How much does automotive locksmith service cost compared to the dealership?

Our automotive locksmith services typically cost 30-50% less than dealership prices for the same work. Dealerships often charge $200-400 for key programming that we complete for much less.

The real savings come from our mobile service. You don’t pay for towing, and we come to your Twin Oaks location instead of you taking time off work to visit a service center.

We use OEM parts and follow manufacturer programming procedures, so you get the same quality work at a fraction of the cost.

We program transponder keys for all major automotive brands including Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, and more. Our programming equipment gets regular updates to handle the newest vehicle models.

Modern cars use different types of transponder systems, from basic chips to advanced proximity keys. We carry the programming tools and key blanks needed for each type.

If your car has a transponder key, we can program a replacement. The few exceptions are some luxury vehicles with proprietary systems that require dealer-only programming.

Emergency car lockouts in Twin Oaks typically get 20-30 minute response times during normal business hours. We dispatch our closest mobile technician as soon as you call.

Key programming and cutting usually takes another 15-30 minutes once we arrive, depending on your vehicle type. Most customers are back on the road within an hour of their initial call.

Evening and weekend emergency calls may take slightly longer, but we prioritize automotive lockouts because we understand being stranded isn’t convenient for anyone.

Don’t try to start the car or force the broken key piece out. This can damage your ignition cylinder and turn a simple key extraction into an expensive ignition replacement.

Once we remove the broken piece, we can cut and program a new key on-site. You’ll be driving again without needing expensive ignition work or towing to a repair shop.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency automotive locksmith services throughout Twin Oaks and Delaware County. Car lockouts don’t follow business hours, and neither do we.

Emergency calls get priority dispatch, especially if you’re stranded in an unsafe location or harsh weather. We understand that being locked out of your car at night or on weekends creates real safety concerns.

Our emergency service rates are reasonable, and we never charge excessive “after-hours” fees that some companies use to take advantage of stranded motorists.

Programming a new key fob won’t affect your existing keys when done properly. Our technicians follow manufacturer procedures that add new keys to your car’s system without erasing existing ones.

Some vehicles have limits on how many keys can be programmed, typically 4-8 keys depending on the make and model. If you’re at that limit, we’ll let you know before starting the programming process.

We always test all your existing keys after programming new ones to ensure everything works correctly. You’ll leave with confidence that all your keys and remotes function properly.
