WHAT WE DO

Automotive Locksmith Services

Modern vehicles mix mechanical and electronic security, so we’re upfront about which job you actually need before we quote it.

🚗

Car Lockouts

Locked out with keys inside — non-destructive entry tools, safe for your vehicle’s paint and window seals, never a coat hanger or wedge tool.

🔑

Key & Transponder Fob Replacement

Cutting a new key and, where your vehicle requires it, programming the transponder chip separately — two different jobs, quoted separately upfront.

A cut key and a programmed immobilizer are not the same job. We tell you which one you need before quoting.

📡

Fob Programming

Programming a replacement or spare key fob to your vehicle’s immobilizer system, for most domestic and import makes.

🔨

Broken Key Extraction

A key snapped off in the door or ignition, removed without further damaging the cylinder where possible.

🛠️

Ignition Repair

A stiff, worn, or partially-failing ignition cylinder diagnosed and repaired rather than defaulting straight to full replacement.

🚙

Most Domestic & Import Makes

Coverage across most common domestic and import vehicles on the road in Dearborn — ask when you call if you’re unsure about your specific make and model.

If a child or pet is locked in a hot car, call 911 first, then call us. For every other automotive lockout, call (313) 555-0123 for a real price on the spot.
COMMON SITUATIONS

Why Dearborn Drivers Call Us

Keys Locked Inside

The most common call we get — often in a parking lot, driveway, or on the Michigan Avenue or Warren Avenue corridors.

Lost Your Only Key Fob

No spare means you need both a new key cut and the immobilizer reprogrammed — we quote both parts of that job upfront so there’s no confusion.

Key Snapped in the Ignition

Older or worn keys can shear off under normal turning pressure — extraction is usually faster and cheaper than people expect.

Just Bought a Used Car

Not sure how many key fobs the previous owner still has? A programmed spare or a reprogram can close that gap.

OUR PROCESS

What Happens When You Call for a Vehicle

  1. You call. Tell us your vehicle’s make, model, and what’s going on.
  2. We tell you which job you actually need — a cut key, a programmed fob, or both — and quote it upfront.
  3. We confirm the worst-case price before driving out if the job may turn out more complex.
  4. We confirm again on arrival, out loud or by text, before starting.
  5. We do the job using tools safe for your vehicle’s paint, glass, and electronics.
  6. You pay the confirmed price. No blank authorization forms, ever.
AUTOMOTIVE FAQ

Common Questions About Car Locksmith Service

Can you make a car key without the original?

In most cases, yes — for most vehicles we can cut a new key and, where the vehicle requires it, program the transponder chip separately, using your vehicle’s identification rather than needing the original key present.

Will you damage my car getting the door open?

We use non-destructive entry tools designed to be safe for paint and window seals. We never use a coat hanger, wedge tool, or force — those are the methods that cause real damage.

Do you work on all car makes and models?

We cover most domestic and import makes on the road in Dearborn. If you’re unsure whether your specific vehicle is covered, ask when you call — we’ll tell you honestly before dispatching.

What’s the difference between cutting a key and programming a fob?

Cutting a key is a mechanical job — shaping metal to match your lock. Programming a transponder or fob is an electronic job — pairing a chip to your vehicle’s immobilizer system. Many vehicles need both, and we quote them separately so it’s clear what you’re paying for.
