Do locksmiths make car keys, including key fobs?

Yes. A modern automotive locksmith cuts and programs transponder keys, remote head keys, and proximity smart fobs for nearly every make and model.

On-site key generation can often be more cost-effective than a dealership visit and saves you a tow. Apex Locksmith carries blanks and programmers for Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, BMW and more.

Push-to-start vehicles need an all-keys-lost programming session that takes 30–90 minutes. Bring proof of ownership (title or registration plus ID) — every legitimate locksmith requires it.

Some 2017+ luxury vehicles (certain Mercedes, Land Rover, etc.) still require dealer involvement because of locked encryption systems. A reputable locksmith will tell you up front and won't charge you to find out at your driveway.
