How much will my key cost?
Cost depends on the vehicle, the key and security system, whether any working keys remain, and your location. Send those details for an estimate. We explain any travel, diagnostic, emergency-blade or additional-work charges before you authorize that work. Some problems need an on-site assessment before a final price can be confirmed.
Can you help if I’ve lost every key?
For many supported vehicles, yes. Tell us the year, make and model and that no working key remains. Some security systems need dealer service, special ordering or additional work, so we check your exact vehicle first.
Can you come today?
Same-day appointments may be available depending on the schedule, location and required key. Call or text to check. We confirm an arrival window and normally send an update about 30 minutes before arriving.
Do I need to tow my car to a dealership?
For supported vehicles, our mobile locksmith service can cut and program a replacement where the car is parked. Some security systems or vehicle faults require dealer or workshop service. Send your exact vehicle details before arranging a tow so we can confirm whether we can help on-site.
Is a spare key different from an all-keys-lost replacement?
Yes. Having a working key can change the equipment, security access and programming steps required. If every key is lost, additional work may be necessary. Tell us whether your current key starts the car so we can provide the appropriate estimate.
Do you serve areas outside Rancho Cordova?
Yes. Our mobile service covers Greater Sacramento, including Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, Elk Grove and the surrounding communities listed in our service area. Coverage, travel charges and arrival windows are confirmed for your address.
What does the 90-day warranty apply to?
Keys supplied by Parker Lock and Key come with a 90-day warranty. Customer-supplied keys are not covered by our key warranty. Ask us to explain the coverage and terms for your particular key before booking, and contact us if a supplied key has a problem.
Can you program a key I bought online?
Sometimes. The part must match your vehicle and be suitable for programming. An incompatible or previously locked key may not work. Send a photo or the key’s part details before arranging service. Customer-supplied keys are not covered by our key warranty.
What should I have ready for the visit?
Have your ID, proof of ownership, access to the vehicle and any existing keys available. If the car belongs to someone else, the owner’s authorization is required. Ask about payment options when you book.
