Automotive Locksmith in Manhasset, NY

We open locked cars, cut and program replacement keys, make new transponder and remote keys, and repair or rekey ignitions. Pricing runs $95 to $425+, and the spread comes down to your vehicle.

When you call, have the year, make, and model ready so the technician can quote accurately on the callback rather than guessing at your door.

• A simple lockout is at the low end; a proximity key or push-to-start fob that needs programming to a specific make and model sits higher because of the blank cost and the programming step.
• Older vehicles with a plain metal key are cheaper than newer ones with chip security.

Most calls land in the 15 to 30 minute window. We route along Northern Boulevard (NY 25A), Plandome Road, and Community Drive, so if you are in the Miracle Mile stretch, near North Shore University Hospital, or parked around the Plandome Road business district, tell the dispatcher which lot or street you are in and where the car is sitting.

Shopping and delivery traffic on Northern Boulevard can slow things during peak hours, so a clear location and a parking level or row number gets the technician to the actual vehicle faster.

Have your ID and proof you own or are authorized to drive the car ready, since we verify that before opening any vehicle. Know your year, make, and model, and if it is a key replacement, whether you have a spare or none at all.

A working phone number matters because the nearest technician calls you back to confirm the price.

• For key or fob programming the car usually needs to be present, so stay with the vehicle.
• If you are at a hospital lot, garage, or a metered spot, mention any gate or time limit on the call so we can plan around access.
