Terms on this page

Starting price: The price shown before the key is confirmed. The kiosk reprices on screen if the blank turns out to differ — before payment, never after.
Host business: The shop the machine sits inside. The kiosk is available whenever that business is open, which is what sets its hours.
Capture: Recording a key's profile and cuts so the shop can reproduce it without you leaving the original behind.
Self-service kiosk: A machine inside a host business that sells car fobs, fob batteries and hide-a-key boxes on the spot and scans any other car key to ship. No appointment and no counter staff.
