Why Marin chooses us

Three reasons people never call anyone else.

30min

Real arrival windows.

We track every van in real time. Dispatch confirms an exact ETA before you hang up — up to 30 minutes in most areas, 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.

$79

Upfront, not surprise.

Your $79 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 most car-lockout arrivals are within 30 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 $79 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 up to 30 minutes in most areas.
  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.

"Arrived 10 mins after our conversation ended."

Sapir answered immediately (unlike every other service I called which seemed to be a calling center) and quoted me an excellent price to get my BMW X3 car keys replicated without having a master key. Arrived 10 mins after our conversation ended and was very informative about the process. Was done in about 15 mins and relieved so much stress.

"I truly thought the car was done for."

I had a nightmare situation with my 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 involving a corrupted immobilizer chip that had been improperly removed, and I truly thought the car was done for. He was able to recover the data from the damaged chip and get the car running again. His expertise, patience, and professionalism were outstanding throughout the process.

"Rekeyed the locks so I only need 1 key."

Called Marin Locksmith to install new door handle and electronic keypad locks on my front door. Sabir was polite and efficient. He replaced both locks and even rekeyed the locks so I only need 1 key to enter. I would highly recommend him for locksmith work.

"He quickly unlocked my work van with ease."

Sapir provided an effortless experience today. He promptly called me to let me know an ETA, with a follow up text halfway through. He quickly unlocked my work van with ease, opting to pick the lock to protect the integrity of my door. It took less than 45 minutes from the time I called, to the time he was leaving my driveway.

"The shop wanted the car dropped off for half a day."

The mini key I rely on for my 05 Prius doors stopped working. I stopped by a locksmith shop and they said they would need the car dropped off for half a day. Then I found Sapir, the wizard of locks. Within about 20 minutes he re-keyed the lock with both a full size and mini key, and gave my sad looking fob a total facelift.

"Came to my rescue within the hour."

As a house sitter, I panicked when I could not open the front door which had accidentally slammed closed. Marin Locksmith came to my rescue within the hour, and for a reasonable charge corrected a misalignment in the door and adjusted the lock which had also been giving me grief. All is well that ends well!

Common questions

About car lockout in Marin.

How fast can you open my car?
Arrival across Marin is up to 30 minutes in most areas, 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.
