Automotive locksmith software for car keys and fobs
Keyway is software for automotive locksmiths and key shops. Pick the year, make and model and the job, and it matches the keys and fobs you stock that fit that vehicle and gives you one price from your own part price, labour rate and tax, while the customer is still on the phone.
14 day free trial. Requesting a demo opens an email to us.
Priced by vehicle, from your own numbers
A quick quote takes the vehicle and the job type, finds the part you stock that fits it, and adds your labour for that job and your tax. One number, no ranges, nothing from a price list you did not write.
Keys, fobs and transponders on file
Each part carries what an automotive locksmith looks it up by.
- The vehicles it fits, by year, make and model
- FCC ID, chip type and keyway
- Your cost and your sell price
- Stock at the shop and in each van
From the call to the finished job
Turn the quote into a job with the customer and the vehicle, VIN included, book it on the schedule, and complete it. The key or fob you used comes off stock, and the customer can follow the job from a status link.
Residential and commercial work too
Most automotive shops do house and business calls as well. Rekeys, lockouts, lock installs and master key systems are tracked and priced from your own job types and labour rates, in the same place.
Questions
Does Keyway come with key and fob prices built in?
No. The only shared data is a read-only list of vehicle makes and models. Every part, cost and sell price is yours, which is why a quote is always your own number.
Can I look up which key fits a vehicle?
Yes, for the parts you stock. Each part records the vehicles it fits, and a quote for a year, make and model finds the parts on your shelf that match it.
Does it work from my phone in the van?
Yes. Every screen is built to work at 390 pixels wide, including quoting, the schedule and barcode scanning with the phone's camera.
Can another shop see my parts, prices or customers?
No. Every row is tagged with your shop and the database itself refuses to return another shop's rows. The only thing shared between shops is a read-only list of vehicle makes and models.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days with every feature. A card is required to start it and nothing is charged until it ends. Cancel yourself from your billing settings before then and you pay nothing.
