Good to Know

  1. I changed the fob battery and it still won't work. Now what? The fob itself may be the problem. We can program a new one in one trip.
  2. Can you add a fob for a second driver? Yes. We cut and program extra keys and fobs.
  3. Do you rekey office doors when someone leaves? Yes. Rekeying makes their old key useless.
  4. The car's locked with the keys inside, in a lot off Main Street. Can you get there? Yes. Name the lot, or the nearest shop on Main Street, and we'll come straight to the car.
  5. We're locked out and the kids are inside. What should we do? If anyone inside could be in danger, call 911 first. If everyone is safe, phone (443) 527-1442 and we'll get the door open.
  6. Is Ellicott City actually a city? It was a chartered city until 1935. Today it's unincorporated, and it serves as the county seat of Howard County.
  7. My key turns fine, yet the engine won't catch and a small light on the dash keeps flashing. What's going on? Often the car has stopped recognizing the chip inside the key's head. We test that chip beside the car, whether it's on Main Street or at home, and if it has failed, the car gets a newly cut and coded key that brings the engine back to life.
