Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Honest Answers to Your Most Important Locksmith Questions.
Can you really open my car in under 30 seconds without damage?
Yes. In most cases, I use non-destructive entry tools and techniques that allow me to unlock vehicles in seconds. I’ve opened everything from family sedans to Ferraris—without leaving a mark.
I lost my only key—can you still help me on-site?
Absolutely. I specialize in key replacement even when no spare exists. Whether it’s a modern transponder, smart fob, or even an old-school key, I can create a working replacement right where your car is parked.
I drive a vintage or luxury car—can you still make or program keys?
Yes. I’m one of the few locksmiths in New Jersey trained in key impressioning, a technique most shops can’t offer. I’ve cut keys for Triumphs, Porsches, Ferraris—you name it. Dealerships often refer these cases to me.
What if my key broke off in the door or ignition?
I can extract broken keys safely and make a new one on the spot. No need to tow or wait for a dealer. This is a common issue, especially in older vehicles or extreme weather.
How much does this cost—and will you give me the price upfront?
I always give upfront, honest pricing before starting any job. No hidden fees, no upsells. I’ll usually ask for a photo or basic info about your vehicle to quote you accurately.
Are you licensed and certified?
Yes. I’m licensed by the state, FBI-certified for high-security work, and trained in automotive, safe, and electronic locksmithing. I’m also AAA-certified and trusted by major dealerships and franchises.
Do I need to show proof of ownership before you help me?
Yes, for security reasons. I’ll usually ask to see your ID and registration to confirm you’re the vehicle owner. This protects both you and the integrity of the service.
