What to Expect During a Mobile Locksmith Visit in Phoenix, AZ
If you’ve never called a mobile locksmith before, you might wonder: What happens when they arrive? How long does it take? Is the service done on-site? Whether you’re locked out, lost your key, or need ignition repair, knowing what to expect can help you feel more confident and in control.
At Affordable Security Locksmith And Alarm, we offer mobile automotive locksmith services across Phoenix that are fast, professional, and done right at your location. If you’re considering calling us, check out our Phoenix mobile auto locksmith services for 24/7 support throughout the Valley.
Here’s exactly what to expect from the moment you make the call to the time your issue is resolved.
Step 1: You Call or Book Online
We’ll ask for basic info to help us prepare:
- Your name and phone number
- Location or cross streets
- Vehicle make, model, and year
- The type of service needed (lockout, key replacement, ignition help, etc.)
You’ll receive a flat-rate quote upfront—no hidden fees, even for emergency service.
Step 2: We Dispatch a Mobile Technician
We send a trained locksmith directly to you in a clearly marked service vehicle. Arrival times are usually:
- 30–60 minutes for most Phoenix areas
- Faster if you’re near Downtown, Maryvale, or Camelback East
- Emergency priority for kids, pets, or nighttime lockouts
Our technicians carry all tools and machines needed for on-site service.
Step 3: Arrival & Vehicle Verification
When we arrive, we:
- Greet you and explain the process
- Verify ownership of the vehicle (registration or ID)
- Inspect the vehicle for any special considerations
We always treat your vehicle with care and maintain full privacy and professionalism.
Step 4: On-Site Service Begins
Depending on your situation, we may:
- Unlock the car using non-damaging entry tools
- Cut a new key using code-cutting machines
- Program a transponder or smart key
- Repair or replace the ignition if needed
- Rekey locks so lost or stolen keys no longer work
- Extract a broken key from a lock or ignition
Every service is performed right where your car is—no towing, no dealership visit required.
Step 5: You Test Everything Before We Leave
Once the work is done:
- You’ll test the new key, fob, ignition, or lock
- We’ll confirm everything works exactly as it should
- We’ll walk you through how to use any new smart features (like push-to-start fobs or remotes)
We don’t leave until you’re fully satisfied.
Step 6: Optional Spare Keys or Upgrades
Many clients take this time to request:
- A second spare key
- Upgraded smart key fobs
- Rekeying services for added security
- Tips on storing keys securely and preventing future lockouts
Ask your technician and we’ll give you options on the spot.
Step 7: Secure Payment & Receipt
We accept:
- Cash
- All major credit and debit cards
- Digital receipts via email or text
Invoices are detailed and easy to save for insurance, work fleets, or taxes.
How Long Does It Take?
- Standard lockout: 10–30 minutes
- Key cutting + programming: 30–60 minutes
- Ignition repair or rekeying: 45–90 minutes
- Smart key services: 30–75 minutes
We’ll always give you a time estimate before we begin.
