  • Vehicle Keys – Lost, Duplicates, or Repair

    Lost your keys? Need a spare? Did your fob mysteriously stop working right after you bragged about how reliable your car is? I’ve got you.

    Whether your keys vanished into the void (also known as “the couch”), snapped off in the ignition like a dramatic soap-opera breakup, or your remote has slowly stopped responding like a teenager asked to do chores — I can help.

    I handle:

    🔑 Lost Keys (All Keys Gone)

    No key? No problem. I can originate brand-new keys for most vehicles right on site. No towing, no dealership detours, no waiting three days for someone to come “take a look.”
    I show up, decode the lock, cut the key, program it, and get you back on the road — all before your coffee goes cold.

    🔁 Duplicate Keys (You Really Should Have a Spare)

    A spare key is like a seatbelt: you don’t appreciate it until life proves its point.
    I make duplicates for metal keys, chip keys, flip keys, smart keys, proximity fobs, and pretty much anything your car uses that isn’t a skeleton key from Pirates of the Caribbean.

    🛠️ Key & Remote Repair

    Buttons falling out? Shell cracked? Car acting like it refuses to acknowledge your fob’s existence?
    I offer:

    • Fob re-shells

    • Battery replacements

    • Reprogramming

    • Diagnosis and repair when possible

    • Advice about when a remote is at the “pull the plug” stage and just needs to be replaced

    🚗 No Stress, No Judgment

    If you tell me you “totally knew where the key was,” I will nod respectfully and absolutely not mention the fact that we just found it in the fridge.
    Life happens — I’m here to make it easier, not to shame you for the mysteries your keychain gets itself into.

    💬 Honest Pricing & Fast Service

    My goal is simple:
    Fix the problem, explain it clearly, charge fairly, and get you rolling again.
    No dealership pricing, no surprise fees, no hidden “because we felt like it” charges.

Whether it’s the front door, garage, or that one stubborn deadbolt that always sticks, Atomic Lock & Key gets you back inside quickly, professionally, and without judgment (because we’ve all done it at least once).
