Capson Key Tech
Straight answers about car keys, lockouts, rekeying, our service area, warranty and payment. If your question isn't here, call or text and just ask.
Yes. When all keys are lost we need access to the vehicle and documents proving you own it. If you still have a working key and just want a spare, we only need that key and the vehicle.
It depends on the job. If all keys are lost, we need access to the vehicle and documents proving you own the car. If we're adding an additional key, we only need your current key and the vehicle.
It depends on the vehicle, but plan on 30 minutes to an hour.
Yes — and a lot more convenient, because we come to you instead of you having to get the vehicle to a dealer.
Yes. We cut and program transponder keys, remote head keys, remote fobs, and proximity keys for keyless push-to-start systems.
Often that's an immobilizer or key fault rather than a mechanical one. We carry specialized equipment to diagnose immobilizer and key issues.
Yes. Ignition repair and rekeying are routine work for us, and we can do it at your vehicle.
Yes. We have specialized training and tools to extract broken keys without damaging the lock.
Yes — it is much cheaper to duplicate an existing key than to generate a new one from scratch. If you're down to a single key, that's the moment to get a spare.
We currently do not offer services for most BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. If you have one, feel free to reach out and we can discuss it.
Yes. We're not limited to cars and light trucks — give us a call with the details and we'll confirm what's involved.
Rekeying is faster and cheaper than replacing a lock. If the lock itself is in good shape, rekeying is almost always the right call.
Yes. You never know how many copies of the old keys are out there. Rekeying when you move in is one of the smartest things you can do.
Yes. We open the door without damaging the door or the lock.
Any official document with your name and the address of the house.
Give us a call and we can discuss the options for your doors.
Yes, we can key multiple locks to a single key.
A master key system is a key hierarchy. Each person gets a key that opens only the areas they need, while a master key opens everything. It suits offices, warehouses and multi-tenant buildings where different people need different access.
Rekeying the affected locks invalidates the old keys immediately and costs far less than replacing hardware. If you're on a master key system, tell us and we'll work out the least disruptive way to do it.
Yes.
Not at the moment.
Yes. We're fully mobile and work on your lot or in your bay, so the vehicle never has to move.
Yes. All-keys-lost work is routine for us and we originate keys from scratch.
Same or next business day.
Yes. When a module has to come out and be read directly we do that too, including EEPROM work — the step most shops have to send away.
Capson Key Tech is registered on the National Automotive Service Task Force Vehicle Security Professional Registry. That registration is what lets us obtain key codes and immobilizer programming data directly from the vehicle manufacturer, and holding it requires a background check, state licensing and carried liability insurance.
