Locksmith Liberty replaces lost, broken and stolen car keys anywhere in Los Angeles, on site, 24 hours a day. We cut and program transponder keys, laser cut keys, smart keys and remote fobs on site, typically below dealer pricing. Every key is priced by key type and quoted before dispatch.
Losing the only key to your car in Los Angeles used to mean a tow to the dealer and a day or two without the vehicle. Our mobile technicians instead come to the car, whether it is in a Koreatown parking structure, on the street in Mid-Wilshire, in a Hollywood driveway or in a Santa Monica beach lot, retrieve the key code from the VIN, cut the key and program it to the vehicle while you wait.
Bring your registration or insurance card and a photo ID; California licensed locksmiths must verify ownership before cutting a key. We have served Los Angeles drivers for over 10 years, and our automotive locksmith team also handles lockouts and ignition repair on the same visit. We cut and program keys for these makes and more:
Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Chevrolet, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Subaru and Jeep are covered as well, along with box trucks, delivery vans and corporate fleets. Motorcycle and scooter keys for Honda, Yamaha, Kymco and Vespa are cut from the lock or code. Fleet managers can pair this with our commercial locksmith services for the building keys.
Push-to-start smart keys talk to the car’s immobilizer with a rolling code, so a lost fob cannot be duplicated from a blank; it has to be programmed to the vehicle with diagnostic equipment. We carry that equipment on the van for most Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, GM, Mazda and Lexus models, and for many BMW, Audi and VW models.
When all keys are lost, we also erase the missing fob from the car’s memory so it can no longer start the engine. Programming a smart key is done on site in a single visit. If you only need a spare, bring the working key and the job is faster and cheaper. See how to program a car key without the original for what to expect.
Locksmith Liberty prices car keys by key type, including on-site programming: a plain metal key with no chip, a basic transponder key, a remote head key, and a smart key or proximity fob each have their own rate. That is usually below the dealer, and you receive a firm upfront quote by phone before dispatch. Factors that move the price:
If you have an older vehicle with a worn key that still works, duplicating it now costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost job later. Read about the four most common types of car keys to identify which one you have, then call (213) 314-1971 for an exact quote.
Laser cut (sidewinder) keys, transponder chip keys, remote head keys and switchblade flip keys are cut on a computerized machine from the key code, not traced from a worn original, so the new key fits like the factory key. Remotes are programmed to lock, unlock and open the trunk before we leave.
We replace keys for cars, trucks and SUVs across Mid-Wilshire and Miracle Mile, Koreatown, Hollywood and West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, Culver City and Santa Monica, 24 hours a day. Lost keys at night? Our emergency locksmith dispatches the same van.

Most transponder keys and smart fobs are programmed in a single visit once the technician is on site, including cutting the emergency blade. A duplicate made from a working key is faster still. Dispatch across central Los Angeles is fast at any hour.
