View details →Almost every car built since the late 1990s uses a transponder — a tiny chip in the key head that the immobilizer has to recognize before it will let the engine start. That's why a hardware-store copy turns the lock but won't crank the engine: it was never coded to your car. A real automotive locksmith cuts the blade and programs the chip so the key both unlocks and starts.
Marin Locksmith carries transponder blanks and factory-level programmers for most makes, so we make working chip keys on-site — a spare, a full replacement, or a key for a used car that only came with one. Same visit, no dealer appointment.
Transponder chip keys typically run $130–$280 cut and programmed on-site, depending on the make and chip type. High-security and laser-cut keys are at the upper end. The $29 base fee covers the trip and we confirm the all-in price before dispatch. License #LCO8487.
We service Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Tesla, Lexus, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, GMC, Mazda, Acura, Infiniti, Volvo and most other makes and models — foreign and domestic.

Locked my keys in the car at a gas station at 1am. Called. They said 15 minutes, arrived in 12. Fair price and super professional. No upsell, no surprise charges.
Lost the only key to my Tacoma. Toyota wanted $450 plus a tow. Marin Locksmith cut and programmed a new transponder in my driveway in 25 minutes for $150. The bridge logo on the van made me trust them instantly — very local-feeling.
Moved into a new house and wanted the deadbolts replaced plus a smart lock on the front door. They quoted on the phone, the price didn't change, and they were done in under an hour. Cleanup was perfect.
Fired an employee on a Friday. Called Marin Locksmith. They had every cylinder rekeyed by Saturday morning so we could open Monday with new keys. Saved us a full week of stress.
Had to re-key six office doors because I lost the master. Everything was finished and tested in two hours. Honest, professional, fair price. Will call them again.
Rented a car at SFO and somehow locked the keys inside near the Mill Valley exit. Tech was there in 18 minutes, no damage, no drama. Just polite and fast.
