Automotive Locksmith
Lost your car key, locked it inside, or need a transponder key programmed? Locksmith Luz handles automotive lockouts, key cutting, and key fob programming for most makes and models across California.
Modern vehicle keys are far more complex than the simple metal keys of the past. Today's cars use laser-cut high-security keys, transponder chips, proximity fobs, and push-button start systems that all require specialized equipment to duplicate or replace. Locksmith Luz invests in the latest automotive key programming hardware so we can serve most vehicles without requiring a dealership trip that can cost two to three times as much.
Our mobile units carry key cutting machines capable of handling standard, laser-cut, and high-security automotive blanks, along with diagnostic programming tools compatible with most domestic, European, and Asian vehicle makes. Whether you need a spare key for a 2010 Honda Accord or a replacement proximity key for a 2023 BMW, we can assess your vehicle on-site and give you an immediate quote.
Auto lockout service is available 24 hours a day throughout California. We use wedge and air bag entry tools that open car doors without scratching the paint or damaging the weather seal. Locksmith Luz automotive service also covers ignition repairs, trunk lockouts, and broken key extractions.

Common Questions
Can you make a car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. Using your vehicle identification number and proof of ownership, we can cut and program a new key even when no original key exists. Some high-security and luxury vehicles require dealer-only programming, and we will tell you upfront if that is the case for your car.
Is using a locksmith cheaper than the dealership for a car key?
Typically yes, often significantly so. Dealerships charge for parts, programming labor, and service fees that add up quickly. Locksmith Luz provides upfront pricing and comes to you, saving you a tow as well.
What do I need to provide for a car key replacement?
We will need your vehicle identification number, proof of ownership such as the title or registration, and a valid photo ID. This verification protects you and ensures we are only cutting keys for the rightful owner.
