Pier 01 · The work
Car lockouts
Opening a locked car is the quickest call on the list. Tools slip between the door and frame and work the lock or handle without damaging paint or weather stripping. The price list shows lockouts from $19.00 plus the service call.
Check first whether a spare key is close by, and whether a child or pet is inside. If anyone is at risk in a hot car, call 911 before calling a locksmith.
Keys, fobs and ignitions
Modern keys hold a transponder chip that must be programmed to the car. A mobile locksmith cuts the blade, programs the chip and tests the start on site. Prices start at $100.00 for new vehicle keys, transponder programming and ignition changes, and vary with the make and model.
Have the year, make and model ready, plus the VIN if you can see it through the windscreen. That lets the dispatcher check whether the key can be made on site and give an estimate.

Pier 05 · Questions
Automotive locksmith FAQ
Can you make a key without the original?
For most cars, yes. The key is cut from the vehicle's code and programmed on site. Some newer models need dealer data; the dispatcher will say so before anyone drives out.
Will opening the car damage it?
Proper lockout tools are made to avoid damage. A technician will tell you before starting if a vehicle needs a different approach.
What do I need to show?
Your ID and the registration or title, so the technician can confirm the car is yours.
