What Does an Automotive Locksmith Do?
An automotive locksmith helps vehicle users that have authorized access, but are unable to gain access to or use the vehicle due to problems with the key. This service may include lockouts, replacement keys, fob and transponder reprogramming, ignition services, broken key removal and motorcycle keys, depending on the vehicle and service availability.
Car Keys, Fobs & Transponders
Vehicle key problems can involve the physical key, remote, transponder chip or vehicle recognition system. The appropriate service depends on your vehicle and whether a working key is available. For a missing key, see Car Key Replacement. For electronic key issues, see Key Fob Programming or Transponder Key Programming.
Ignition Key Problems
If a key becomes tough to insert, remove, or turn, it could be due to the key, cylinder, or wear. It could also include damage. Never, under any circumstance, attempt to force a damaged or sticking key. Further action might be key service, extraction, ignition repair, or ignition replacement after evaluation.
Vehicle Authorization & Service Compatibility
The work of vehicle locks and keys relates to access and security. Depending on the security of the service, you may be asked to present documentation of ownership or authorization. Also, service incompatibility may occur as a result of the vehicle or the key system. Never assume we can service any make, model, fob, transponder, ignition, or motorcycle key.

What vehicle information should I provide when requesting service?
