What a car locksmith can do

A mobile automotive locksmith works where the vehicle is parked, whether that is a driveway in east Brea, a parking structure at the mall or a lot off Imperial Highway. Typical work includes opening a locked vehicle, cutting a replacement key, programming a transponder key or remote, extracting a broken key and repairing or replacing a worn ignition cylinder.

Some late-model vehicles need dealer-only parts or software. If that applies to yours, the dispatcher should tell you up front rather than after someone has driven out.

Dispatch facts

No. 3 · Cars

Information that speeds things up

Have the year, make and model ready, and the VIN if you can see it through the windshield. Say whether the key has a chip or a push-button remote, and whether you still have one working key. A spare is much easier to make from an existing key than from nothing.

You will be asked for proof of ownership, such as registration or title, together with photo ID, before a key is cut.

Prices for vehicle work

Vehicle keys and ignitions are priced individually because every key is cut and programmed differently. The price list shows the starting figures and explains why the final cost can vary with the cut and the programming required. The coupons page lists a key extraction discount.

Parked somewhere awkward

If the car is in a parking structure or a gated community, give the level, the nearest stairwell or the gate instructions. Stay somewhere safe and well lit while you wait, and keep your phone on so the locksmith can call when close.

No. 7 · FAQ

Questions callers ask

Can you make a key if I lost all of them?

Often yes, from the VIN and the lock itself, though some models need dealer equipment. Give the details on the call and you will hear what is possible.

Will opening my car damage it?

A locksmith uses entry tools designed for vehicles, which normally leave no marks. Ask about the method if you are concerned.

Do you program remotes I bought online?

Some aftermarket remotes can be programmed and some cannot. Mention the part number when you call.
