Emergency Auto Key Copy: The Basics
Car Key Locksmith is a mobile automotive locksmith with one focus: showing up quickly and doing the job right. For car key duplication, that means making spare keys — cut and programmed — while you still have a working key, with a firm price agreed before we start.
Calls from Levittown, Franklin Square and Uniondale keep a technician close by most of the day.
Other Calls We Take
Besides car key duplication, our Nassau County technicians handle:
- Toyota and Lexus laser cut keys and smart keys

- Remote repair and car key repair, often far cheaper than a new key
Why Experience Matters
Car Key Locksmith is a local business, not a national call center. Since 2001 we have answered our own phones, quoted our own jobs and sent our own technicians.
Plenty has changed in the trade since 2001 — new keys, new locks, new technology. We have kept up with all of it, so you get current equipment and current know-how.
All Kinds of Car Keys
Domestic, Asian or European, we have you covered: Kia, Lexus, Jeep, Land Rover, Toyota, Dodge, Acura and Jaguar, among others. We handle basic metal keys, push-to-start smart keys, proximity fobs and flip keys. See our Toyota, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram and Land Rover & Jaguar pages for brand details.
Towns We Serve
Our mobile technicians cover every town in Nassau County and much of Suffolk County, plus Queens. We also reach drivers at JFK Airport, Jones Beach, Resorts World Casino and UBS Arena. Find your town on our service area page.

Upfront Pricing
We keep pricing simple and upfront. It depends on:

- How many spares you want
Compared with the dealer, most drivers save both money and time — and skip the tow. Call (516) 750-0433 for an exact quote — it takes a minute.
Locksmith Tips
- Be careful with cheap online fobs — many are the wrong frequency for your car.
- Replace key fob batteries every couple of years, before they fail.
- If a smart key dies, look for a hidden metal blade inside it.
- Note where you are parked — a cross street or landmark helps us find you fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a hardware-store copy start my car?
Usually not. Most cars since the late 1990s need a programmed transponder chip, which a plain cut copy doesn't have.
Do you repair remote head keys?
Yes. Honda and Toyota remote head repair is one of our most common jobs — a new shell, buttons or blade often costs far less than a new key.
Is it cheaper than the dealer?
Usually, yes — and faster, because there is no tow, no parts order and no appointment. You get the price before we come out.
Why get a spare before I lose my key?
Adding a key while you still have one is far simpler and cheaper than an all-keys-lost replacement — often a fraction of the cost.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed locksmith in New York State, every technician is insured, and we verify ownership before every job.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your location, the year, make and model, and your ID with the registration or title for when the technician arrives.
