What to Do First When Your Keys Are Stolen

Confirm They’re Stolen

Check your surroundings and retrace your steps. If you’re sure the keys are stolen and not just lost, proceed immediately to protect your vehicle.

Move or Disable Your Car (if possible)

If you have a spare key, move your vehicle to a secure location or garage. If you can’t move it:

• Disconnect the battery
• Remove a fuse (consult your owner’s manual)
• Call a locksmith to immobilize the car

Call a Mobile Locksmith Immediately

The longer you wait, the more vulnerable your vehicle becomes. A mobile locksmith can:

• Rekey or replace all entry locks
• Reprogram or erase stolen key fobs
• Disable and reset your car’s ignition system
• Provide brand-new keys that work exclusively with your car

How a Locksmith Secures Your Vehicle After Key Theft

1. Rekeying the Door and Trunk Locks

We can rekey all mechanical locks so the stolen key no longer works. This is a fast way to block access while retaining the factory locks.

2. Replacing the Ignition or Rekeying It

If your car uses a metal key, we’ll either rekey or replace the ignition so that the stolen key can’t start the engine. This process ensures only your new key can turn the ignition.

3. Deleting Lost or Stolen Smart Keys

For modern push-to-start cars and keyless entry vehicles, we can:

• Access your car’s computer
• Erase the stolen key from memory
• Program a new fob with a fresh encryption code

The stolen key will be useless — even if the thief still has it in hand.

4. Cutting and Programming New Keys

We’ll provide a brand-new key or fob, cut and programmed to your vehicle, on the spot. You don’t need to tow the car to the dealer or wait days for parts.

5. Optional Security Upgrades

We can also install aftermarket alarms, steering wheel locks, or tracking devices for added peace of mind.

Common Signs Your Stolen Key May Be Used

Be alert for:

• Your car being moved or doors unlocked unexpectedly
• Items missing from your vehicle
• Lock damage or tampering
• Your car alarm going off for no reason

If any of these occur, contact a locksmith or the police immediately.

How Much Does It Cost to Fix a Stolen Key Issue?

Typical Phoenix prices:

• Rekeying locks: $75 – $150 per lock
• Ignition rekey or replacement: $150 – $350
• Fob reprogramming or deletion: $100 – $250
• New key or fob: $90 – $300 depending on vehicle

We always give clear quotes upfront and come to you — fast.
