What should I know before calling an automotive locksmith?

Have the vehicle location or ZIP code, the year, make and model, what happened to the key or fob, and whether any working key remains. Proof of identity and vehicle ownership or written authorization is required before key origination or programming. Call or text (703) 855-4041.

Compatibility comes first

The vehicle year, make and model are necessary because smart-key systems and programming procedures vary across generations and trims.

Working key vs. all keys lost

A spare-key request can differ from a situation where every proximity key is missing. Tell the locksmith whether any recognized key remains.

Bring the right authorization

Proof that you own or are authorized to request key service for the vehicle may be required before eligible programming work.
