Why coming to you is the point
Think about what the alternative involves. A tow truck to move a car that runs perfectly well, a workshop that only opens on weekdays, a day off work, a lift home and another lift back.
We skip all of that. You stay with your car, we arrive, and the work happens in the parking bay you are already standing in.
What we can do at the roadside
Open cars, homes and offices without damage
Cut new blades, including laser cut keys
Programme chip keys, remotes and push start keys
Remove keys broken off in ignitions and locks
Replace cracked casings and worn buttons
Diagnose cars that crank and refuse to start
Delete old or stolen keys from a car's memory
Where we come out to
Across the whole Port Elizabeth metro. We cover Gqeberha and the wider Port Elizabeth metro, including Summerstrand, Humewood, Walmer, Mount Croix, Mill Park, Newton Park, Lorraine, Fairview, Sunridge Park, Westering, Kabega Park and Bluewater Bay.
Shopping centre parking, office parks, residential complexes, petrol stations, beach parking and the side of the road all work for us.
After hours, because that is when it happens
Keys rarely fail at ten on a Tuesday morning. They fail at the end of a long day, on a Sunday, on the way home from somewhere. We work outside normal hours so you are not stuck next to the car until Monday.
What to tell us when you phone
The make, model and year of the car, where it is standing and what the key does now. Those three things let us bring the right blanks and equipment on the first trip, which is the difference between one visit and two.
One visit, several jobs
Since we are already there with everything on board, ask for whatever else the car needs. A spare key while we are connected, a worn casing swapped out, an old key deleted from the system. Doing it together costs far less than a second call out later, and our page on spare car keys explains why the second key is always the cheap one.
For businesses with vehicles
If your vehicles earn money, standing still costs you. We come out to yards, depots and building sites, and we make spares for a whole fleet in one visit so a lost key never takes a vehicle off the road for a day.

FAQS
Do you really come out to the car?
Yes, always. Our vans carry the cutting machines, the blanks and the programming equipment, so the job finishes where your car is standing.
Which areas of Port Elizabeth do you cover?
The whole metro, across Gqeberha, including Summerstrand, Humewood, Walmer, Mount Croix, Mill Park, Newton Park, Lorraine, Fairview, Sunridge Park, Westering, Kabega Park and Bluewater Bay.
What should I tell you when I phone?
The make, model and year of the car, where it is standing and what the key does now. That lets us bring the right equipment on the first trip.
Can everything be done at the roadside, or do some jobs need a workshop?
Nearly everything happens at the car, including cutting, programming and opening. A small number of makes need parts or codes from the brand, and we tell you that upfront.
Do you come out after hours?
Yes, including evenings, weekends and public holidays, since that is when most key trouble happens.
Can you do several vehicles at once for my business?
Yes. We come out to yards, depots and sites and make spares for a fleet in one visit, which keeps a lost key from taking a vehicle off the road.
