Automotive Locksmith

Automotive Locksmith Services

Modern vehicles rely on a mix of cut keys, transponder chips, and remote fobs — and when one of those stops working, you need someone who can diagnose it in your driveway or a parking lot, not just cut a blank. Highland Lakes Lock & Key provides mobile automotive locksmith service across the Highland Lakes region: car lockouts, key and fob replacement, and ignition-related lock work, without a tow truck or a dealership wait.

What our automotive locksmiths handle

Automotive locksmith work covers more than the classic image of a slim-jim and a coat hanger. Today's calls typically fall into two categories: getting into a locked vehicle, and creating or reprogramming a working key or fob when one is lost, broken, or malfunctioning. Both require different tools and, increasingly, different electronics knowledge than they did a generation ago.

Our mobile technicians carry the equipment to unlock most makes and models on-site without damaging paint, weatherstripping, or window seals, and the equipment to cut and program replacement keys and key fobs for a wide range of vehicles — often for meaningfully less than a dealership charges for the same part and programming.

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to call a locksmith or the dealership for a replacement car key?

For most makes and models, an independent automotive locksmith costs less than a dealership for the same transponder key or fob, mainly because dealerships route key replacement through a service department with higher overhead. We're happy to give you a quote over the phone once you tell us your vehicle's year, make, and model.

Do you come to me, or do I need to bring my car somewhere?

We come to you. Whether you're at home, at work, or stranded in a parking lot, our mobile units carry the tools needed for most lockouts and key/fob work on-site.
