Duplicate car key cutting in Orlando, FL
One key per car is one bad day away from a towing bill. A duplicate — cut and programmed from your working key — costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost job and takes minutes where the car sits.

What’s included
- Metal, transponder, remote head and proximity duplicates.
- Cut from your working key — no disassembly, no waiting.
- Tested in the door and the ignition (or push-button) before you pay.
- Household spares: the second key for the family car that commutes the 408 daily.
- Fob batteries swapped while we are at it.
What moves the price
- Key family — the whole spread lives between metal and proximity.
- Whether the car is present for testing (it should be).
- Blank source — your own blank or ours, priced honestly either way.
Typical range: $45–$290. Metal duplicates sit at the bottom; proximity fobs at the top — the key family decides, and the year, make and model confirm it.

Quick answers
Why duplicate now if the current key works fine?
Because the cost asymmetry is brutal: a duplicate is the low end of the range, an all-keys-lost job is the high end with the car immobilized in between. The spare is cheap insurance.
The hardware store copied my key but the car won’t start.
They cut the metal but skipped the transponder programming — the car sees a dead chip. We cut and program properly, and that combination is the actual job.
We bought the used car with one key.
The most common duplicate call there is — one visit, a second key cut, programmed and tested, and the household stops passing a single key around.
Can you duplicate a “do not duplicate” stamped key?
With proof of ownership, yes — restricted keyways are about authorization, and your registration is the authorization that matters for your own car.
How many spares should a two-driver household have?
Three total is the comfortable number: one per driver and one in a drawer. The second and third copies price the same as the first on the same visit.
