Yes, in most cases. KEY4 sells to qualified automotive professionals — this includes licensed locksmiths as well as auto mechanic shops, auto repair businesses, and electromechanical service providers. Licensing requirements for purchasing key programming tools vary by state, county, and city, and many jurisdictions do not require a locksmith license for automotive mechanics to operate.
To purchase the OBDStar Master G3 (or other restricted professional tools), here's what you'll need to do:
- Create an account on key4.com.
- Submit your business documentation — this can be a valid auto mechanic / auto repair business license, locksmith license, or equivalent professional credentials in your jurisdiction. You can upload it during account setup or email it to our team.
- Account verification — our team will review your documentation and approve your account, usually within one business day.
Once your account is verified, you'll be able to place orders for the Master G3 and other professional equipment.
Please note: It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws governing the use of key programming and automotive diagnostic equipment in their area. KEY4 reserves the right to request additional documentation and to approve or decline accounts at our discretion.
