Car Key Replacement in Jacksonville, FL

A replacement key, made at your car

Lost your only key? Need a spare before that happens? Either way, we come to you.

Car Key Replacement Jax is a mobile locksmith service in Jacksonville, FL. We cut and program replacement keys right at your vehicle, whether it's parked in a Riverside driveway or an office garage off Butler Blvd. The business has run fully mobile for the last four years, so working out of a van is nothing new for us.

Spare and duplicate keys start at $150. We're open daily, 8 AM to 8 PM. Call or text (904) 902-4771 and we'll confirm your exact price before anyone drives anywhere.

The case for a spare key

A spare car key runs from $150 when you still have a working key to copy. Lose every key and the same car starts at $195, because now we're building a key from scratch instead of duplicating one.

That's the whole pitch. If your only key is cracked or held together with tape, a spare made this week is the cheap version of this problem.

We get calls from beach parking lots all summer from people whose fob went swimming. The ones who kept a spare at home got off easy. Our pricing overview lists the starting price for every service if you want to compare.

Key types we cut and program

Basic metal keys, transponder keys, flip keys, smart fobs, and push-to-start proximity keys. We handle most makes and models sold in the US.

Almost every key made since the late '90s has a chip inside that has to be matched to the car. Cutting the blade is the easy half. Programming is where the equipment in our van earns its keep.

Got a fob with dying buttons, or one you bought online that the car won't recognize? We program key fobs and remotes too, starting at $150.

One note on brand names. We're not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer, so when we say we make keys for a Ford or a Toyota, that's a statement about compatibility, nothing more.

Why not just go to the dealer?

You can, but it usually takes longer. Dealers often have to order the key, which can mean days without your car. And if you've lost every key, you'll pay for a tow just to get the car to them.

We skip all that by coming to you. One visit, and the key is cut and programmed at your car before we leave. No tow truck involved.

Now the honest part. A handful of the very newest, most sealed-up models can only be keyed by the dealer. If your car is one of them, we'll say so on the phone instead of burning your afternoon.

Call the dealer first if you want. Get their number, then call us. We'll quote you over the phone with no hidden fees, and you can decide with both numbers in hand.

How long does it take?

Around town, we typically pull up 30 to 60 minutes after the call. Traffic on I-95 or a run out toward the edge of our range can stretch that, so we'll give you an honest window when you book.

Once we're on site, a spare or duplicate made from a working key is the quicker job. All-keys-lost work and some newer vehicles take more time, and we'll say so up front.

For all-keys-lost work, we'll ask to see your ID and proof of ownership, like a registration or title. That check is there to protect you. It means nobody can roll up and have a key made to your car.

We cover all of Jacksonville and about 50 miles around it, from the beaches to well past I-295. Text (904) 902-4771 with what you drive and where you're parked. We'll quote it before we roll.
