What Delray Beach calls automotive locksmith for

Most Delray Beach drivers do not know that the locksmith truck parked outside the Whole Foods is faster, cheaper, and as capable as the BMW or Lexus dealer's service department for a key fob replacement. We carry transponder programmers for every American and Asian carmaker built after 1996, and most European makes - which means we cut, program, and pair the key fob on the spot, in your driveway or the parking lot, in 20 to 45 minutes.

Dealer alternative: tow the car to the dealer ($95 - $180), pay the dealer's key fob program fee ($250 - $475 depending on brand), wait 2 - 5 business days for the blank to arrive from a regional warehouse, then pay the dealer markup on the blank ($85 - $220). Our number is typically half that, complete in one visit.

What stays the same: only Palm Beach County licensed and registered, insured locksmiths touch your car at Premier. No sub-contracted national-chain trucks, no out-of-state lead-gen relays. The phone, the truck, and the locksmith are all under one Delray Beach roof.

Automotive Locksmith - the questions Delray homeowners ask

Basic transponder keys run $135 - $225 cut + programmed on-site. Smart-key proximity fobs (Lexus, Toyota, Honda) are $215 - $385. European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) is $295 - $525. Dealer pricing typically runs 30 - 60% higher and requires a tow.
Yes. We carry BMW CAS3+/FEM/BDC blanks, Mercedes IR proximity keys, and VAG MQB-platform fobs for Audi/VW on every truck. Programming is done with our scanner against your VIN, on-site, no dealer trip.
Yes - Tesla Model 3, Y, S, X. We cut and pair both the key card and the LTE fob through the vehicle's pairing menu. Average 30 - 45 minutes.
Sometimes - it depends on your policy. Comprehensive coverage with key-replacement riders (offered by Geico, State Farm, and AAA Florida) often reimburses up to $500 per loss. We will provide a written invoice for your claim.
Typically 30 - 45 minutes start to finish, including cutting the blank. The chip-pairing process talks to your car's immobilizer through the OBD-II port and depends on the year/make.
Yes - the car has to be on-site (for OBD-II programming) and you have to be able to prove ownership (registration, photo ID matching the title). We will not program a key for a vehicle without ownership verification - FL Statute 489.5185 standard.
We extract the broken key, then assess the cylinder. If the cylinder is undamaged, we cut a replacement on the spot. If the cylinder is worn or seized (the usual reason a key broke), we swap the cylinder same-visit for $185 - $385.
On 9 of 10 jobs, yes - typically 30 - 60% less. The dealer charges a markup on the blank, a programming fee, and almost always requires a tow ($95 - $180). We bring the programming tool to your driveway.
