A "Duplicate Immobilizer Key Service" refers to the service provided by automotive locksmiths or professionals to create an additional copy of an immobilizer key for a vehicle. Immobilizer keys, also known as transponder keys, contain a microchip that communicates with the vehicle's immobilizer system to prevent unauthorized starting of the engine.
