Locked out of your car, or lost the only key you had? Car key replacement is what we do every single day. We come to your vehicle anywhere in Haifa or the Krayot, cut the key, program the chip into the car's immobiliser and test it — all on the spot, with no towing and no dealership queue.
Types of car keys we make
- Transponder (chip) key. Looks like an ordinary key but carries an immobiliser chip. Without programming it into the car, the engine will not start — even if the blade is cut perfectly.
- Flip key with remote. The most common type in Israel: the blade folds out at the press of a button and the central-locking remote is built in.
- Smart key (keyless). For cars with a Start/Stop button — unlock and start without taking the key out of your pocket.
- Shell replacement. If the key still works but the case is cracked or the blade is loose, we often just move the electronics into a new shell. Far cheaper than a whole new key.
Lost every key? You still have options
This sounds worse than it is. Even with no original key at all, your car does not need to be towed. We read the vehicle code through the diagnostic port, cut a fresh blade to the lock code and program the new key into the immobiliser.
One important detail: after a total loss we can erase all previously registered keys from the car's memory. That means a lost key, if someone finds it, will no longer start your vehicle — we recommend doing this every time.
Why not just go to the dealership?
- Towing. With no working key, the car has to be transported — extra cost and hassle.
- Waiting. Usually several days for an appointment, and you are without your car the whole time.
- Price. The same key is typically considerably more expensive through the importer.
- We come to you — car park, home or office — and finish in 20–40 minutes.

How it works

- 2. We arrive in 20–40 minutes anywhere in Haifa or the Krayot.
- 3. Blade cutting from your original or from the lock code.
- 4. Chip programming through the diagnostic port.
- 5. Testing. We start the engine, check central locking and the boot, then hand you the key.
🔑 Key locked inside the car? That is a different job — see emergency lockout in Haifa. We open it without damage in 20–40 minutes.
Do not wait until you lose the last key
More than half of our urgent call-outs are people who had exactly one key. It is especially common with second-hand and ex-lease cars. Having a spare cut calmly, in advance, at the normal price is always cheaper than an emergency call-out at midnight after a total loss.
