Automotive Key Duplication Services in Enterprise

If you still have one working car key in Enterprise, making a copy is the easy version of the job. We come to your vehicle, cut a new blade to match the original and, when the key carries a chip or a remote, program it so the copy starts the engine and does not just open the door.

Most people call after a close call, such as a key that went missing for a day before it turned up in a jacket pocket. That is the right moment to act, because a copy made from a working key costs far less than a key made from nothing. If the remote buttons are the real problem, read our page on remote key fob replacement in Enterprise.

• Bring the working keyCopying from a good original is faster and cheaper than starting over with no key at all.
• Cut beside your carOur van carries the cutting machines, so the new blade is made right where your vehicle is parked.
• Chip keys includedWe pair the new chip with your car's computer so the engine will start with either key.
• Price before cuttingYou hear the complete price for the copy on the phone, before any cutting or programming begins.

Which Car Keys We Can Copy

The kind of key in your hand decides how the duplicate is made, so here is how each common type is handled.

• Plain metal keyOlder vehicles use a key with no chip inside, so we cut it to match and test it in both the door and the ignition.
• Chip key with a plastic headThe blade is cut first and then the chip is paired with the car, a process explained on our transponder key programming page.
• Key with a thick, grooved bladeMany newer vehicles use a blade with a groove milled down the middle, which needs a different machine that also rides in our van.
• Flip key or remote head keyThe blade, the chip and the lock buttons all have to work together, so we cut and pair the key and then test every button before leaving.
• Smart key for push to startThere is no blade to trace, so the spare is added to the car electronically, and we also cut the small emergency blade hidden inside most smart keys.

When a Spare Key Makes Sense

These are the calls we hear most often from drivers who decide it is finally time for a second key.

• "I bought a used car that came with only one key."That happens all the time with private sales, and making the second key now means a single loss will not leave you stranded.
• "My partner and I share one car."A separate copy for each driver saves passing a single key back and forth, and we can program both keys during the same visit.
• "My only key is cracked and badly worn."We copy it while it still works, because a key that snaps off in the door turns a simple copy into a harder and more expensive job.
• "The hardware store copy opens the door but will not start the car."The chip in that copy was never paired, so we check the blade, program a proper chip key and test the start before we go.

What a Spare Car Key Costs in Enterprise

A basic cut key with no chip usually runs $50 to $180 in Las Vegas, while a transponder key is typically $150 to $350 with programming, and a smart key costs more than either. Evening, weekend and holiday visits usually add $25 to $75 to the total. Because you already have a working original, a copy is the least expensive key you will ever buy for that car, and our Las Vegas locksmith price guide shows what moves the number.
