Being locked out of a car in Oxnard can happen anywhere: a parking space at The Collection at RiverPark, a gravel pull-off near the strawberry fields, a lot at Channel Islands Harbor, or a driveway in La Colonia. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so the shop comes to the vehicle. Nothing needs to be towed to a storefront, because we don't have one.

Our automotive work covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleet vehicles. That includes opening locked doors without damage, cutting and programming replacement keys when every key is lost, repairing worn or broken ignitions, extracting broken keys, and servicing key fobs and transponder systems. David Shar has led the company since 1987, and that long history with changing vehicle security is behind how we approach each job.

Oxnard is a working city. Farm trucks, delivery vans, harbor-business pickups, commuter sedans on US-101 and weekend beach cars all pass through, and each has different needs. A lost key for a fleet van is a different problem than a fob that stopped working on a newer SUV. We try to understand what you are driving and what you need before we start, then explain the options plainly.

How it works in Oxnard

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the make, model and approximate year, where the vehicle is parked, and what happened: keys locked inside, keys lost, a broken key, or a fob that won't work. That lets us plan the right tools and key blanks.

  2. 2

    We travel to your vehicle

    We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so we drive to wherever the vehicle is, whether that's a driveway in Oxnard Shores, a lot near Heritage Square or a roadside off Rice Ave. We don't make promises about arrival timing, but we will keep you informed.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before opening or making a key for any vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that you are the owner or authorized driver, such as ID matched to registration or other documentation. It protects you and every other vehicle owner.

  4. 4

    Assess and explain the options

    We look at the lock, ignition and key system, then explain whether the job is a simple entry, a key cut, a transponder or fob programming, or an ignition repair. You hear what's involved and what affects cost before work begins.

  5. 5

    Do the work on site

    We open the vehicle with methods that protect paint, weatherstripping and wiring, or cut and program the key at the vehicle. Ignition repair and broken-key extraction are done in place whenever it's practical.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we leave

    We test the new key in doors, trunk and ignition, confirm remote functions work, and check the vehicle starts. If you want a spare key, it's easiest to make one right then.

What affects the price

  • Type of service: a simple lockout is a different job than an all-keys-lost situation that needs a key cut and programmed from scratch.
  • Vehicle make, model and year: newer vehicles with transponder chips, smart keys or push-button start need more equipment and programming than older mechanical-key vehicles.
  • Key or fob type: a basic metal key, a transponder key, a remote head key and a proximity smart key all differ in parts cost and programming effort.
  • Vehicle type: motorcycles, RVs, work trucks and fleet vehicles can have specialized locks or multiple keys to coordinate.
  • Time and location: after-hours or late-night calls and more remote locations may affect the quote, and we explain this before work starts.
  • Extra work: broken keys, damaged ignitions or worn locks can add repair steps beyond the original call.

Why Oxnard chooses us

  • Fully mobile only: no storefront and no towing. We bring the tools, key blanks and programming equipment to your car, truck or RV.
  • Open 24/7: lockouts and lost keys don't keep business hours, and neither do we.
  • Family-led since 1987: owner and lead technician David Shar has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County for decades.
  • Wide vehicle range: cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, so one call can cover a household's vehicles or a small business's whole lineup.
  • Damage-conscious entry: we use professional techniques designed to protect paint, door seals and electronics, not shortcuts that cause new problems.
  • Plain explanations: you hear what the work involves and what drives the price before we begin.

Automotive Locksmith across Oxnard

Oxnard's vehicles live in very different environments. In Oxnard Shores and Hollywood Beach, cars sit close to salt air and sand, and door locks, trunk locks and key blades can wear faster in that kind of exposure. If a key has started to stick or turn roughly, getting it looked at before it breaks off in the lock is cheaper and easier than an extraction. Parking at Oxnard State Beach and Silver Strand Beach also means keys sometimes get lost in sand or water, and that's a common reason people call us for replacement keys.

Further inland, RiverPark and The Collection at RiverPark in ZIP 93036 are busy with shoppers, commuters and residents of newer apartments. Lockouts in big parking lots and structures are common there. Around downtown, Heritage Square and the Carnegie Art Museum, as well as La Colonia in 93030 and 93033, we see everything from older cars with worn ignitions to family vehicles that need a spare made. ZIP 93035 covers the harbor area, where boat trailers, work trucks and weekend vehicles around Channel Islands Harbor all have their own needs.

Oxnard's agricultural and industrial side adds work trucks, delivery vans and fleet vehicles that move along Rice Ave, Rose Ave, Wooley Rd, Victoria Ave, SR-232 and US-101. When a business has several vehicles, we can help with key duplication and replacement so a lost key doesn't stop the day's work. Wherever you are in Oxnard, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
