Automotive locksmith in Los Angeles: what we handle
Car key problems are some of the most common calls we take. Most can be solved where the car is parked, which saves you a tow and a trip to the dealership.
Have your vehicle's year, make and model ready when you call. It helps us tell you whether we can cut and program your key on site and roughly what it will cost.

Locksmith or dealership?
A dealership can supply a key, but you usually need to get the car there first. A mobile locksmith brings the cutting and programming equipment to the vehicle, and the cost is often lower.
Some newer models need dealer-only codes. If that applies to your car, we'll tell you when you call rather than send a technician out. Compare both options in locksmith vs dealership car key replacement.

Automotive locksmith FAQ
What do I need to show for a new car key?
A photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title, with a name that matches the ID.
Can you program a transponder key?
For many makes and models, yes. Tell us the year, make and model and we'll confirm before we come out.
My key turns but the car won't start. Can you help?
Possibly. It may be the transponder chip, the key's wear or the ignition cylinder. A technician can test each and explain the options.
Can you open the trunk without damage?
Our technicians use proper entry tools designed to open doors and trunks without harming the lock or paint.
