Emergency Auto Key Copy in Locust Valley, NY 11560 – Licensed & Insured
From remote head repair to dealer-level programming — spare car keys cut and programmed at your car.
Need emergency auto key copy in Locust Valley, NY 11560? Car Key Locksmith is a 24/7 mobile automotive locksmith serving Locust Valley, and car key duplication means making spare keys — cut and programmed — while you still have a working key.
Most jobs are finished in a single visit, right where the car is parked — at home, at work or at the roadside.

We also serve Oyster Bay and Glen Cove and UBS Arena.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
What if I have lost every key and have no spare?
We can still make a new key. With your ID and the registration or title, we originate a key from the VIN or the locks and program it to the car.
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.
Will you tell me the price before you come?
Always. You get the price on the phone, before a technician is dispatched.
Can you copy a push-to-start smart key?
Yes. We program an additional smart key to your car while your existing key is present.
Can you do emergency auto key copy in Locust Valley on site?
Yes. We are fully mobile and come to your car anywhere in Locust Valley, NY 11560, so there is no towing involved.
