Why Truckee Chooses Us
Key & Fob Replacement
Lost every key? Replacement keys and remote fobs are cut and programmed on-site for most makes and models.
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 Truckee auto locksmith opens it without damaging the vehicle.
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.
Common Car Lock & Key Problems
Across Truckee, 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 Truckee, usually the same day, and handles most key and ignition work for less.

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.
Can a locksmith make a car key with no original in Truckee?▾
Yes. Even if every key is lost, a Truckee 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.
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 Truckee.
