    Our Automotive Locksmith Services

    Lock and Tech USA’s automotive locksmith division handles the full range of vehicle access and security needs on-site, at your location, across NYC. Because our service is fully mobile, there’s no towing and no dealership delay — our units carry key-cutting and programming equipment, key-blank inventory, and specialized tools to complete most jobs in a single visit. Our automotive service covers:

    • Emergency car lockouts and damage-free vehicle entry
    • Lost or stolen car key replacement, cut and programmed on-site
    • Transponder, proximity, and smart-key programming
    • Key fob replacement and reprogramming
    • Broken key extraction from doors, trunks, and ignitions
    • Ignition repair and cylinder replacement

    We service passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and commercial vehicles from all manufacturers, and dispatch the nearest available mobile unit to reach you quickly.

    Mobile Automotive Locksmith

    Every service we offer is mobile — a licensed technician travels to your vehicle with a fully equipped van and resolves the issue where you are, without a tow. When you search for a mobile car locksmith or mobile automotive locksmith near you, that on-site capability is exactly what saves you time and money compared with towing to a dealership.

    Mobile Service vs. Towing to a Dealership

    For most automotive locksmith needs, mobile service is faster, more affordable, and more convenient than towing your car to a dealership:

    • Time: we complete most jobs on-site in a single visit, while a dealership route means arranging a tow, waiting for an appointment, and leaving the car for service — often several days.
    • Cost: mobile service avoids tow fees entirely, which alone can add a large chunk to a dealership key or ignition job.
    • Convenience: no towing to arrange, no alternate transportation, no time off for a dealership visit — you stay with your vehicle throughout.
    • Availability: our mobile units run 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, when dealership service departments are closed.

    A dealership may still be necessary for certain high-security vehicles requiring proprietary programming or for warranty-covered work. For everything else, our mobile automotive locksmith service is the practical choice.

    Car Key Services

    Lost your keys, need a spare, or dealing with a dead fob or a chip that won’t start the engine? We cut and program car keys, key fobs, transponder chips, and smart/proximity keys on-site for most makes and models — faster and more affordable than a dealership. See our dedicated car key locksmith service for key replacement, duplication, and programming details.

    Car Lockout & Door Entry

    Locked out with the keys inside, a dead fob, or a broken key in the door? Our technicians use non-destructive tools — air wedges, long-reach, and bypass instruments — to open your vehicle without harming the paint, weatherstripping, or lock. For full details on car lockout and door entry, see our locksmith to unlock car service.

    Vehicles We Service

    Our technicians work with all major car brands and key types, from traditional metal keys to advanced smart-key systems, on domestic and foreign vehicles from the 1990s through current model years. That includes common makes such as Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, GMC, and Chrysler, as well as luxury makes including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Cadillac, Infiniti, Acura, and Volkswagen.

    We handle multiple key types — traditional metal keys, transponder chip keys, key fobs, flip and switchblade keys, smart keys, and proximity keys — and program push-to-start systems and keyless-entry remotes across supported vehicles. For specialty vehicles, classic cars, or high-security systems, call ahead with your year, make, and model so we can confirm our mobile unit can handle it.

    Our Process

    1. You call and describe your vehicle, location, and the issue; we dispatch the nearest mobile technician.
    2. On arrival, we verify your ownership or authority over the vehicle before any work begins.
    3. We assess the vehicle and quote the full price — labor and any parts — before starting.
    4. With your approval, we complete the work on-site and test every function before we leave.
    5. You pay a partial deposit up front, with the balance due on completion.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to tow my car to get service?

    No. Our automotive locksmith vans are fully equipped to perform lockouts, key cutting and programming, extraction, and ignition work at your vehicle’s location. We bring the key-cutting machines, programming equipment, and tools directly to you, eliminating towing costs and delays.

    Can you make a car key without the original?

    Yes. Our technicians cut and program new keys on-site even when all keys are lost, generating keys that match your vehicle’s locks and computer system. For full key replacement, duplication, and programming, see our car key locksmith service.

    Do you work nights, weekends, and holidays?

    Yes. Our mobile automotive locksmith service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays, across all five NYC boroughs and surrounding areas.

    Which vehicle makes do you service?

    We work with all major domestic and foreign brands — including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Kia, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, and more — for vehicles from the 1990s to present. For specialty vehicles or uncommon makes, call ahead with your year, make, and model to confirm.

    Can you program a push-to-start or smart key fob?

    Yes. Our technicians program and replace smart keys, proximity keys, and push-to-start fobs on-site for most makes and models, along with keyless-entry remotes and their remote functions.

    Do I need to show proof of ownership?

    Yes. Before servicing any vehicle we verify ownership to protect against unauthorized access. Acceptable proof includes vehicle registration, the title, or an insurance card in your name, with a driver’s license that matches the ownership documents.

    Will service damage my vehicle?

    No. Our technicians use non-destructive entry methods and manufacturer-standard programming procedures, accessing vehicles without damaging locks, paint, or weatherstripping. Destructive methods are used only as an absolute last resort in a genuine safety emergency, and only with your approval.

The work was done efficiently and cleanly, using up-to-date technology that feels both secure and forward-thinking. If you’re looking for reliability, expertise, and real customer service (yes, it still exists), Lock and Tech is the right choice.

    Hired this company to move our intercom system from inside to outside and also to install a new magnetic door lock on the outside glass door. This company did a great job and did a professional installation. They even helped us set up the AxTrax software for free to help manage access for our key-fob system. Recommended!!

    Gabriel and his team installed a new intercom system in my building. They are so professional and responsive. They did the job quickly yet with precision. It is such an improvement from what we had, I can’t believe we waited so long to do it. I highly recommend Lock and Tech!

    It was nice to have a professional company install my intercom system. Much better than these "save a dollar" places that don't have a store and make a mess. But this place has smart, nice people who are professional and know what they're doing. I highly recommend Lock and Tech!
