Losing a car key in Camarillo rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might be in the Camarillo Premium Outlets lot after a long afternoon of shopping, outside a house in Mission Oaks as you head to work, or at the Camarillo Airport after a flight home. Whatever the setting, the problem is the same: the car is right there and you cannot start it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around coming to the customer. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no tow required. We bring key cutting and programming equipment to your car, wherever it is parked, and we answer around the clock.

Car key replacement covers a lot of situations: a single lost key, a broken key with the blade snapped off in the ignition or door, a worn key that no longer turns smoothly, or a transponder key that has stopped starting the car. If you have no spare and no original to copy, that is usually still workable. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what your vehicle needs.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Tell us about the car and where it is

    Call (323) 997-8867 and give us the make, model, and year, plus your location in Camarillo. Tell us whether you have any working key, a broken one, or nothing at all. This lets us bring the right equipment for your vehicle.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Our mobile locksmith drives to your car, whether it is on a Mission Oaks street, in a Spanish Hills driveway, at the Outlets, or near the airport. Because we are 24/7, late-night and weekend calls are part of normal service.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before making a key for any vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that the car is yours, such as ID matching the registration. This protects you and every other driver in Camarillo from someone trying to get a key to a car that is not theirs.

  4. 4

    Cut the key

    We cut a new key to match your lock, using the vehicle's key information rather than needing an original in hand. If the blade is broken, we also deal with any piece stuck in the lock or ignition.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    If your car uses a transponder chip or smart key, we program the new key to communicate with the vehicle. We then test that it opens the doors, turns the ignition, and starts the engine before we call the job done.

What affects the price

  • Type of key: a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, a remote-head key, and a push-button smart key involve different parts and different programming work.
  • Vehicle make, model, and year: some manufacturers make programming straightforward, while others require more specialized procedures.
  • Whether any original key exists: copying a working key is generally simpler than creating one from scratch when all keys are lost.
  • Number of keys needed: having a spare made while we are already on site is often more economical than a second call later.
  • Time and location of the call: after-hours service and difficult-to-reach locations can affect the overall cost.
  • Extra work: broken key extraction, a damaged ignition or door lock, or a worn cylinder may add to the job.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your vehicle anywhere in Camarillo, so there is no need to tow the car or find a shop.
  • In business since 1987: decades of locksmith experience in Ventura County and Greater Los Angeles back every job.
  • Keys made without an original: we routinely cut and program replacement keys when you have lost every key.
  • Owner-led: David Shar leads the business, so standards for the work come from someone who has been doing it for years.
  • Plain communication: we explain what your car needs and what affects the cost, without pressure to add services you do not need.
  • Ownership checks done properly: we verify that the car is yours, which is a sign of a legitimate locksmith.

Car Key Replacement across Camarillo

Camarillo is a car-dependent city. US-101 (the Ventura Freeway) and SR-34 (Lewis Road) carry commuters through town every day, and Las Posas Road, Ventura Boulevard, Daily Drive, Carmen Drive, and Pleasant Valley Road connect most neighborhoods. When a key goes missing, getting around without your car quickly becomes a real problem, and we aim to get you moving again right where you are parked.

We work across the city, from Old Town Camarillo and its historic district to the tract-home streets of Mission Oaks, the newer and partly gated homes of Spanish Hills, the hillside properties of Camarillo Heights, and the Leisure Village community. For residents in ZIP codes 93010, 93012, and 93011, a mobile visit means you can stay home or at work while the key is made. Many Leisure Village residents appreciate not having to travel when a key is lost or damaged.

We also help people away from home. Shoppers at Camarillo Premium Outlets, visitors to the Camarillo Ranch House, and travelers who park at Camarillo Airport near the Commemorative Air Force Museum sometimes find a key missing at the end of the day. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, and we will come to the car.

Do I need to tow my car to you?

Will you ask for proof that the car is mine?

What if my key broke off in the ignition or door?
We can remove the broken piece and then cut and program a replacement. Mention it when you call so we bring the right tools.
Can you program a transponder or smart key?
Generally yes, depending on the vehicle. Tell us the make, model, and year, and we will confirm what is involved for your car.
How much does a replacement car key cost?
It depends on the key type, vehicle, whether an original exists, how many keys you need, and when and where we are called. Describe your situation and we will explain what affects the cost.
Should I get a spare made while you are there?
It is a good idea. Since we are already on site with the equipment, a spare is often more convenient and economical than another emergency call later.
