. A transponder key or chip key has an electrical component that needs to be programmed for your particular vehicle, not only cut to shape. Laser cut keys are a totally new way of cutting. Remote head keys merge the actual key and the fob into 1 item. We bring all this equipment on site.
If we cut or program anything we do, we check ownership first. This is never waived, it is common practice and it protects you as much as it protects anyone else. Have your ID and registration ready and the whole thing goes fast. That's all there is to it.
Car Lockouts in Boise? We’ve got your back
Everyone does it at some point. Keys on the seat, door already closed. And you are standing in a parking spot off Fairview Ave or Eagle Road not sure what to do next. We come to you anywhere in the Boise metro, day or night, and get you back in your vehicle fast. In the case of emergency lockouts, dial (208) 343-5625 at any time and see our 24 Hour Emergency Locksmith page for full instructions.
Need a Key Cut With No Original? We Do That Too
Lost every copy of your key and have nothing to work from, that is what code cutting is for. We pull the key code from your vehicle's VIN or factory records and cut a new key from that, no original needed. It is not something every locksmith can do but it is a regular part of what we handle across the Treasure Valley.
Works for most makes and models and the whole thing gets done on-site wherever your vehicle is sitting.

All Makes & Models, From F-150’s to Subarus
There are a lot of trucks out here in Idaho and we see a lot of them. We work on Ford F-150s, Chevy Silverados, Ram 1500s, these are the vehicles we work on the most. Transponder key programming, ignition repair, broken key extraction, we do it all on the spot.
And Subarus are omnipresent in the Treasure Valley too, notably Outbacks and Foresters. Programming the key fob on them has its idiosyncrasies and we know them well. We work on Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, GMC, Dodges, you name it—we’ll pull it in. If you are not sure if we are able to help with your specific vehicle, just call us and we will tell you straight.
Why Treasure Valley Drivers Pick Us Over The Dealer
Ordering a key costs dealerships days and they charge much more for the privilege. We arrive same day come to wherever your vehicle is and in most circumstances cost substantially less. "We came in at half the price of KeyMe and while we were here we fixed a sticky canopy lock" was how one client put it best.
Then there is the convenience angle, other than the expense. No one should have to tow a perfectly drivable automobile to the dealer only to get a new key made. We bring everything to you on location, do it right there and you’re on your way. Not a franchise. Not a national chain with a local phone number. Family owned since 1946. Only us.
Have Questions? The Ones We Hear About the Most Are:
How much does it cost to replace a car key in Treasure Valley?
It depends on the key type, and the car. A regular metal key is less expensive than a transponder key or a laser-cut key that has to be programmed. We offer you a number right out of the box before we do anything. No surprises in the ticket.
Can you program a key fob without a trip to the dealership?
Yes, for most automobiles. We bring the programming equipment to you, so you don't have to tow a perfectly drivable automobile anywhere. Ring us and we will check your vehicle is compatible before we start out.
How long does a car key replacement take?
Most replacements are done in less than one hour, on site. Transponder and fob programming takes a little time depending on the car but same day is the rule not the exception.
Do you work on all models and makes?
Yes. Trucks, SUVs, commuter cars, native and international, we cover them all. If you are not sure if we can help with your particular vehicle just give us a ring and we'll tell you straight.
Can you copy a car key without the original?
Yes. We cut code keys from your vehicle’s VIN or manufacturer records without an original key in hand. It’s called code cutting and it’s something we do all the time throughout the Treasure Valley.
