Why Marin chooses us

Three reasons people never call anyone else.

15min

Real arrival windows.

We track every van in real time. Dispatch confirms an exact ETA before you hang up — 15 minutes for most of Marin, slightly longer for the coast. Either way, no call-center estimate.

LCO8487

Licensed & bonded.

California-licensed locksmith, fully insured, every tech background-checked and badge-identified. We hand you the credentials before we touch a lock.

$29

Upfront, not surprise.

Your $29 base fee covers dispatch and the service call. You see the full price in writing before we start. No "actually that'll be $400."

Mobile locksmith services

Everything we handle in Marin, on one visit.

Every service below is a flat-rate, on-site fix. No two-visit games, no parts markups, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow."

24/7 car lockout

Locked out of your car? We open it without a scratch.

Keys locked inside, the door slammed with the engine running, or the only key sitting in the trunk — a car lockout always happens at the worst moment. The wrong move is letting a tow company or a bystander pop the lock with a screwdriver or a slim-jim, which on modern cars wrecks the weather-stripping, the linkage, or the side-curtain airbag sensors.

Marin Locksmith uses professional, non-destructive automotive entry tools — wedges, long-reach tools and air bladders designed for today's vehicles. We're stationed across the county, so the average car-lockout arrival is 15 minutes, and we open the door without a mark on it.

Common car lockout situations

  • Keys locked inside the cabin
  • Keys locked in the trunk
  • Doors auto-locked with the engine still running
  • Key fob dead and the car won't unlock
  • Child or pet locked inside (tell us — we prioritize it)
  • Lost keys with no spare anywhere nearby

What it costs in Marin

Most car lockouts run $79–$129 all-in, including the $29 dispatch fee. Late-night, highway and high-security vehicles can be a little higher. We quote the full price in writing before the tech leaves, and you don't pay until you're back in the car. License #LCO8487.

How a car lockout call works

  1. Call and confirm the carTell dispatch the make, model and your location. If a child or pet is inside, say so — we treat it as an emergency and can advise calling 911 too.
  2. A tech is dispatched in secondsThe nearest mobile van heads your way; dispatch gives you a real ETA, usually around 15 minutes across Marin.
  3. Non-destructive entryWe open the door with proper automotive tools — no slim-jims, no drilled locks, no damage to the trim or electronics.
  4. Back in & on your wayYou're inside in minutes. If the keys are lost rather than locked in, we can also cut and program a new key right there.

Vehicles we unlock

We service Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Tesla, Lexus, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, GMC, Mazda, Acura, Infiniti, Volvo and most other makes and models — foreign and domestic.

"Showed up in 12 min at 1am."

Locked my keys in the car at a gas station at 1am. Called. They said 15 minutes, arrived in 12. Fair price and super professional. No upsell, no surprise charges.

"Saved me $300 vs the dealer."

Lost the only key to my Tacoma. Toyota wanted $450 plus a tow. Marin Locksmith cut and programmed a new transponder in my driveway in 25 minutes for $150. The bridge logo on the van made me trust them instantly — very local-feeling.

"Smart lock install with no upselling."

Moved into a new house and wanted the deadbolts replaced plus a smart lock on the front door. They quoted on the phone, the price didn't change, and they were done in under an hour. Cleanup was perfect.

"Office rekey in one trip."

Fired an employee on a Friday. Called Marin Locksmith. They had every cylinder rekeyed by Saturday morning so we could open Monday with new keys. Saved us a full week of stress.

"Re-keyed to office doors same day."

Had to re-key six office doors because I lost the master. Everything was finished and tested in two hours. Honest, professional, fair price. Will call them again.

"Trapped in the car at midnight in Mill Valley."

Rented a car at SFO and somehow locked the keys inside near the Mill Valley exit. Tech was there in 18 minutes, no damage, no drama. Just polite and fast.

Common questions

About car lockout in Marin.

How fast can you open my car?
Average arrival across Marin is about 15 minutes, and the actual opening usually takes just a few minutes once a tech is on scene.
Will you damage my car getting in?
No. We use non-destructive entry tools made for modern vehicles. Damage during a professional lockout is extremely rare, and we're fully insured.
My child / pet is locked inside — what do I do?
Tell us immediately when you call so we prioritize you, and call 911 as well if anyone is in distress or it's hot out. We treat these as true emergencies.
Can you open the trunk?
Yes. Whether the keys are in the trunk or the trunk simply won't release, we can get it open without damage on most vehicles.
What if I've actually lost the keys, not locked them in?
We can still get you in, and because we're a full automotive locksmith we can cut and program a brand-new key on the spot so you can drive away.
Are you available at night?
Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all over Marin County. Lockouts don't keep business hours and neither do we.
Do I pay before or after?
After. You only pay once you're back in your vehicle and satisfied. We take cash, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Zelle.
