Tachyon Auto Service offers key and immobilizer programming for a range of vehicles. If your vehicle does not recognize a key or you need help with a programming requirement, contact us to confirm compatibility and service availability.
We serve Chicago, Chicagoland, and Northwest Indiana, with mobile service available by arrangement.
Many vehicles use an electronic security system to verify that an authorized key is present before allowing the engine to start.
A key-recognition problem can involve the key, vehicle electronics, or communication between components. Programming may be necessary, but diagnosis may also be needed to identify the cause.
Keys and remotes that look alike may not be electronically compatible. Requirements vary by vehicle, and some previously used keys cannot be reused.
Before purchasing a key or remote, contact us with your vehicle details to discuss programming compatibility.
Please include:
Please ask what identification and proof of ownership are required before the appointment.
