Car Locksmith in Phoenix, AZ
Everything for your car, done where it’s parked
Desert Locksmith is a mobile car locksmith. The van carries key blanks, key machines and programming equipment, so the work happens at your car — in your driveway, at work or in a parking lot. You talk to the locksmith who does the job, and you get the price on the phone before we drive out.
What car locksmith work costs
| Service | Price, most cars |
|---|---|
| Car lockout (keys locked inside) | $85 |
| Regular car key (cut and programmed) | $165 |
| Remote key (key and remote in one) | $225 |
| Smart key (push-to-start) | $265 |
| Ignition repair (most Hondas) | $300–$400 |
The exact price depends on your make, model and year. We give it to you on the phone before we drive out, and that is the price you pay. Cash or card (card payments carry a 4% fee). Keys and remotes we supply come with a 3-month warranty.

Why call a locksmith instead of the dealer?
- No tow. We come to the car; the dealer usually needs the car brought in.
- Same day, usually. Dealers often need to order the key.
- You know the price first. One phone call, one price.
- You talk to the locksmith. Not a call center.

What to have ready
For car keys we need your photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title. As a NASTF-registered Vehicle Security Professional we can get security codes for protected vehicles; for those models the name on your ID and registration must match.
