When you lose or break your car key, your first instinct might be to call the dealership for a replacement. However, mobile locksmith services like MB Key Solution LLC in New Haven, CT, provide a faster, more affordable, and more convenient alternative. With expert key programming, quick response times, and on-site service, we ensure you get back on the road without the hassle of dealership delays and high costs.

As a Connecticut-licensed locksmith (License #LCK.0000372) with over 20 years of experience, MB Key Solution LLC specializes in car key replacements, transponder key programming, smart key duplication, and emergency lockout assistance—all at your location, without the need for towing.

1. Faster & More Convenient Service Than Dealerships

The Problem with Dealerships:

When you go to a dealership for a key replacement, the process can take days or even weeks due to:

• Scheduling delays – Dealerships often require appointments, which can be booked out for weeks.

• Towing costs – If you lost all your keys, you need to tow your car to them.

• Key ordering time – Many dealerships don’t keep keys in stock, so they order them from the manufacturer.

• High labor fees – Programming and cutting a key at a dealership comes with a hefty labor charge.

How MB Key Solution LLC is Different:

🚗 We come to you! No towing, no waiting—just fast, expert locksmith service wherever you are.

🔑 Keys made on-site in under an hour! No long delays, no extra steps.

📍 Serving all of New Haven, CT, including Yale University & Yale New Haven Hospital.

Instead of waiting days for a dealership to replace your key, MB Key Solution LLC gets the job done in minutes.

2. More Affordable Than Dealerships

How Dealership Prices Compare:

💰 Basic Key Replacement: $150 – $300

💰 Transponder Key Programming: $250 – $500

💰 Smart Key Fob Replacement: $400 – $900

How MB Key Solution LLC Saves You Money:

✅ No dealership markups – We provide the same high-quality key programming for up to 50% less.

✅ No hidden fees – Transparent pricing with no surprise charges.

✅ No towing fees – We bring the service to you, saving you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary towing.

With MB Key Solution LLC, you get the same professional service, at a fraction of the dealership cost.

3. 24/7 Emergency Car Key Replacement & Lockout Assistance

Dealerships Are Limited by Business Hours

If you lose your key at night, on a weekend, or during a holiday, a dealership won’t be available. Even if they are open, they may require you to wait several days before they can replace your key.

MB Key Solution LLC is Always Available!

🔑 24/7 mobile locksmith service – Call us anytime, day or night.

🚗 Immediate response time – We can reach most locations in New Haven in under an hour.

🔓 Lockout assistance included – If you’re locked out, we’ll get you back in quickly without damage.

4. Advanced Key Programming – Just Like the Dealership, But Faster

Many people assume that only dealerships can program car keys. The truth is, MB Key Solution LLC has the same advanced key-cutting and programming tools that dealerships use—allowing us to provide the same quality service, but with more speed and flexibility.

We can program and replace:

✅ Transponder keys

✅ Smart keys & push-to-start fobs

✅ Laser-cut high-security keys

✅ Proximity & remote keys

✅ Key fobs for all major brands

Whether you drive a Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or another brand, we can program a key for you—without the wait.

5. Mobile Locksmiths Offer Personalized Customer Service

Unlike dealerships, where you are just another customer in line, MB Key Solution LLC provides:

• One-on-one customer service – We focus on your specific needs.

• Clear communication – We explain every step of the process.

• Friendly, professional support – We treat every customer like family.

As a locally owned and operated business, we take pride in serving the New Haven community with honesty, reliability, and fast service.

6. We Serve More Vehicles Than the Dealership

Most dealerships only handle their own brand of vehicles. This means if you own multiple cars or a less common make, they might not be able to help you.

At MB Key Solution LLC, we provide key replacements and programming for nearly all makes and models—including brands dealerships don’t cover.

🔑 Luxury & High-Security Vehicles: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Land Rover, Porsche.

🔑 Domestic Vehicles: Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, GMC, Jeep, Cadillac.

🔑 Japanese & Korean Brands: Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia.

🔑 European Brands: Volkswagen, Mini Cooper, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Fiat.

Real-Life Example: How We Helped a Customer Avoid the Dealership Hassle

Recently, a New Haven customer lost their Toyota Camry key on a Friday night. The dealership told them they couldn’t get a new key until Tuesday—and they would have to tow the car to them.

🚗 Instead, they called MB Key Solution LLC.

✅ We arrived within 30 minutes and programmed a brand-new key on the spot.

✅ No towing, no waiting, and no dealership fees.

✅ They saved over $250 compared to the dealership quote.
