Locked Out of Your Car? We Handle That Too
Locking your keys in the car is one of the most common calls we get, and it can happen to anyone in any vehicle. Our team opens car doors without scratching paint or damaging the frame, and we carry tools built for modern vehicles, not just older cars.
For full pricing and average response times on lockouts, see our Car Unlock and Lockout Services page.
Key Fob Programming and Transponder Keys
Most cars built in the last twenty years use a transponder chip or key fob instead of a simple metal key. Losing one of these is more involved than losing an old style key, since the new key has to be programmed to talk to your car’s computer.
We carry the equipment to program fobs and transponder keys for most major brands. Full details and pricing by vehicle type are on our Ignition and Transponder Key Repair page.
Ignition Repair
A key that won’t turn, sticks halfway, or spins without starting the car usually points to ignition trouble, not a bad key.
We diagnose and repair ignition cylinders on site in most cases, so you are not stuck waiting on a tow truck and a dealership appointment. This is covered in more depth, with pricing, on our Ignition and Transponder Key Repair page.
Every Make and Model We Service
We work on cars, trucks, and SUVs from every major brand sold in Florida, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi.
One thing worth knowing upfront: cost can vary by vehicle. A basic metal key costs less to cut than a transponder key, and a transponder key on some European models costs more to program than one on a common domestic car, simply because the onboard systems are different. We will always tell you the real number for your specific vehicle before starting work.
Motorcycles, RVs, and Commercial Vehicles
Not all vehicle lock and key work is for sedans and SUVs. We also handle key and ignition issues on motorcycles, RVs, box trucks, and other commercial vehicles across Greenacres.
Motorcycle keys and ignitions in particular use different hardware than a standard car, and not every locksmith carries the right tools for them. If you are unsure whether we service your specific vehicle type, call and ask before assuming you need a dealership.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Locksmith Service in Greenacres
How Fast Can an Automotive Locksmith Reach Me in Greenacres?
Most car calls are answered within 20 to 30 minutes, faster if you are near Lake Worth Road or Military Trail.
Can You Make a Car Key Without the Original?
In most cases, yes. We can cut and program a new key using your car’s VIN and ownership proof, without needing the original key present.
Why Do Some Car Keys Cost More Than Others?
Cost depends on the technology inside the key. A basic metal key just needs cutting. A transponder key or smart fob needs programming to match your car’s computer, which takes more time and specialized equipment, so it costs more.
Do You Work on All Car Brands?
Yes. We service domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. Programming time and cost vary by brand, and we will confirm the exact price for your car before starting.
Is an Automotive Locksmith Cheaper Than the Dealership?
Almost always, yes. A dealership often has to order a key and schedule an appointment, sometimes days out, and their labor rates run higher. We come to you the same day in most cases and generally cost less for the same key or programming job.
What Do I Need to Prove the Car Is Mine?
We ask for your driver’s license and vehicle registration, or proof of ownership if the registration is not available. This protects you as much as it protects us, since it keeps someone from getting a key made to a car that is not theirs.
