Automotive Locksmith NYC — 24/7 Mobile Service
Most automotive calls we get start the same way: the only key is gone, the key is locked inside, or the ignition will not turn — and the dealer wants the car towed. We cut, program, and repair at the curb across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. This past May we did exactly that for a driver at Wyckoff Ave & Myrtle Ave in Bushwick: all keys lost, transponder programmed on-site, no tow. Photos on our recent jobs page. Licensed NYC #2096389-DCA. Call (917) 495-1990.
Mobile Automotive Scope
Car lockouts — mobile service 24/7. Key replacement — all keys lost, no tow. Transponder keys cut and programmed at the car. Fob replacement and programming. Smart keys for push-to-start. Remote head keys. Ignition repair and replacement. Trunk unlock. Broken key extraction. One van, full diagnostic and cutting equipment.
The Bushwick Job — Typical All-Keys-Lost
Driver at Wyckoff Ave & Myrtle Ave, zero working keys, dealer quoted tow plus wait. We pulled the code from the vehicle, cut a blade, programmed the transponder through the OBD port, tested start — same visit. That is the workflow for most makes when you call us instead of the dealership.
Honest Triage
Key turns but engine will not crank, security light off: probably battery or starter — mechanic first. Key will not turn: ignition cylinder. Remote works, no start: immobilizer or key. We ask on the phone and tell you when the problem is not ours — even when that means no ticket for us.
Programming and Erasing Stolen Keys
Programming adds keys and fobs to the immobilizer; we erase lost and stolen keys from memory by default on replacements — see car key programming. Skipping erase means a found key still starts your car.
Make Spares Before You Need Them
Duplication with one working key is moderate cost. All-keys-lost is roughly double. A spare made today is the best insurance we sell.
Fleet, Rideshare and Delivery
Drivers who lose the only key lose a workday — we treat fleet and rideshare lockouts as urgent. Vans, sedans, and delivery trucks across domestic and import brands. All-keys-lost programming at the curb means the vehicle returns to route same day instead of sitting at a dealer lot. Spare keys for fleet managers keyed alike reduce repeat calls; we keep codes on file for repeat copies.
Emergency Automotive
Lockouts and all-keys-lost land in emergency dispatch — parking garages, street spots, office lots, 2 AM curbs. We come to the car; you do not come to us unless you prefer the West Village shop for a simple duplicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a car key if I lost all my keys?
Yes — all-keys-lost is routine. The Bushwick job in May had no working key; we cut and programmed at the car and the driver left same visit.
Do I need to tow to the dealer?
No for most makes — we program at the curb through the OBD port. Rare exotics occasionally need a fob ordered; we say so on the phone.
Do you handle push-to-start smart keys?
Yes — supply, program, and all-keys-lost recovery for proximity fobs. See smart key replacement for details.
My key is stuck in the ignition — is that a key problem?
Usually ignition cylinder wear, not the key — see ignition repair. We diagnose before selling you keys you may not need.
