Keys locked in the car

A car lockout is one of the most common calls we get: keys left on the seat, in the ignition or in the trunk. Our technicians open many common makes and models with professional automotive entry tools designed to protect the door, window, paint and weather stripping. No slim jims, no broken glass.

Lost car key replacement

Lost your only car key? A dealership often needs the car towed in and days of waiting. A car locksmith comes to where the vehicle is parked. Depending on the make, model and year, we can cut a new key and, where the vehicle requires it, program the transponder chip or remote so the car starts. Tell us the make, model and year when you call — we confirm on the phone whether we can make the key for your vehicle.

Spare car keys

If you only have one key, a spare is the cheapest way to avoid a future lockout or lost-key call. Making a copy from a working key takes far less time and costs less than replacing a key when all keys are lost.

Broken key extraction

A key that snaps in the door lock or trunk lock can be removed without replacing the lock. Once the broken piece is out, we can cut a new key so you are not left driving on a damaged one.

How a car locksmith call works

  1. Call (617) 870-8468 — tell us where the car is, the make, model and year, and whether the keys are locked inside or lost.
  2. Price on the phone — you get a price range before anyone heads out, and a firm price on site before work starts.
  3. Proof of ownership — we ask for ID and the vehicle registration or title before opening a car or making a key. It protects you, too.
  4. Entry or new key — the technician opens the car or makes the key and checks that it opens the doors and starts the engine.

What affects the cost

A simple lockout costs less than key replacement. For new keys the price depends on the vehicle, the type of key (basic metal key, transponder key, remote head key or smart key) and whether a working key is available to copy. The price is agreed before work begins — no hidden fees.

FAQ

Car keys & lockouts: common questions

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Often, yes. For many makes and models a car locksmith can cut and, if needed, program a new key even when all keys are lost. Call with the make, model and year and we will confirm whether we can make a key for your vehicle.

Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealership for car keys?

In many cases it is, and there is usually no need to tow the car to the dealer. We give you a price range on the phone so you can compare.

Will opening my car damage it?

We use professional automotive entry tools designed to open the car without damaging the door, window, paint or weather stripping.

What do I need to show to get a car key made?

A photo ID and proof that you own the vehicle, such as the registration or title. We do this for every car lockout and key replacement.
