Lost car keys in Los Angeles
Making a new key
With proof the car is yours, a lot of these jobs happen right in the driveway or lot — no tow needed. A basic spare is quick; programming a smart key from scratch takes longer, and the person who calls will tell you which one yours is.
Say whether it's a metal key, a remote head key, or a push-to-start smart key. That's the difference between a five-minute cut and a full programming session, and it keeps the quote honest.
What happens next
- You submit your ZIP and a short note about what happened.
- We send it to locksmiths who cover that ZIP, or nearby.
- Expect a call from a locksmith. They'll confirm the price and arrival time. You pay the locksmith directly.
What to include
- Year, make, and model
- A spare, a full replacement, or ignition trouble
- Somewhere safe the car can sit while it's cut

If no key works at all, tell dispatch upfront — parts and labor differ from unlocking a cabin with keys visible inside.
