Question 1

Are you licensed and insured to work on Audi vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is a California BSIS licensed locksmith company, license number LCO#6792, and fully insured. Audi key work on this generation involves immobilizer PIN reads, transponder programming, and occasionally diagnosing why a key that looks fine is not being recognized by the vehicle. That takes real equipment and real experience with VAG systems, not just a generic key machine. We operate under a real business name, show up in a marked service van, and you can verify our reviews before you call.

Question 2

How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Accepted Answer

Scam locksmiths are a genuine problem and Audi owners tend to be targets because the work is known to be expensive. The pattern is always the same: a too-low quote on the phone that multiplies once the tech is standing at your car. There are documented owner reports of quotes that tripled or worse by the time the job was supposedly done.

EZ Car Keyz has over 100,000 followers across YouTube and TikTok where you can watch actual key jobs on European vehicles. We give a firm price on the phone. That price does not change when we arrive. Marked van, real license number, verifiable reviews. If anything feels off before we get there, call us back and ask questions.

Question 3

Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The replacement key is cut to your vehicle and the transponder is programmed to your immobilizer. It starts the car and operates like the key you lost. One thing worth knowing: if you come to us because the car turns over but immediately stalls, or because a key-not-detected type warning is showing up, we diagnose the actual source before we hand you anything new. Sometimes the issue is the key. Sometimes it is the vehicle side. You should know which one before spending money on a replacement.

Question 4

My 2014 Audi TT starts and immediately stalls. Is that the key's fault?

Accepted Answer

That pattern, starts then dies within a second or two, points to the immobilizer not completing its handshake with the transponder in the key. It does not always mean the key is dead. The chip inside the key can degrade, or the antenna ring around the ignition cylinder can fail, and either one breaks that communication. I see this on older VAG flip keys where the key looks physically fine but the chip is no longer responding reliably. We test the key signal on site first. If the antenna ring is the problem, that is a different repair than cutting a new key. Either way, do not keep cranking hoping it clears on its own.

Question 5

I have one working key for my TT. Should I get a spare made now or wait until I need it?

Accepted Answer

Get the spare now. When you still have a working key, adding a second one is faster and costs less. All-keys-lost on this vehicle requires a PIN extraction step that adds time to the job. Not a huge deal, but it is a longer process and costs more than a simple add-a-key while the original is in hand. One lost or damaged key and you are in the harder, slower scenario. A spare made today in La Mesa takes well under an hour.
