By 1998 the company had 8 full time employees and its' EDU service had become a critical component of the areas 911 emergency response system, averaging over 30 EDU's per month.
The company's services expanded to Roadside Assistance services including tire changes, jump-starts and fuel deliveries. In response to requests from customers the company began offering Automotive Locksmith, Residential Locksmith, and Commercial Locksmith services in 2000 to the greater New Orleans Metro area.

Duplicating car keys just isn't as straightforward as it used to be.
With transponder keys, keyless entry remotes, laser cut keys, and other high security keys, your car is safer from thieves than ever.
However, if you lose your key, you can expect to pay a hefty replacement fee at the dealership.
If you're locked out, they'll have to tow the car, and then you'll end up paying for the tow on top of all the other charges.
Who could have guessed that lost car keys could cost you hundreds?
It doesn't have to be that way.

When Chris L. of New Orleans misplaced his regular car key, he pulled out a spare that he had cut at the hardware store but never tried using.
To his surprise, his Honda Accord refused to start when he put the spare in the ignition.
As it turns out, his original key was a transponder key with a special chip inside the head that sent a signal to the ignition.
Without the correct signal, the car wouldn't start.
His mechanical copy of the key was as good as useless.
Chris tried calling the dealer, only to be given a sky high quote and a long waiting time.
