Question 1

Why should I order a spare car key?

Accepted Answer

A spare cut and programmed from a working key costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost origination. Getting stranded with no working key is the single most common — and most expensive — situation drivers deal with. Ordering a spare now takes 30–60 minutes and saves a lot later.

Question 2

How much does a spare car key cost?

Accepted Answer

Service call starts at $49; spare pricing depends on the vehicle and key type. Basic transponder spares are the cheapest; proximity push-to-start spares cost more but are still dramatically cheaper than all-keys-lost.

Question 3

Can you make a spare while I wait?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most spare-key jobs finish in 20–60 minutes on-site across Denver Metro. Bring your existing working key and we'll come to you.

Question 4

Can you make a spare push-to-start key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Proximity smart keys with push-button start are duplicated on-site for most makes when you have a working original.

Question 5

Where should I keep my spare car key?

Accepted Answer

Somewhere safe and accessible but not with your primary key — leaving both in the same bag defeats the point. Common choices: at home, with a family member, or in a lockbox on the property. Do not leave a spare inside the vehicle.

Question 6

Can I have multiple spares programmed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most vehicles support up to 4–8 programmed keys. Two-driver households benefit from a spare per driver plus one true backup.

Question 7

Will my primary key still work after a spare is added?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both keys operate the vehicle normally. Programming a spare doesn't clear existing keys.

Question 8

Do you make spare keys for European luxury vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, MINI, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo, and more. These require specialized programming equipment we carry.

Question 9

How long is a good spare key valid?

Accepted Answer

As long as your primary key. Vehicles don't expire programmed keys; they just accept up to a fixed number. Battery life in the fob is separate — most fob batteries last 2–4 years.
