Car key and lock services
Modern vehicles use a mix of mechanical cuts and electronics, so the right equipment matters. Mobile auto locksmiths carry key-cutting machines and programming tools in the van, which means most jobs are done beside your car rather than at a dealership.
- Car lockouts: door and trunk opening, including keys locked inside.
- Transponder and chip keys: cutting and programming keys with an immobilizer chip.
- Key fob and remote replacement: new fobs, switchblade (flip) keys and push-to-start remotes for many makes.
- Replacing lost car keys: new keys made even when no original is available, where the vehicle allows.
- Ignition repair and replacement: worn ignition cylinders that stick, won’t turn or release the key.
- Broken key extraction: removing snapped key pieces from doors and ignitions.
- Car door lock changes when a lock has been damaged or keys are missing.
Why a mobile locksmith instead of the dealer?
Dealers often need the vehicle towed to them and may order keys in. A mobile locksmith can usually cut and program many keys on the spot, so you avoid the tow. Prices for new vehicle keys, ignition changes and transponder programming start at $100.00 on our price list, and the exact cost depends on the key type and programming required.
What to have ready
To protect owners, the locksmith will ask for ID and proof that the vehicle is yours, such as the registration or title. Have the make, model and year handy when you call, along with the VIN if you can see it through the windshield. That helps the dispatcher give a closer estimate.
Stuck in a parking lot?
Stay with your vehicle if it’s safe to do so, keep your phone charged and share your exact location when you call. If you feel unsafe, call 911 first. Our post on car lockouts explains how locksmiths open vehicles without harming the door or window.
Questions about automotive locksmith service
Can you make a key if I lost every car key?
Often yes. Many vehicles can have a new key cut from the VIN or decoded from the lock, then programmed. A few makes require dealer-only codes, and the dispatcher can tell you when you call.
How much is a new car key?
New vehicle keys and transponder programming start at $100.00 plus the $29.00 service call fee. The final price depends on the key, cut and programming needed.
Will opening my car damage it?
Locksmiths use dedicated tools designed to open vehicles without damaging paint, seals or glass. Wire hangers and DIY tricks are far more likely to cause damage.
