Mobile Ford Key Ignition Replacement

Since 2001 we have learned that drivers want three things: a fair price, a realistic arrival time and work that lasts. That is how we approach ignition repair & replacement.

The technician checks ownership, explains the options and gets to work at your car.

We also cover Freeport, Glen Head and Woodmere.

Beyond Ford Key Ignition Replacement

We also take care of:

  • Remote repair and car key repair, often far cheaper than a new key
  • Ignition repair and replacement, including stuck and worn ignition cylinders
  • Ford FDRS dealer-level programming for newer Ford and Lincoln vehicles
  • Honda laser cut keys and Acura keys cut and programmed
  • Toyota remote head repair and key fob shell replacement

Save Time When You Call

  • Don't force a key that won't turn; check that the steering lock isn't engaged first.
  • If a key breaks in the lock, leave the piece in and call us rather than digging at it.

More Than 20 Years of Locksmith Work

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.

What Affects the Price

We quote every job upfront on the phone, so you know the price before anyone is dispatched. What the price depends on:

  • The make and model and its steering column design
  • Whether new keys must be cut and programmed to match
  • Whether the cylinder can be repaired or must be replaced

There are no hidden call-out fees: what we quote is what you pay. Call (516) 750-0433 for an exact quote — it takes a minute.

Which Cars We Work On

Domestic, Asian or European, we have you covered: Volkswagen, Acura, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Ford, Chevrolet, Jaguar and Mazda, among others. We handle remote-head keys, proximity fobs, basic metal keys and flip keys.
