Common Lock Failures

Steps We Follow:

01.

Call

Call No Bull Locksmiths first. We will then have a team member out to you within the same day.

02.

Get vehicle info

We will ask for basic vehicle information such as year/make/model, ignition type, location, etc.

Does your car have a proximity (smart) key or slot key (fob goes in slot) keep key in pocket and press a button on the dash or other button in the car to start it, without the need of a conventional metal key or ignition. Or is it a keyed ignition or a combination of the two?

Twist-Knob Ignition

Proximity Ignition

Keyed Ignition

Typically, remote starters work with push-to-start vehicles by using a proprietary, secure system called KLON that mimics the smart-key signal. Thus, your vehicle will start in the same way as if your smart-key was inserted in the ignition!

On the wheel

On the dashboard

On the front console

On the back console

Did you lose all working keys to the vehicle(do you have a key presently that starts the vehicle) or are you looking for a spare key. Do you want a key with buttons( ie: remote headed key) or separate remote where as remote headed key not applicable. Or just a programmed transponder key that starts the vehicle?

03.

Quote

No Bull Locksmiths will give you a quote on the phone for the service. This price will not change.

04.

EEPROM

No Bull pulls a module from the vehicle and read data to generate key immobilizer files to clone old keys and get your car driving again. .

05.

Service

No Bull Locksmiths will make a mold/copy of the key and program it to the car for you. Even if no key is present we can ORIGINATE a working cut key that meets dealer level specs.
