Why San Mateo Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Automotive Locksmith

San Mateo customers choose us because we combine big-company reliability with local, personal service. Every technician is licensed, bonded and insured, arrives in a marked, fully-stocked van, and treats your property with care. We quote before we work, we finish in one visit whenever we can, and we stand behind everything we do.

Modern vehicles use transponder chips, proximity keys and push-to-start systems that require specialized programming equipment — which our vans carry. That means we can handle 'all keys lost' situations, clone or add spare keys, and program remotes on-site, usually for far less than a dealer would charge and without towing your vehicle anywhere.
