Being locked out of a car is rarely convenient, and in Camarillo it tends to happen in the middle of an ordinary errand: a lot at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, a driveway off Las Posas Road, a pullout along Pleasant Valley Road, or a parking space near the Camarillo Airport. Our automotive locksmith service is fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and the key-cutting and programming equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around practical, honest automotive work. That covers the common calls, such as a key locked inside, a lost or broken key, a worn ignition, or a fob that stopped working. It also covers less common ones: motorcycles, RVs, work trucks and small fleets that cannot afford to sit idle.

We answer around the clock, so a late-night lockout after dinner in Old Town or an early-morning problem before a commute onto US-101 gets the same attention as a midday call. We do not make arrival-time promises we cannot control, but we will tell you plainly what we can do for your specific vehicle, what the job involves, and what affects the final cost before work starts.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year, where you are in Camarillo, and what happened: keys locked inside, keys lost, a broken key in the ignition, or a fob that no longer works. Those details let us bring the right tools and, where needed, the right key blanks or programming equipment.

  2. 2

    Confirm the vehicle and your ownership

    For your protection and ours, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours before we open it or make a key. A registration, insurance card or matching ID is the usual way. This keeps the service legitimate and keeps your car safe from anyone who simply claims it.

  3. 3

    Get a clear scope and price conversation

    Before we begin, we explain what the work will involve and which factors shape the cost for your vehicle. If something changes once we see the lock, ignition or key system, we tell you before continuing, not after.

  4. 4

    Open, cut, repair or program on site

    Lockouts are handled with methods designed to avoid damaging paint, weatherstripping or door electronics. For keys, we cut and program at the vehicle, including transponder keys, remote fobs and smart keys where the system allows. Ignition and lock repair is done in place whenever possible.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We confirm that the key starts the car, the doors lock and unlock, and any remote functions respond. You should leave with a working key, ideally a spare as well, and a clear idea of what was done.

What affects the price

  • The vehicle's make, model and year, since newer and European models often use more complex key and immobilizer systems than older domestic ones.
  • The type of key involved: a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, a remote head key, or a smart proximity key each require different blanks and programming.
  • Whether you still have a working key. Duplicating from an existing key is generally simpler than creating one from scratch when all keys are lost.
  • The nature of the problem: a simple lockout, a broken key extraction, a worn ignition cylinder or a damaged lock all involve different amounts of labor and parts.
  • The time of day and the location of the vehicle, since we serve around the clock and travel to you across Camarillo and surrounding Ventura County.
  • The number of vehicles or keys in one visit, which matters for fleets, families with several cars, and anyone who wants spares made while we are there.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile only: we come to your vehicle in Camarillo instead of asking you to arrange a tow to a shop, which saves a step when you are stranded.
  • Service since 1987 under owner and lead technician David Shar, so the work rests on decades of hands-on experience rather than a call-center script.
  • Broad vehicle coverage, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleet vehicles, not just everyday sedans.
  • Straightforward pricing conversations: we explain what drives the cost before we start and tell you if the scope changes.
  • Ownership verification on every key and lockout job, which protects you from theft and keeps our work above board.
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, because lockouts do not keep business hours.

Automotive Locksmith across Camarillo

Camarillo is a car-dependent city, and the mix of places people park shapes the calls we see. Shoppers at the Camarillo Premium Outlets leave keys on a seat or in a bag and shut the door. Commuters running between the 93010 and 93012 areas and the US-101 on-ramps near Las Posas Road and Daily Drive sometimes find a fob battery has died at exactly the wrong moment. Out-of-town visitors to the Camarillo Airport and the Commemorative Air Force Museum occasionally lose a key during a trip, and we can help with those vehicles too.

Residential neighborhoods bring their own patterns. In Mission Oaks and the tract-home streets around the city core, families often have two or three vehicles in a driveway and want a spare key made before the next problem. Spanish Hills and Camarillo Heights, with their hillside streets and longer driveways, can make a tow especially awkward, so a technician who comes to the car is a real advantage. Around Old Town Camarillo, street parking near the historic district means lockouts often happen right at the curb, and we work there without needing to move the vehicle.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community in 93012, has many residents who prefer help brought to their carport rather than navigating a shop visit. We can make spares, replace worn keys and fix sticking locks at the vehicle. Whether you are in 93010, 93011 or 93012, along Ventura Boulevard, Carmen Drive, or SR-34 (Lewis Road), call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Automotive Locksmith in Camarillo — FAQs

Do you really come to me anywhere in Camarillo?
Yes. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. Whether you are at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, in a Mission Oaks driveway or on a side street in Old Town, call (323) 997-8867 and we travel to the vehicle.
Can you make a new car key if I have lost all of mine?
In most cases, yes. We can cut and program replacement keys on site for many makes and models, including transponder and smart keys. We will ask for proof of ownership first, and the cost depends on your vehicle and key type.
Will opening my locked car damage it?
Our methods are chosen to protect paint, door seals and electronics. We assess your vehicle first and use the approach best suited to it, so most lockouts are resolved without any damage.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need help and we will talk through the situation.
Can you help with a key broken off in the ignition or door lock?
Yes. We can extract broken key pieces and, if needed, repair or replace the damaged cylinder and cut a new key, usually right where the vehicle is parked.
Do you work on motorcycles, RVs and work trucks?
Yes. Besides passenger cars, we service motorcycles, RVs, trucks and fleet vehicles. If you manage several vehicles in a Camarillo business park, we can handle multiple keys in one visit.
What do I need to show to prove the car is mine?
Typically a registration or insurance document along with a matching photo ID. This verification protects you and is required for lockouts and key creation.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the vehicle, the key type, whether you have a working key, the kind of problem and the time and location of the call. We explain these factors before starting. For a conversation about your car, call (323) 997-8867.
