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

We earn San Rafael's trust one job at a time: upfront pricing, damage-free workmanship, and technicians who actually know the hardware on your doors and vehicles. When you call us for automotive locksmith, you are getting a careful professional, not a rushed subcontractor.

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.
