View details →A key that won't turn, sticks halfway, or jiggles before it finally catches is an ignition cylinder telling you it's wearing out. Ignored, it eventually seizes and strands the car. Many drivers assume this means a tow and a dealer bill — but a mobile automotive locksmith handles most ignition problems right where the car is parked.
Marin Locksmith diagnoses whether the issue is a worn key, a failing cylinder, a jammed lock or a steering-column lockout, then repairs or replaces the ignition cylinder on-site and re-keys it to your existing key where possible, so you don't end up carrying two different keys.
Ignition repairs and cylinder replacements typically run $120–$350 depending on the vehicle and whether parts are needed; re-keying the new cylinder to your existing key is included where the make allows. The $29 base fee covers diagnosis and dispatch, and we quote the full price before any work begins. License #LCO8487.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
