Car Key Replacement Without the Dealer

Dealers give you an appointment next week and expect the car brought to them. Millstone Locksmith Services comes to the car, wherever it is in San Marcos, and leaves you with a working key the same day.

Lost keys

A new key made and tested on site, in the same visit.

Damaged fobs

Cracked cases, dead batteries and failed boards fixed or replaced.

A car key call, start to finish

The job has four parts and none of them requires the car to be towed anywhere. This is how it runs from your call onward.

  1. What we ask on the phone

    What you drive and what is left of the keys. If the last key snapped, keep the pieces; they are useful.

  2. Proving the car is yours

    Identification and proof of ownership are checked before any key is cut. That is the whole reason the trade is trusted.

  3. Cutting and coding the key

    A fresh key is cut and coded on site. Nothing is sent away and nothing is ordered in on the usual vehicles.

  4. Testing, and the spare

    Tested, twice, before anyone leaves. If the old key is lost rather than broken, it can usually be erased so a finder cannot use it.

If the car is in a parking structure with a low ceiling or a tight bay, mention it on the call. It changes what the technician brings.
