Why Oakland Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Car Key Replacement

In Oakland, reputation is everything, and ours is built on doing right by neighbors. We show up when we say we will, explain your options in plain language, and price fairly whether it is 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. That is why so much of our Oakland work comes from referrals and repeat customers.

Dealerships often charge premium prices and require you to tow the vehicle in, then wait days. We come to you, usually the same day, and handle even 'all keys lost' cases by originating a new key to your vehicle and deleting old ones from memory. Making a spare now is far cheaper than an emergency replacement after you've lost your last key.
