The Crosby Car Keys

Our typical response time to The Crosby runs about 25-30 min from dispatch. We keep our dispatch zone tight so response times stay consistent, even during peak hours. Proximity to Del Dios Hwy & The Crosby entrance puts The Crosby well within our fastest response radius. Same-day appointments are available most days, and emergency lockouts jump to the front of the queue. Lockouts get dispatched immediately - you won't sit on hold or wait for a callback.

Fob issues are one of the most common calls we handle in The Crosby. Aftermarket fobs work for many vehicles and cost 40-60% less than the OEM unit, with the same range and functionality once programmed. Proximity fobs that stop being detected often just need a battery swap and possibly a quick reprogram. Mercedes keys operate through the EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) module, which requires infrared communication for programming - a dealer-level procedure we perform on-site. Every fob we program is tested for lock, unlock, trunk, and start functions before we leave.

Transponder and smart key programming is the core of what we do every day. All-keys-lost situations are more involved but fully doable on-site - we pull the immobilizer codes and generate a brand-new key from scratch. Whether it's a push-to-start fob, a transponder chip key, or a remote-head key, we cut and program on-site. The Mercedes key ecosystem includes Chrome Keys, Smart Keys, and KEYLESS-GO variants - we handle all three types. No dealer visit, no tow, no waiting days for a part to arrive.

Every quote starts with your year, make, and model. We pull up the key spec and give you an exact price before dispatching. Compared to the dealership, our pricing typically comes in 40–60% lower for the same result - OEM-spec key, cut and programmed on-site. Mobile service means no tow fee, no shop overhead, and no waiting room - all of which are baked into the dealer's price. Upfront quoting is non-negotiable for us. You know the cost before the tech leaves the shop.

For gated neighborhoods, let the guard know a mobile locksmith is arriving, or add us to the visitor list when you call. Once inside, the process is the same - we park near your vehicle and handle the job on the spot. Our lockout kit covers every modern vehicle. Entry is non-destructive, and the tech confirms ownership before touching the door. Gated communities, apartment garages, and restricted lots are all part of our regular coverage. Every key is tested in the ignition and on all doors before we leave.

No tow truck needed. Our van is a rolling locksmith shop that comes directly to your car in The Crosby.

Every key is tested on ignition, doors, trunk, and remote functions before the tech leaves. The whole job happens at your vehicle, start to finish. You watch the entire process.
