Locked out of your car? A-1 Locksmith’s emergency car lockout service is just a phone call away. We know how stressful it is to realize your keys are inside a locked vehicle, so we respond rapidly at any hour with a skilled technician to help. Our locksmith will arrive in a marked A-1 vehicle and have you back inside your car quickly using specialized tools – with no damage to your door or window. We handle lockouts for all vehicle types, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and even trunks or glove boxes. With 30+ mobile technicians in the field and a super fast response time, you won’t be stuck waiting long for help.

When you’ve lost your only car key or want an extra copy, skip the dealership and call A-1 Locksmith for a faster, more affordable solution. Our automotive locksmith experts can originate new keys and fobs for nearly any make or model, right at your car’s location. Dealerships often charge a premium for car key replacement, while locksmiths provide the same service at a fraction of the cost. We cut and program keys on the spot using dealer-quality equipment – meaning you won’t have to tow your vehicle or wait days for a special order.

Whether your vehicle uses a traditional metal key, a transponder/chip key, or a push-button smart fob, we have the technology and expertise to create a fully functional replacement. Our keys are high-quality – in fact, we use the same keys and blanks your dealership does, guaranteed to work for the life of your vehicle. If you simply need a duplicate spare, we can quickly copy your existing key so you have peace of mind. For lost keys, we’ll generate a new one from scratch and program it to your car’s computer system so it starts your engine.

If your key is stuck in the ignition or the car simply won’t start because of an ignition issue, A-1 Locksmith can help right on the spot. There’s no need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership or mechanic – our automotive locksmiths are trained in ignition repair and replacement for most vehicles. Whether your key won’t turn, the ignition is jammed, or it’s completely broken, our mobile locksmiths can fix the problem on-site – saving you the cost and hassle of towing. We’ll come to your car’s location with all the tools and parts needed to resolve the issue.

Common ignition problems we solve include worn-out keys that no longer turn, broken key pieces lodged in the ignition, ignition cylinders that have failed, or electrical switch issues. In many cases, we can repair your existing ignition cylinder by fixing the internal components. If the ignition is beyond repair, we carry replacement ignition cylinders and can install a new one for you. We also handle the key programming that might be needed after an ignition change – so you’ll have a matching new key that starts your car before we leave. Our goal is to provide an end-to-end solution: get your car’s ignition working smoothly again and ensure you have working keys, all in one visit.

Modern vehicles come with keys that do more than just open doors – they contain computer chips and wireless transmitters that must be correctly programmed to your car. If you need a new key or remote for your vehicle, A-1 Locksmith offers specialized transponder key programming services to handle it. We use state-of-the-art equipment to program or reprogram car keys, remote fobs, and smart key systems, ensuring your new key works seamlessly with your vehicle’s security system. Our technicians can often generate and program a brand-new key for you even if you’ve lost all existing keys, thanks to our access to key codes and advanced programming tools.

Choosing a locksmith for transponder keys can save you a lot of money and time. Dealerships often charge inflated prices for key programming, and usually require you to bring the vehicle to them. In contrast, A-1’s mobile service will come to your car and perform the programming on-site, usually for a low flat rate that’s much more affordable. We handle all types of automotive keys: chip/transponder keys, keyless entry remotes, proximity smart keys for push-button start, and more. Our team stays up to date on the latest key technology, so even if you have a newer model with a high-tech fob, we have you covered.
