Automotive Locksmith Services You Can Rely On
A car problem that stops you from driving is a problem that needs solving where the car sits. Alameda Locksmiths brings automotive locksmith service to your driveway, workplace, parking garage or roadside anywhere in Alameda and the East Bay. There is no tow to the dealership and no waiting days for a key to be ordered.
We open locked cars, trucks and vans without damage, retrieve keys locked in trunks, cut and program replacement keys when the only key is lost, supply and program remote fobs and smart proximity keys, clone and program transponder chips, extract broken keys from door locks and ignitions, and repair or replace ignition cylinders and switches. Most makes sold in the United States are covered, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen.
Our vans carry key cutting machines and dealer level programming equipment, so a lost key is usually replaced within an hour of arrival. While the vehicle is in programming mode we can make a spare at a reduced cost, which is the best insurance against the next lockout. We also erase lost or stolen keys from the vehicle memory so they can no longer start the car.
Automotive pricing is quoted before dispatch and is typically well below dealership cost. Technicians verify ownership with ID and registration or insurance before opening a vehicle or making a key.
