The moment you contact Mobile Locksmith, a real person answers your call. We ask a few quick questions about your vehicle make, model, location, and the issue you’re experiencing.

Getting locked out of your car happens to everyone at some point. Maybe you accidentally left your keys on the front seat, or they slipped out of your pocket at Target. Whatever the reason, we respond quickly to get you back inside your vehicle without causing any damage. Our locksmiths use specialized tools designed for safe, non destructive entry. We’ve helped countless Minneapolis residents who found themselves locked out after running errands, leaving work, or attending events at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Lost your only car key? Need a spare made before disaster strikes? We cut and program new car keys on site for virtually every make and model. From traditional metal keys to modern transponder chip keys and remote key fobs, our technicians have the equipment and expertise to create replacements that work perfectly. This service costs significantly less than what dealerships charge, and we come to you instead of making you arrange for a tow.
Modern vehicles rely on transponder keys that communicate electronically with your car’s ignition system. When you need a new transponder key programmed, our mobile team brings the necessary equipment directly to your location. We work with all major automotive brands and can program keys in 15 to 30 minutes for most standard vehicles. High security systems may take longer, but we always complete the job right.
Keys break in locks and ignitions more often than you might think, especially during cold Minneapolis winters when metal becomes brittle. Trying to remove a broken key yourself often pushes the fragment deeper and can damage the lock cylinder. Our technicians safely extract broken keys without harming your vehicle, then create a replacement key on the spot so you’re not left stranded.
If your ignition cylinder is worn, damaged, or won’t turn, we provide professional ignition repair and replacement services. A malfunctioning ignition can leave you unable to start your car, but our locksmiths carry the parts and tools needed to fix or replace ignition cylinders for most vehicle types. We complete this work at your location, saving you the hassle and expense of a dealership visit.
“Jose was absolutely amazing! He quoted me about half of what the dealership wanted to charge, and even came all the way to my house to help. He programmed the key when, surprise, we found my key sitting in the ignition. What can I say, I’m a tired working mom! My car was also dead, and he kindly jumped it for me, only charging a small service fee for coming out. If I ever need a new key in the future, I’ll definitely be calling Mobile Locksmith!” – Alexia Farah
