Automotive Locksmith in Peabody, MA
Locked out, lost your only key, fob won’t pair, or the ignition refuses to turn right when you need to leave? Our mobile team handles modern vehicle security with care and precision—cutting keys on site, programming transponders and smart fobs, repairing ignitions, extracting broken keys, and opening cars without damage. We service daily commuters, family SUVs, work vans, and commercial fleets with fast arrival, professional tooling, and clear communication from the first call to the final test.
From classic metal blades to encrypted proximity fobs, we support a wide cross-section of vehicles. Our goal is to get you moving again with clean, verifiable work and parts you can count on.
Non-destructive door and trunk opening using professional tools and procedures that safeguard weatherstripping, glass, and electronics. We verify ownership, unlock quickly, and hand you the wheel without scratches or pry marks.
Lost your only key? We can originate a new blade from lock code, decode the cylinder, or access approved data sources to cut an accurate key. For spares, we duplicate and test fitment before leaving, so you know it works.
Program chip keys, remote-head keys, proximity fobs, and push-to-start credentials for supported vehicles. We add and delete keys, pair remotes, and confirm that immobilizer and remote functions work as expected.
Sidewinder or laser-cut blades require specialized equipment and accurate bitting. We cut and finish these keys precisely, then verify smooth insertion and reliable start-up.
Worn wafers, stuck tumblers, or a key that turns sometimes then stalls can strand you at the worst moment. We rebuild or replace the cylinder, rekey to match your door key when possible, and test for repeatable starts.
Extract blades snapped in doors, trunks, or ignitions without damaging the cylinder. After removal, we cut a fresh key and evaluate the lock to prevent repeat breakage.
Battery testing, case replacement, button repair, and fob reprogramming. If the remote PCB is beyond repair, we provide compatible replacements and pair them on site.
Repair or replace damaged cylinders, adjust linkages, and align latches so doors and lids close and lock with a confident click no slamming required.
Keys for popular two- and four-wheel platforms, including seat locks, fuel caps, and ignition cylinders. We can originate, duplicate, and help secure accessories and storage cases.
Vans and light trucks keep your business moving. We standardize keys across units, maintain key inventories, and schedule service windows that minimize route disruption.
We recommend a “two-key” policy for every driver – one primary, one spare stored safely with periodic fob battery refreshes. Ask for a bundle when we’re already on site to save time and cost.
We explain immobilizer behavior, factory alarm quirks, and simple habits like shielding your fob in certain environments to reduce accidental lockouts and interference.
When you’re stranded, you need skill, speed, and a calm plan. Here’s how we make a rough day easier.
We confirm availability, provide realistic arrival windows, and text updates so you’re never guessing. If traffic spikes, you’ll know right away.
We prioritize non-destructive entry and protect trim, weather seals, and glass. Hardware is tested twice before we leave.
For supported makes, we pair transponders and proximity fobs on site and verify both start and remote functions.
We work in your neighborhoods and care about long-term trust. If something needs a tweak, we make it right.
1) Verify & Assess: We confirm vehicle ownership, gather make/model/year, and identify the exact problem—lockout, no key, damaged ignition, or fob failure. We also check if a spare exists and whether you’re parked safely.
2) Plan & Quote: We outline your options and pricing before we begin—unlock only, key origination, programming, or ignition work. If your vehicle requires specialized parts, we explain lead times and temporary solutions.
3) Execute: Using professional entry methods, calibrated key machines, and manufacturer-specific programming steps, we complete the work and test operation multiple times—unlock/lock cycles, smooth key insertion, and engine start.
4) Prevent: Before we leave, we recommend spare keys, fob batteries, and simple habits (like verifying keys before closing the trunk) so you’re less likely to need emergency help again.
A few small habits prevent most urgent calls and keep costs down.
Keep a spare at home or with a trusted person. If your car uses a proximity fob, store the spare far from the garage door to avoid interference and accidental unlocks.
Weak coin cells cause intermittent starts and lock/unlock failures. Replace them proactively—many use CR2032 or CR2025, but check your manual.
Some vehicles re-lock when the trunk closes if no fob is detected inside. Place keys in your pocket before loading bags to avoid a classic lockout scenario.
If insertion feels gritty or the key sticks on removal, the cylinder may be wearing out. Forcing it can snap the blade—call before it becomes an extraction.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from pricing ranges to how programming actually works.
Yes. We decode the lock or use approved data sources to cut an accurate blade, then program the transponder or proximity credential when required.
Our methods are designed to be non-destructive. We protect trim and weather seals and verify all functions before we leave.
For supported makes, yes. We pair proximity fobs, verify start, and test remote functions. We’ll clarify support when you call with your VIN.
We can repair or replace the cylinder and rekey it to match your existing door key when possible, reducing the number of keys you carry.
