Car Lockout Service
Locked your keys in the car outside Turtle Creek Mall or in a driveway in Oak Grove? We open most vehicles without damaging the door, window or lock. Most car lockout calls inside Hattiesburg get a technician on site within 30 to 60 minutes, using non damaging entry tools that work on sedans, trucks and SUVs.
Car Key Replacement and Key Programming
Most vehicles built in the last fifteen years need a computer hooked up to the car to program the key’s chip before the engine will start. We carry that equipment in the van, so in most cases a lost key gets replaced the same visit, without towing to a dealership on Highway 49 or waiting days for a part.If you lost your only key, bring proof the car is yours, such as a title or registration. We work with traditional metal keys, transponder keys, remote head keys, and smart or proximity keys.
If your fob still opens the doors but will not start the engine, or you need a spare made to match your current key, programming usually takes under an hour. We also replace fobs that are cracked, waterlogged or no longer holding a charge, and remove broken keys stuck in a door lock or ignition.
Why Drivers in Hattiesburg Call Us
We carry the equipment to cut and program most car keys without towing the vehicle, and the price is quoted before we start. The technician who answers your call is the one who shows up, not a forwarded number to a stranger. Mississippi does not require a state locksmith license, so it is worth asking any locksmith for a phone number that matches their website and vehicle first.
