Will a replacement remote include every original function?
A compatible remote should be matched by part information, frequency, button layout, and vehicle features. Each available function should be tested after programming.
What if my key turns but the engine will not start?
The problem may involve a transponder, immobilizer authorization, damaged chip, ignition reader, battery voltage, or another vehicle system. Mechanical and electronic functions should be tested separately.

Many compatible automotive keys and remotes can be programmed by mobile equipment at the vehicle. Some systems may require additional security information or specialized procedures.

Automotive keyways, transponders, remotes, immobilizers, lock construction, and entry procedures vary by year, make, model, and sometimes production date.
What details should I provide when calling?
Provide the exact location, vehicle year, make and model, the type of key or lock, what happened, and whether any key is still available.
Does the locksmith automatically replace the lock?
No. Replacement is not always necessary. The locksmith should inspect and test the existing lock, key, cylinder, and electronic system before recommending new parts.
