Transponder Keys, Chip Keys, Prox Remote, Fobik Remotes, IR Remotes:

  Since the late 90's most all auto makers began using transponders systems or "chip keys" in their vehicles. With out a properly cut & programmed key you will not be able to start your car. Our locksmith Jason is highly experienced with automotive locksmithing and knows exactly what needs to be done once you provide him your vehicles year, make and model. There will be no surprises or low-rate quotes only to have it changed after our locksmith arrives and try to tell you something else. Jason will  let you know during the quote if your vehicle needs a chip key or not  and will give you a flat rate quote that includes cutting & programming of your new replacement key.  

High Security "Laser" Cut Keys:

  Many people think or have been told they can only get hi-security keys from the dealer. I am not sure where this started but its not the case.  Keyworks uses the newest and highest rated key machines to produce new factory specific laser cut keys for all makes and models. We cut keys all day long everyday so our equipment is constantly calibrated and tweaked  to make sure it is always cutting accurately.

ECU PCM Repair: Instead of replacing your pcm with another old used unit and then needeing to have itsometimes it makes more sense to have your original repaired / refurbished. In most cases costs will be cheaper to repair AND your pcm will be upgraded with new more stable components.

  

  

 

ECU Flash & Adaption

Electronic Control Module Flashing and Adaption

Keyworks provides mobile ecu flashing and adaption for all makes and models.
We carry both dealer specific tools and also the best aftermarket solutions.

 Since the mid 90's, car started allowing for ecu programming or "flashing" done by special tools via the OBDII socket. This allows manufacturers to release fixes for known drive-ability issues and the modules easily be updated with the new calibrations. The most common control units that need flashing have always been the PCM (powertrain  control modules) & TCM (transmission control module) but in this day and age virtually all electronic control modules can be reprogrammed. Adapting replacement modules is also a big part of ecu flashing as they will need to be properly calibrated your car.

The most common reasons people call us for ECU Flashing:

• PCM, ECU, TCM UPDATES: Manufactures regularly release updated calibrations for bug fixes just like your home pc and cell updates. The updates help with many things such as fuel economy, engine/transmission noise, drive issues and much more.
  
• CONTROL MODULES REPLACED: About every electronic control module on your car today is coded special for your car and matched to your VIN. That's great when things are working but when you need to have one replaced, it will need to be coded specifically to your car. We can take care of most all module replacement adaptions using new or used parts.
