Automotive Locksmith in Sunnyvale, CA.

This page covers automotive locksmith service in Sunnyvale: what the work includes, how a call runs, the hardware involved and what sets the price.

Automotive work in Sunnyvale is done at the vehicle, wherever it is parked in Silicon Valley: car lockouts, keys cut and programmed at the vehicle (transponder, remote and proximity keys), ignition repair and broken key extraction, for most makes and model years.

Sunnyvale occupies northwestern Santa Clara County between Mountain View, Los Altos, Cupertino and Santa Clara, reaching north to San Francisco Bay and Moffett Federal Airfield. The southern half is mostly residential, including more than 1,100 Eichler homes across 16 tracts, while most land north of CA-237 is zoned industrial: the Moffett Park plan area covers about 1,270 acres of office, R&D and industrial land between Moffett Field and Baylands Park. Downtown centers on Murphy Avenue beside the Caltrain station, with the CityLine mixed-use redevelopment of the former mall just south, bounded by Mathilda, Washington, Sunnyvale and Iowa avenues. US-101, CA-237, CA-85, I-280 and El Camino Real cross the city.

Technicians are dispatched to addresses across Sunnyvale from the line at (888) 492-0666, which is answered around the clock; the dispatcher gives you an ETA before anyone is sent.

• Lockouts: Car Lockout and Trunk Lockout. Doors and trunks opened at the vehicle without damaging the weatherstrip, paint or electronics.

• Ignitions and broken keys: Ignition Repair / Replacement and Broken Key Extraction. Worn or seized cylinders and key fragments removed from doors and ignitions.
• Other vehicles: Motorcycle Key Replacement, RV, Boat & Trailer Key Replacement and Semi-Truck & Fleet Locksmith. Motorcycles, RVs, boats, trailers and commercial fleets.

Each of these has its own Sunnyvale page with what is included, what to have ready and the questions people ask about that job.

1. Call (888) 492-0666 with the year, make, model and key type. Plain blade, chip key, remote-head or push-to-start fob, and how many working keys you have, if any.
2. The dispatcher confirms whether it can be done at the vehicle. Most makes and model years can; some late-model vehicles require dealer authorization or a minimum number of existing keys, and you hear that before anyone is sent.
3. The technician verifies ownership at the vehicle. Registration, title or insurance card plus matching photo ID; for company vehicles, authorization from the company.
4. The key is cut and programmed, or the lock is opened. Keys are cut by code or to the original, then paired to the immobilizer or proximity system.
5. Everything is tested. Ignition or push-button start, every door, the trunk or hatch and the remote functions.
6. A spare can be cut at the same visit, and you receive a receipt. Adding a second key while the programmer is connected is simpler than a return trip.

We cover most makes and model years; we confirm your year, make and model on the phone. The key type determines what has to happen at the vehicle.

• Plain cut keys: mostly older vehicles with no chip; cut to code or to the original.
• Transponder (chip) keys: the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer. A cut blade alone will open the door but will not start the car.
• Remote-head and flip keys: blade, chip and remote in one unit; both the chip and the remote are paired.
• Smart and proximity fobs: push-to-start vehicles; paired to the vehicle's keyless system.
• High-security (laser-cut or sidewinder) blades: cut on a dedicated machine rather than a standard duplicator.
• Motorcycle, RV, trailer and fleet keys: many are plain or coded cuts; some late-model motorcycles use chips too.
• Limits: some late-model makes require dealer authorization or a security gateway login, and some need a minimum number of existing keys to add one. The dispatcher confirms this by year, make and model before sending anyone.
