Overview

What Our Mobile Car Locksmiths Do

Our mobile car locksmiths get Houston drivers back on the road without a tow, whether the keys are locked inside, lost completely, snapped off in the ignition or trapped in a fob that stopped working. The van carries key cutting machines, programming tools and blanks for most makes and models, so the job usually gets finished in the same parking spot where the problem started.

Houston is a driving city, and that makes a car key problem more than an inconvenience. Getting stranded outside the Galleria, at a job site in Katy or in the NRG Stadium lot after a Texans game means lost hours and, often, a tow bill on top of a dealership appointment days away. A good local car locksmiths team fixes that where you are. Summer heat also drains key fob batteries faster, which is why so many "my car won't unlock" calls come in July and August.

Our customers' reviews tell the story better than a sales pitch. One driver had called over ten companies before we replaced the key housing and cut new keys for her 2000 VW Beetle. Another needed an aftermarket Avital fob programmed after the old one got damaged. We also work on BMWs, Minis and plenty of pickup trucks. Every job is done under our Texas DPS company license, B20251.

What's Included

Car Key and Lockout Services We Handle On Site

From a simple lockout to a full lost key replacement, here's what our car locksmiths cover.

Car Lockouts

Keys in the ignition, on the seat or in the trunk. We open the vehicle without damaging the door, window seals or paint.

Lost Car Key Replacement

Lost every copy? We cut and program a new key on site after verifying the vehicle belongs to you.

Key Fob and Transponder Programming

Replacement fobs, spare remotes and transponder chip keys programmed to your vehicle while you wait.

Push to Start Smart Keys

Proximity keys for newer vehicles, programmed so the car recognizes the new key and forgets any lost ones where possible.

Ignition Repair and Broken Key Extraction

A key snapped off in the ignition or a cylinder that won't turn. We extract the pieces and repair or replace the ignition.

Spare Car Keys

A backup key costs far less than an emergency. We cut spares for most makes so the next lockout is a two minute phone call to your spouse.

When to Call a Car Locksmith in Houston

  • You can see your keys through the window, and they can see you.

  • Your only key disappeared somewhere between the grocery store and the gym.

  • The fob works some days, doesn't on others, and replacing the battery didn't fix it.

  • The key broke in the ignition, or the ignition won't turn at all.

  • The dealership quoted you a week for a new key and a price you're still thinking about.

My key was no longer wanting to turn on my 2000 VW Beetle and I called over 10 companies and no one worked on VW, I am so grateful to have found A&M, Milton came out to see what I needed and gave me the price and ordered everything right away, Rick came out to replace the housing and make me new keys, everything works amazing and I am very happy to have my bug back 😊 Thank you guys so much for being so kind and doing wonderful work. Appreciate it very much! I would highly recommend! A+++ 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

God bless this man. I was having the worst week in years. Car broke down. Locked keys in the car. He gave a reasonable price. Came in about 35 minutes. Didn't charge me. Honest, professional, and nice. Give this man your business.

Questions

Car Locksmith FAQs

Yes. Our car locksmiths can make a new key without the original for most vehicles by cutting it to your car's key code and programming it on site. We verify that you own the vehicle first, so have your ID and registration or title ready when the tech arrives.

A car locksmith is often cheaper than the dealership for replacement keys and fobs, and it's almost always faster because there's no tow and no appointment wait. Some newer vehicles do require dealer programming, and when that's the case, we'll tell you on the phone before you pay for anything.

Yes. Our emergency car locksmiths handle lockouts and lost keys that can't wait until tomorrow. If a child or pet is locked in a hot car, call 911 first, because Houston heat makes that an emergency responders situation. Then call us for the lock and key.

Unlocking your car with professional tools shouldn't damage it. Our techs use vehicle entry tools designed to protect door panels, weather stripping and paint. Coat hangers and slim jims from a friend's trunk are a different story, which is how a lockout turns into a window repair.

Many online fobs can be programmed, but not all. There are some aftermarket remotes that will not work for your car or truck. Please provide the part number prior to the tech's arrival so we can let you know if it will work or not before you pay for a trip that could be a disappointment. 

The top Houston car locksmiths are also licensed by the Texas DPS, tend to provide an estimate prior to making an appearance, and have reviews that reference certain vehicles. Inquire if they are able to cut and program your key on location. When the answer is "we'll order it", continue to call.
