4.9 stars from 1,187 Austin drivers

Lost my only key somewhere on Rainey Street at midnight. I expected to be stranded until Monday. They answered on the second ring, quoted me on the phone, and a technician had a new proximity key programmed in my garage 22 minutes later. He also wiped the lost key so nobody could use it. Genuinely impressive.

Booked a spare key for our truck after the dealer quoted me nearly double and wanted the vehicle for a full day. These guys came to my driveway at 6pm, cut and programmed it in half an hour, and the price was exactly what they said on the phone. No upsell, no surprise fees.

Bought a fob online that two other locksmiths said they couldn't do because of the security gateway. Austin Car Key Experts programmed it in my office parking garage in about twenty minutes. The technician explained exactly what the gateway was and why it needed licensed access. Very professional.

Key Fob Programming · 2023 Hyundai Tucson

European keys are usually a nightmare. They quoted me a fair price, told me upfront there was a manufacturer wait timer, and delivered exactly on schedule. Careful work, clean vehicle, and they tested every function with me before taking payment.

Locked my keys in the car at Barton Springs with my dog inside. They flagged it as urgent, arrived in twelve minutes and had the door open in under five without a mark on the paint. I cannot overstate how relieved I was.

Car Lockout · 2016 Honda Civic

My ignition had been sticking for months and finally locked up. Two shops told me it was a full replacement. These guys rebuilt the cylinder in my driveway, re-keyed it to my existing key, and charged less than half the replacement quote. Been perfect for three months now.

I am not technical and I appreciated that the technician explained everything in plain language without talking down to me. He came to the house in Sun City, sorted the fob, and even replaced the battery in my spare at no charge.

Key Fob Replacement · 2018 Lexus RX 350

We run six delivery vans and lost a key on a Saturday. They had a replacement cut and programmed the same morning so we didn't lose the route. They now keep our key profiles on file. That kind of reliability is worth a lot to a small business.

Auto Locksmith · 2015 Ram ProMaster (fleet)

Dropped my fob in Lake Pflugerville. They tested it honestly, told me the board was gone rather than charging me to try, and had a replacement programmed the next morning. Straightforward, fair and fast.

Transponder Key Programming · 2022 Kia Telluride

Snapped my key off in the ignition on the I-35 shoulder. They arrived with cones and reflective gear, got the piece out without damaging anything, cut a new key from the code and had me moving in about forty minutes. Safety-conscious and skilled.

Needed an extra key card and fob for a new driver in the household. They came out to Lakeway, handled it in twenty minutes and were happy to answer all my questions about how the system works. Polished, professional service.

All keys lost on an older truck that had sat unused for a year. They originated a key from the VIN, verified my ownership properly which I actually appreciated, and got it running first try. Fair price, zero drama.
