No. 02 Overview
Automotive Locksmith services
Car key work has changed. Most vehicles from the last two decades use a transponder chip in the key, and many use a smart key that never leaves your pocket. A new key has to be cut and programmed to the car.
For a lockout, the locksmith opens the door or trunk with tools made for the job, without breaking the window. For lost keys, they cut and program a new one at the car where the model allows it. Prices for keys depend on the vehicle, so give the make, model and year when you call.

Keys for cars, scooters, trucks and motorcycles.
