Same-Day Lost Car Keys Found

A new key made from your VIN when every key is lost. Upfront quotes on the phone and a technician who comes to you.
Since 2001, Car Key Locksmith has helped drivers across Nassau County with lost car keys found. Our lost car key replacement is all about making a brand-new working key when every key is gone — even with no spare and no original to copy.
Car lockout, auto lockout or a key that won't turn in the ignition — one call covers it. As a mobile locksmith, we bring the workshop to your car — no tow, no dealership appointment and no waiting days for parts.
Below you will find what is included, how the visit works and what affects the price. Our route also takes in Hewlett and Manhasset — call from any of them.

Lost Car Keys Found Since 2001
Car Key Locksmith has been cutting keys and opening cars in Nassau County since 2001. Lost Car Key Replacement — making a brand-new working key when every key is gone — even with no spare and no original to copy — is one of the most common calls we get, and our technicians handle it at your car, usually in a single visit.
Good to Know
- Don't force a key that won't turn; check that the steering lock isn't engaged first.
- Note where you are parked — a cross street or landmark helps us find you fast.
- If a key breaks in the lock, leave the piece in and call us rather than digging at it.
Your Make, Your Key
Jeep, Jaguar, Hyundai, Infiniti, Dodge, GMC and Lexus — these are the makes we see every week, and our vans are stocked for them. Key types include proximity fobs, flip keys, basic metal keys, push-to-start smart keys and transponder chip keys.
Over Two Decades on Long Island
Our technicians are experienced locksmiths, not general handymen. Since 2001 Car Key Locksmith has focused on car keys and locks — and on coming to you.

Our Mobile Services
What you can expect:
- Lost keys erased from the car's memory where supported
- A new key originated from the VIN or by decoding your door lock — no original needed
- The lost key erased from the car's memory where supported, so it can't start the car if someone finds it
- Remote functions paired: lock, unlock, trunk and panic
- Transponder chip or smart key programmed to your car's immobilizer so it actually starts
- Family and fleet spares made in one trip
How We Price the Job
A few things decide the final figure:
- The make — some European systems take extra equipment and time
- Whether you want spare keys made at the same visit
- Whether the car needs its immobilizer module accessed to program an all-keys-lost key
- The type of key: basic transponder, remote-head, flip key or push-to-start smart key
Call (516) 750-0433 with your year, make and model for an exact quote. It is usually less than the dealer, and there is no tow to pay for. There are no hidden call-out fees: what we quote is what you pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a key if I have no spare at all?
Yes. With your ID and registration we originate a key from the VIN or by decoding the lock, then program it to your car — no original key needed.
Is it cheaper than the dealer?
Usually, yes — and there is no tow, no parts order and no waiting days for an appointment. We give you the price before we come out.
How long does it take?
Most key replacements and programming jobs are finished within an hour of arrival. We tell you what to expect when you call.
Can you do lost car keys found on site?
Yes. We are fully mobile and come to your car, so there is no towing involved.
Do I need to bring the car to you?
No. We are a mobile locksmith: the technician comes to your car at home, at work or at the roadside.
Can you cut laser cut keys?
Yes. We cut laser cut (sidewinder) keys on site, including Honda, Acura, GM, Toyota and Lexus laser cut keys, and program them to the car.
Will you tell me the price before you come?
Always. You get the price on the phone, before a technician is dispatched.
Will my lost key still start the car?
Not after we are done, where the car supports it: we erase lost keys from the immobilizer memory so only the keys you have will start it.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Nassau County, much of Suffolk County and Queens, including JFK Airport, Jones Beach, Resorts World Casino and UBS Arena.
