Car Key Replacement Done Right the First Time

Losing the only key to your car used to mean a tow to the dealership and a multi-day wait. Alameda Locksmiths comes to your driveway, workplace or parking lot in Alameda and makes a new key on the spot for most vehicles, even when you have no key to copy.

We cut mechanical keys by code, program transponder chips to the immobilizer, and supply flip keys, remote head keys and smart proximity keys for domestic, Japanese, Korean and many European vehicles. We can also delete lost keys from the vehicle memory so a stolen key no longer starts the car. Many customers combine this with our Car Lockout service and our Key Fob Replacement service.

Our pricing is typically well below dealer cost and the whole job usually takes under an hour. We also make spare keys while everything is set up, which is the best time to do it.
