Why Portola Valley Chooses Us
All Makes & Models
Domestic, import, older, or newer — the tools and blanks cover the vast majority of vehicles on the road.
Transponder Programming
Chip keys are programmed to your vehicle so they start the engine, not just turn the lock.
Cheaper Than the Dealer
On-site key work usually beats dealership pricing and skips the tow.
Car Lockouts
Keys locked inside, or a door that won't budge — a Portola Valley auto locksmith opens it without damaging the vehicle.
Common Car Lock & Key Problems
Across Portola Valley, the calls we see most are keys locked inside the car, a lost or stolen only-key, a key that turns but won't start the engine, a worn key that no longer catches, and broken keys snapped off in the door or ignition. Each of these has a roadside fix that doesn't require towing.
Why Call a Locksmith Instead of the Dealer
Dealerships can make keys, but it often means towing the car, waiting days for an appointment, and paying a premium. A mobile auto locksmith comes to your spot in Portola Valley, usually the same day, and handles most key and ignition work for less.
Keys, Fobs & Transponders Explained
A basic metal key only works the lock; a transponder key also carries a chip that must be programmed to the car to start it; a smart fob adds remote and push-button start. A capable locksmith handles all three — cutting the physical blade and programming the electronics so the key fully works.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a replacement car key?▾
It depends on whether you need a basic key, a transponder, or a smart fob, plus the make and model. You'll get a firm quote before work begins, and it's typically below dealer pricing.
Do I need to tow my car to get a new key?▾
Almost never. The whole advantage of a mobile auto locksmith is that the work comes to your car, wherever it's parked in Portola Valley.
Can a locksmith make a car key with no original in Portola Valley?▾
Yes. Even if every key is lost, a Portola Valley auto locksmith can generate a new key from the vehicle's locks or VIN, then cut and program it on-site.
Can you program a key fob for my car?▾
In most cases, yes. Mobile programming equipment pairs new fobs and transponder keys to your vehicle so they unlock and start it.
My key is stuck in the ignition — can that be fixed on-site?▾
Usually. A stuck or spinning key often points to a worn ignition cylinder, which a locksmith can frequently repair or replace at your location in Portola Valley.
