Key Replacement in San Luis Obispo for Lost or Damaged Keys
A missing key can keep you from driving, getting inside your home, or opening your business. Call first and tell us where you are and what kind of key you need; we’ll send a mobile locksmith to you.
Our service area includes San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, and Templeton. We serve Central Coast towns within 30 miles, and people farther out get the next available locksmith.
All car keys are lost
You don’t need to bring in an existing key: we make a new car key on site when all keys are lost. Tell us the vehicle is keyless before we head out so we understand the situation.
A car key is damaged or no longer works
A cracked key or a key that does not work can leave you unable to use your vehicle. Describe what changed and whether you still have another working key; that helps us identify the service you need.
You need a spare key
Getting a spare key made while you still have a working one can give you another option before the original goes missing. Tell us whether you need a car key or a key for a home or business.
A remote needs replacement or programming
A remote may need replacement, programming, or both, and those are separate services. Explain what the remote does and what has stopped working so we can identify the right request.
You are locked out as well as missing a key
Being locked out and needing a replacement key are related but distinct problems. Let us know both when you call; for a car lockout, see our car lockout service, or choose house lockout service for a home.
Key Types and Related Services We Can Handle
The service depends on what is missing or damaged and where the key is used. Tell us whether you need a key made, a remote programmed, or a lock service so we can respond to the actual problem.
- Car key replacement — We replace car keys, including when all keys are lost. For a car key made near me, our mobile service comes to your location rather than asking you to bring the vehicle to a shop.
- Lost car keys — A locksmith for a lost key can make a new car key on site when no working key remains. Share that all keys are lost when you call, since that is different from replacing a spare.
- Key fob replacement and programming — We offer key fob replacement and key fob programming. A replacement fob and programming are distinct parts of the service, so tell us whether you already have a fob.
- Key fob battery replacement — We also provide key fob battery replacement. Mention whether the fob has stopped working or its battery needs attention so we can understand what you are asking us to check.
- Car key repair — When a car key is damaged, we offer car key repair as well as replacement. Describe the damage and whether another key works before deciding which service to request.
- Key replacement for home or business — We offer key replacement alongside residential and commercial locksmith services. For a key or lock issue at a property, explain which door is affected and whether you can currently enter.
- Related lock services — A missing key may lead you to consider rekeying or changing the lock instead of making another key. We offer lock rekeying and lock changes; a lock change is priced separately and hardware costs extra.

What Happens After You Call for a Replacement Key
Calling first puts the key problem and your location at the start of the job. For a key service near me, you can reach us 24/7 and have a mobile locksmith come to you.
- Describe the key and location — Tell us whether the key is for a car, home, or business, what happened to it, and where the service is needed. For a vehicle, describe the key or fob and say whether any working keys remain.
- Confirm the service and price — We’ll identify whether the request is for a replacement key, fob programming, repair, or a lock service. The starting price depends on the service; see the pricing details below and ask for a quote for your specific job.
- Have the vehicle or affected door accessible — Keep the vehicle or the door with the key problem accessible for the mobile locksmith. If every car key is lost, tell us before the visit so we know a new key needs to be made on site.
- Complete the key service on site — We come to you to carry out the service you requested. For replacement keys, fobs, or locks, the work depends on the problem identified and whether you need a new key, programming, repair, or a lock change.
Key Replacement Cost Depends on the Service
Car key replacement starts at $110, and lost car keys start at $110. Key fob programming starts at $70. These are starting prices for different services, not a combined price for a replacement key and programming.
The $29 service call is $29. For comparison, car, house, and business lockouts start at $55; lock rekeying starts at $55 per lock, and a lock change starts at $85 plus hardware. The final service depends on whether you need a replacement key, programming, repair, or work on a lock. Request a quote with details about the key and where it is used.
