Rekey Car — Cost & Service Los Angeles

Rekeying your car means changing the internal pins inside the lock cylinder so that only a new key will work — your existing locks and hardware stay in place. It is the most cost-effective security step when you have lost a car key, suspect someone has a copy of your key, or purchased a used vehicle and want to ensure you are the only one with access.

Lock Angeles LA performs car rekeying on-site throughout Greater Los Angeles. Our mobile locksmiths arrive with the tools and key blanks needed to rekey your door locks and ignition, cut new keys to the updated cylinder, and test everything before leaving. Most car rekey jobs are completed in under an hour.

How much does it cost to rekey a car? The cost to rekey a car with Lock Angeles LA is typically lower than dealership pricing, and there is no towing required since we come to your location. Exact pricing depends on the number of locks, your vehicle's make and model, and whether transponder key programming is included. We provide a clear quote before any work begins — no surprises.

Rekeying a car is different from replacing the locks. When you rekey, the cylinder is modified to accept a new key pattern — the hardware itself is not replaced. This keeps costs low while restoring your security. If your locks are damaged or worn, we may recommend cylinder replacement instead, which we also offer.
