Car Key Replacement – common questions
I lost my only car key. Can you make one with nothing to copy?
Yes. We cut a key from the vehicle's code and program the transponder on site, so the car does not need to be towed to a dealer.
How long does a new car key take?
Most keys are cut and programmed within 30 to 60 minutes of arrival. Some European models take longer because of dealer security systems.
Is it cheaper than the dealer?
Usually well under dealership pricing, and there is no tow, no appointment and no multi-day wait for a key to be ordered.
How fast can you get to me in Charlotte?
Most calls in Charlotte are reached within 20 to 40 minutes. 5 Star Locksmith runs mobile units around the city from 7 AM to 11 PM, and the dispatcher gives you an arrival time when you call 704-709-3684.
Do I get a price before you start?
Yes, always. The technician checks the lock or the car on arrival and quotes the whole job before touching anything. The estimate is free and there are no hidden fees.
Are your technicians background-checked?
Yes. 5 Star Locksmith has been in business since 2010, and every technician is background-checked and shows ID on arrival.
