Lost your only chipped key, or it stopped starting the car? I am Oren, a licensed Westchester locksmith, and I cut and program new transponder keys at your location, usually faster and for less than a dealership.

About this service
Most vehicles built since the late 1990s use transponder keys, physical keys with an embedded microchip that has to talk to the car's immobilizer before the engine will start. Losing or damaging one means you cannot just cut a new blade, the chip has to be programmed too. I provide transponder key replacement throughout Westchester County, handling both the cutting and the electronic pairing on-site.
I carry blank transponder keys for a wide range of domestic and import makes, along with the diagnostic tools needed to program the chip to your vehicle's immobilizer. The job usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the manufacturer's security, and I test every key in the ignition and doors before I leave.
Going through a locksmith is typically faster and more affordable than the dealership, which often wants the car towed and days to get parts. I give you a clear price before I start and can usually finish the same visit. Need a backup? I can program multiple keys in one appointment.
What I include
- Cutting new transponder key blades
- Programming the chip to your immobilizer
- Originating keys when all copies are lost
- Spare keys programmed in the same visit

Frequently asked questions
What do you need to make a transponder key?
I need your vehicle's year, make, and model plus proof of ownership. From there I cut and program a new transponder key on-site with professional diagnostic equipment.
Is a transponder key the same as a key fob?
No. A transponder key has a microchip in the head that talks to your car's immobilizer. A fob is a separate remote that controls the locks and sometimes the ignition.
Can you make a key if I lost my original?
Yes. I can originate a brand-new transponder key from your VIN or by reading the lock directly, with no original key required.
How long does it take to replace a transponder key?
Most transponder key replacements take 30 to 60 minutes, including cutting the blade and programming the chip to your immobilizer.
How much does a transponder key replacement cost?
I quote the exact, flat-rate price up front, with no hidden fees. For typical pricing on this service, see my pricing page.

Dor did everything to ensure that the car was opened. He was fast and courteous, even though I was initially frustrated and irate. He was calm and polite. Couldn't have gotten a better technician.
Excellent service! Called them after getting locked out of my car at 11pm. They arrived in about 20 minutes and got me back in quickly. Very professional and fair pricing.
