Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the original key?
No. If you've lost all keys, a qualified locksmith can still create new ones—it just takes longer and costs more due to EIS/EZS module access.
Can you come to my location?
Yes! Mobile locksmith service is common. They'll come to your home, office, or wherever the car is—no towing needed.
