Automotive Locksmith in Philadelphia
Fast, Damage-Free Car Unlocking & Key Services — Right When You Need Them.
The Automotive Locksmith Philly Drivers Rely On
We’ve all been there — standing outside the car, keys inside, late for work or stuck in the rain. Or worse: a remote that suddenly stops working, a key that snaps in the ignition, or a transponder that refuses to start the engine.
When car trouble strikes, you don’t have time to wait around. That’s why Ben Locksmith offers fast, affordable, and professional automotive locksmith services across Philadelphia — with average response times of 20–30 minutes in most neighborhoods.
Whether you drive a compact sedan, a pickup truck, or a luxury SUV, our technicians are equipped with the tools and knowledge to solve the problem on the spot — without damage and without delay.

Locked out of your car in the middle of the day — or the middle of the night? We unlock vehicles quickly and carefully, with no damage to your doors, windows, or locks. No slim jims or coat hangers — just modern tools and real experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Locksmith Services
Can you unlock my car without damaging it, even if it’s a newer model?
Yes — and that’s one of the main reasons customers call us instead of trying DIY methods. We use professional-grade lockout tools designed for modern vehicles, including those with side airbags and electronic locks. Our technicians stay trained on the latest makes and models, so whether it’s a 2002 Honda Civic or a 2023 Mercedes-Benz, we’ll get it open quickly and cleanly — without leaving a scratch.
I lost my only car key. Can you really make a new one on the spot?
Absolutely. As long as you can prove ownership (we’ll walk you through that), we can generate a new key even if the original is completely gone. For most vehicles, we carry the tools and blanks needed to cut and program a replacement key, chip, or fob right there in your driveway or parking spot — no tow truck or dealership required.
Do you service push-to-start or smart key vehicles?
Yes. Most of today’s vehicles use proximity-based smart keys or fobs, and we’re fully equipped to work with them. We can replace lost smart keys, reprogram fobs, and even reset systems after a theft or malfunction. This includes brands like Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, GM, and many others.
Do I have to bring the car to you, or can you come to my location?
We come to you. Our technicians operate fully stocked mobile units that function as workshops on wheels. Whether you’re locked out at work, stuck at the grocery store, or stranded late at night, we’ll meet you at your location and get you back in your vehicle — fast.
What if my key broke off in the door or ignition? Can you fix that?
Yes. Broken key extraction is one of our specialties. We remove the broken piece carefully without damaging the lock mechanism, then assess whether the lock or ignition needs repair. In most cases, we can cut a new key and get everything working again on the spot, saving you time and money.
Do you offer service for motorcycles and scooters, or only cars and trucks?
We do offer key and lock services for motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds — especially for brands like Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. Whether it’s a lost ignition key, broken gas cap lock, or seat compartment issue, we have the tools and knowledge to help two-wheel drivers get back on the road too.
