You Call Us

We Come to You
A certified technician is dispatched to your exact location. Average arrival time is 30-60 minutes anywhere in the Savannah, GA area.
Ownership Verified
We check your photo ID and proof of vehicle ownership (registration or title). This step protects you and ensures compliance.
Key Cut & Programmed
Your new Volkswagen key is cut to VIN specification on-site and programmed to your vehicle's immobilizer via OBD-II. All in the same visit.
Test & Hand Off
We verify every key function - start, lock, unlock, trunk, remote start - before handing you the key. Job is done only when it works perfectly.
VOLKSWAGEN KEY TYPES WE HANDLE
Push-button start. No key blade insertion required. Communicates via 315 MHz or 433 MHz proximity signal. Requires OBD-II programming to your VIN.

Common Volkswagen Key Problems
Known issues we encounter frequently on Volkswagen vehicles, and how we handle them.
MQB vs PQ Platform Key Differences
VW split between the older PQ platform (Golf Mk6, Jetta Mk5/6) and the newer MQB platform (Golf Mk7+). Key programming procedures differ significantly between platforms.
HU66 Blade Wear on High-Mileage VWs
The HU66 blade profile wears relatively quickly. A worn blade can start the car but not unlock the door, or vice versa. We check both functions before completing service.
Immo4 vs Immo5 Immobilizer
Newer MQB VWs use Immo5 which requires a PIN extraction step before new keys can be added. Without the correct PIN the module rejects all key additions.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Volkswagen Key Replacement FAQ
Can you make a Volkswagen key if I've lost all my keys?
Yes. We originate new Volkswagen keys from scratch using your vehicle's VIN number and on-site OBD-II equipment. You do not need a working key. We verify ownership before starting and can have you back on the road in most cases within an hour of arriving.
Does my Volkswagen need to be towed to get a new key?
No tow truck needed. Our mobile workshop comes directly to your location - home, office, parking lot, or roadside. We carry the cutting machines, blank inventory, and programming tools for Volkswagen vehicles on-board. Everything is done on-site.
Will the new Volkswagen key work exactly like my original?
Yes. Replacement keys are programmed to your specific VIN and function exactly like the factory original. All locking, unlocking, trunk release, remote start, and push-button start functions are tested before we leave.
How long does Volkswagen key replacement take?
Once our technician arrives, most Volkswagen key replacements are completed in 30 to 60 minutes. Key cutting is done on-site with a dedicated cutting machine. Programming is done via OBD-II. Complex all-keys-lost scenarios may take slightly longer.
What Volkswagen models and years do you service?
We service Volkswagen vehicles from 1966 through 2027. Call us to confirm your specific model.
Do I need to be at the vehicle when you arrive?
Yes. Our technician needs to access the vehicle's OBD-II port (located inside the cabin) and verify that all programmed keys start and operate the vehicle correctly. You or an authorized person must be present with valid ID and proof of ownership.
