Auto Locksmith Pricing & How It Works

Intro

Modern vehicle security systems vary by year, make, and model.
Because of this, pricing is based on the specific vehicle and the work required — not flat guesses.
Our process is designed to be clear, fair, and approval-based so there are no surprises.

Mobile Service & Evaluation

We provide on-site mobile service to evaluate your vehicle’s security system.
This allows us to determine key count, system status, and the correct programming method.

Diagnostic & Security Access

Modern vehicles require system access and verification before any programming can be performed.
A diagnostic and security access fee covers the time and tools required to evaluate the system and determine what’s needed.

This fee is applied toward the total cost if programming is successful.

Programming

Once the evaluation is complete, we provide the exact price for programming based on the vehicle’s requirements.
No programming is performed without customer approval.

Parts

When applicable, customers are given options between aftermarket and OEM keys so they can choose what best fits their needs and budget.

Typical Pricing Factors

Final pricing depends on:

  • Vehicle year, make, and model 
  • Whether a working key is available 
  • Required access method 
  • Key type (OEM vs aftermarket) 
  • Distance for mobile service

What We Don't Do

We don’t guess prices.
We don’t perform work without approval.
We don’t charge for programming unless it’s authorized.

Payment & Authorization

Diagnostic and access fees are required prior to service.
Programming and parts are only charged after approval.

Payment Policy

Diagnostic & Security Access Fee
Diagnostic and security access fees are required prior to service. This fee covers on-site evaluation of the vehicle’s security system and determination of required programming.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Cancellations
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us as soon as possible.
No-Shows / Late Cancellations
Diagnostic fees cover reserved time and on-site evaluation. Missed appointments or cancellations after dispatch may result in the diagnostic fee being retained.
