5. On-site service: The mobile automotive locksmith arrives at the vehicle’s location in Colorado, verifies ID and registration, cuts the replacement key using the vehicle’s key code or by decoding the existing lock, and programs the transponder or smart key to the vehicle’s immobilizer system using on-board diagnostics or bench programming as required.
