Lost your only key? We cut and program a new one at your car, usually within the hour. No tow, no dealer appointment.
Losing your only car key does not have to mean a tow truck and a week without your car. Locksmith on Wheels is a mobile auto locksmith serving Atlanta and 20+ surrounding cities, and our vans carry the same cutting and programming equipment a dealership uses. We come to your driveway, office lot, or parking deck, cut a fresh key, program it to your vehicle, and test it on a full start cycle before we leave.
Prices start at $129 for a standard key with cutting and programming included, and every job is quoted flat and confirmed up front before we touch the car. Compare that to the dealer route: $400 to $1,000 or more, a tow to get there, and a three to seven day wait for an appointment. From Decatur to Marietta and Alpharetta, our average response is 15 to 30 minutes.
Need something else? We also handle ignition lock repair, car lockouts, and key fob programming, and we work on nearly every make including Acura, Toyota, Honda, Audi, and Volkswagen.
Most cars built since the late 1990s use a chipped key that has to be paired with the immobilizer before the engine will start. We cut the blade to your lock and program the chip on-site, so the key both turns and starts.
The all-in-one key with lock and unlock buttons built into the head. We supply the correct part number for your trim and year, cut it, and program both the transponder and the remote functions before testing them with you.
Proximity smart keys are programmed with professional diagnostic equipment, and factory software where a specific vehicle requires it. We test the full cycle: door unlock, proximity detection, and push-button start.
No working key at all is not a dead end. We originate a key from your lock or VIN, program it from scratch, and can delete the lost keys from the vehicle's memory as an optional service so an old key cannot start your car.
The cheapest key you will ever buy is the one you order before you need it. If you are down to a single key, a spare cut and programmed while we are already on-site costs a fraction of an emergency all-keys-lost call.
Snapped a key in the door or the ignition? We remove the broken piece without damaging the cylinder and cut a fresh working key on the spot. See our ignition lock repair page if the cylinder itself is worn.
Upfront starting-at prices with cutting and programming included. Final price is always confirmed on-site before work begins.
Prices may vary depending on vehicle make, model, year, and system requirements. Final pricing is confirmed on-site before work begins. See the full price list.
Having these three things on hand keeps a lost-key call short and keeps the price where we quoted it.
A registration, title, or insurance card in your name, plus a photo ID. We verify ownership on every key job. It takes a minute and it is the reason this service is safe to offer at the curb.
Tell us these on the phone and we load the right blank before leaving the shop. The VIN is on the dashboard at the base of the windshield and on your insurance card, and it lets us pull the factory key code for most vehicles.
A parking deck level, an apartment building number, or a cross street saves our tech a lap around the block. If the vehicle cannot be reached or moved, say so when you call and we will plan for it.
The van comes to you. Same keys, same upfront prices, in every city below and the surrounding metro.
