In Brooklyn, car key problems never happen in a calm moment. It's always when you're double-parked, late, or your phone battery is hanging on by 3%. If you need a car locksmith who can get to you and actually fix the issue on-site, A&S Auto Locksmith is a mobile locksmith team based in Brooklyn, NY, serving the area 24/7.
We've been doing automotive locksmith work for close to 20 years. Not the "just open the door and run" kind either. The kind where we help you get back in, get your car started, and make sure you won't be stuck again tomorrow because the real issue was a failing fob or a worn key.
People call and say, "My key isn't working". Totally fair. But auto locksmith work changes a lot depending on what you have in your hand (or what you don't). Here are the 3 most common situations in Brooklyn:
If you're not sure which one you're dealing with, that's normal. You don't need locksmith language. You tell us what happened, and we'll guide you.
If you're locked out of car right now, you're not alone. Lockouts happen constantly in Brooklyn, especially when you're juggling bags, kids, delivery pickups, or you're rushing to move the car before a ticket shows up.
Here's a small tip before you call: check all doors slowly once. One door is often slightly open, or the trunk is not fully latched. If you already checked and you're definitely locked out, call A&S Auto Locksmith and we'll take it from there.
When we arrive, our goal is simple: open the vehicle cleanly and avoid damage. The "hanger" and "DIY wedge" methods are how people end up with scratched paint, bent frames, and a bigger problem than they started with.
Car key replacement is one of the biggest reasons people call an automotive locksmith. And yes, people ask us this all the time: "can a locksmith make a car key" for my car these days?
Often, yes. The answer depends on your year, make, and model, and whether you have a working key. We'll ask those details on the phone so we show up prepared and you're not wasting time standing around.
There's also a big difference between replacing a basic metal key and replacing a modern key system. Some keys have chips. Some are smart keys. Some are fobs with keyless entry. That's why we talk through the options with you first and then do the job properly.
If you've ever had a fob issue, you already know it can feel confusing. The car is fine, the key looks fine, but nothing responds. Or you see that warning: "key battery low" and you ignore it until the day your car decides to stop listening.
When someone calls us for key fob replacement, we keep it simple. We ask what the fob is doing, whether it was dropped or got wet, and whether the car still starts at all. Sometimes the fix is a battery. Sometimes it's a replacement key fob. Sometimes it's key fob programming that needs to be redone.
Whatever it is, we don't leave you with a half-working situation. We make sure your replacement key fob locks, unlocks, and starts the vehicle like it should before we pack up.
A key stuck in ignition feels like a small problem until you realize you cannot go anywhere. It can happen from a worn key, an ignition that's starting to fail, or even steering wheel pressure that traps the key.
Here's the best advice we can give: don't force it. If you pull hard enough, keys snap. If you call us, we'll ask a couple quick questions and sometimes we can guide you through a safe step right away. If it needs hands-on work, we'll come out and take care of it.
A lot of people find us by searching 24 hour locksmith near me or locksmith Brooklyn NY at the worst possible time. We understand why. But we also know what makes people trust a locksmith in New York: clear communication and clean work.
When you call A&S Auto Locksmith, we do a few things that matter:
It's not fancy, but it's the difference between a stressful call and a solved problem.
"How much is a locksmith" is a fair question, especially in NYC. Pricing depends on the service and the key system. A lockout is different from a car key replacement job, and a basic key is different from a smart key or keyless entry setup.
Our rule is simple: we explain what affects the price before we start. If something could change the range (like an all-keys-lost situation or a special key system), we tell you up front. No surprises at the end.
If you need a locksmith Brooklyn team for a car issue, call A&S Auto Locksmith any time.
