In 2023, RepoKey was founded on one simple truth: most repossession companies lose valuable time and profit waiting for car keys.
Every day, thousands of recovered vehicles sit idle — not because of paperwork or logistics, but because no one can start them.
RepoKey changes that.
We built a smart, automated platform that bridges the gap between repossession companies and certified locksmiths, ensuring every recovered vehicle is delivered key-ready — faster, easier, and more profitable.
“Finally, a platform that understands repossession workflows. RepoKey changed how we handle keys completely.”
“RepoKey cut our key turnaround from 7 days to 48 hours. We bill banks faster and move cars out of storage.”
“RepoKey sends me steady work — no phone calls, no chasing payments. I just focus on what I do best: cutting and programming keys.”
