“All Keys Lost (AKL)” means you have zero working keys — not a copy job. The goal is simple: confirm the system, produce the correct key, program it, and make sure you can start the car before we leave your location in Lathrop. We run this the smart way: quote + realistic ETA first so you don’t waste time.
AKL explained
In AKL jobs, guessing wastes time. We confirm what your car uses (chip key, smart key, etc.) so we bring the correct path for Lathrop—fast and clean.
For many vehicles we can originate the key, cut it (if required), and program it so the vehicle starts. You don’t “hope” — you test before we close the job.
The cheapest protection after AKL is a spare key made right away. People skip this, then get hit again later. Don’t repeat the same problem.
Step-by-step
Text “Lathrop + my location + Year/Make/Model + 0 keys”.
We confirm what’s possible and give a realistic arrival time.
We program the new key and you verify start/lock/unlock.
FAQ
Message: “Lathrop + exact location + Year/Make/Model + 0 keys”. If you know push-to-start, add that too.
Sometimes yes. Tell us “battery dead” and your exact location — we’ll guide the best plan.
We complete on-site testing. You verify start and key functions before we wrap up the job.
Yes — it’s usually the smartest move. A spare is cheaper than another “0 keys” situation later.
