Locking your keys in the car, losing the only key or having the ignition refuse to turn is stressful, especially in a parking lot late in the day. Our automotive locksmiths come to where your car is and work on it there, which often saves a tow to the dealer.

Transponder keys and fobs
Most cars built in the last two decades use a key with a chip that the car must recognize before it will start. Cutting the blade is only half the job; the chip also has to be programmed to your vehicle. We cut and program keys on site for many makes and models. Call with the year, make and model and we'll tell you what we can do for your car.
What to have ready
- Your car's year, make and model, and the VIN if you can see it through the windshield.
- Photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title. A reputable locksmith will ask before making a key.
- The exact location of the car, including the parking level or row number.
Before you call the dealer
Dealers can usually replace keys, but you may need to get the car to them. A mobile automotive locksmith brings the key machine and programmer to you. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a car key if I've lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. We'll need the vehicle details and proof of ownership. Call with the year, make and model to check.
Will opening my car damage it?
Our technicians use proper vehicle entry tools and take care with your door, seals and paint.
Can you program a key fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Some aftermarket fobs can't be programmed to every vehicle. Tell us the part number and your car's details and we'll let you know.
My key turns but the car won't start. Can you help?
That can be a transponder or ignition problem. We can test the key and the ignition and explain the options.
