Locked out of your car? It happens. More often than you'd think. One distracted moment and boom - the door clicks shut, the keys are on the seat, and your lunch break just got interesting. We get calls like this every day, and trust us, it's more common than running out of gas.
At Landmark Locksmith, we handle car lockouts fast. Really fast. Whether it's a simple door pop or something more complicated like a stuck transponder key, we show up with the tools and the know-how to get you moving again.
Not all locksmiths know cars. But we do. Our technicians work on nearly every make and model on the road today - domestic, import, push-to-start, keyless entry systems, you name it. From old-school metal keys to chipped transponder keys and proximity remotes, we've seen it all.
And we don't just unlock doors. We do car key programming, car key replacement, broken key extraction, ignition repair, remote duplication, and even key fob battery swaps. If you're searching "automotive locksmith" or "car key battery replacement near me", you're in the right place.
Dealerships are fine for oil changes. But if you've lost your only key, they're going to tow your car, make you wait days, and charge you triple. We'll save you the headache. Landmark Locksmith comes to you, cuts and programs the replacement key on-site, and usually gets it done the same day. All without needing a tow or an appointment.
One of our customers in Potomac West had her purse stolen - key, wallet, everything gone. We met her outside her apartment that evening, programmed a new key, and cleared the old one from the system. She said it was the first time she'd felt calm all day.
Short answer: yes, we can. Longer answer: we do it all the time.
If your key fob stops working, or you need a second one programmed, you don't have to go through the dealer. We have the equipment and training to handle key programming near me - right in your driveway, your office parking lot, or the side of the road. No tow trucks. No waiting room coffee. Just results.
We've had customers panic over a fob that won't unlock their car... only to find out it just needed a $5 battery. We carry batteries for the most common models and can test and replace them on the spot. If that fixes it, great. If it doesn't, we're already there to fix the bigger issue.
Don't overthink it. If you're searching "changing battery in key fob" or "key fob near me", give us a call. We'll get you sorted without the guesswork.
Classic. We've all done it - or almost done it. One customer in Del Ray was warming up her car in the winter, closed the door, and heard that soft, sickening click. Keys on the dashboard. Engine running. Two kids in the back seat. Not her best moment, she admitted.
She called Landmark. We were there in 18 minutes. Got the door open in under 2. No damage. No judgment. Just relief.

Car locksmith prices vary depending on the service, but we'll always tell you upfront. A typical lockout runs about $75 to $120. Car key programming? Depends on the vehicle, but it's usually a lot less than what the dealership charges. Remote programming, transponder key duplication, and key cutting are all quoted clearly before we touch anything.
We don't do bait-and-switch. We don't say "starting at" and then double it when we arrive. We respect your time and your wallet.
Car trunk won't open? Ignition won't turn? Smart key suddenly not so smart? We've handled all of that.
One guy in Taylor Run had a fob that worked fine... except it wouldn't unlock the back doors. Weird, right? We reprogrammed it, reset the onboard system, and got everything working again. He was impressed. So were we, honestly.
