Most car lockouts aren't dramatic - they're just annoying. You set your keys down for one second, the door closes, and that's it.

One customer in North Reston called us from a shopping center with groceries melting in the trunk. She had searched "car locksmith near me", worried she'd need a tow. We were on site in 18 minutes, unlocked the car without a scratch, and she was home before her ice cream started dripping. "You guys just saved my dinner plans", she said.
Losing your only car key used to mean towing your vehicle to a dealership and waiting days for a new one. Not anymore. We cut and program transponder keys, remote keys, and key fobs for most makes and models - right where your car is parked.

Sometimes the key isn't broken - just the battery is dead. If your fob stopped working or your push-start won't recognize the signal, it might be a simple fix. We can test the battery, replace it if needed, and reprogram your fob if something got reset.
A customer off Glade Drive once called us convinced her ignition module was shot. Turned out? Her key fob battery had corroded inside. We cleaned the contact, popped in a fresh battery, and it worked like new. Cost her way less than she expected. And yes - we gave her a backup battery to keep in her glove box, just in case.
A transponder key has a chip inside that talks to your car. Without the chip, the engine won't start. If you've got one of these and you've lost it - we can help. We create and program transponder keys on site, often faster than it takes a dealer to even order them.
Tip: If your transponder key starts acting flaky - sometimes working, sometimes not - don't wait. It's easier to copy a semi-working key than to replace one that's totally dead.
