Automotive Locksmith Services

Modern vehicles require a specialist. Unlike a hardware store that cuts simple house keys, automotive locksmith work involves electronic immobilizer systems, transponder chips, proximity fobs, and vehicle-specific programming protocols. Caraballo Locksmith's automotive team is trained and equipped for this full range of services.

**Car lockout service** — Keys locked inside, broken door handle, frozen lock, or malfunctioning door actuator. We use professional-grade opening tools specific to each vehicle's lock mechanism, avoiding any damage to weather stripping, door seals, or paint.

**Transponder key programming** — Most vehicles made after 1997 use transponder chips embedded in the key head. A correctly cut blade that hasn't been paired to the immobilizer won't start the car. We decode, cut, and program transponder keys on-site for most domestic and foreign makes.

**Key fob programming & replacement** — Push-to-start fobs, flip keys, smart keys, and proximity remotes. We program new fobs to your vehicle and can also clone existing fobs for a spare.

**Lost key replacement** — No original key required for most vehicles. Using your VIN and proof of ownership, we can produce a working key from scratch.

**Ignition repair** — Worn ignition cylinders, broken keys inside the ignition, or ignition that won't turn. We repair or replace ignition cylinders on-site.

All automotive services are mobile — we come to your location anywhere in Miami-Dade and Broward County.
