Losing a BMW key in Pasadena is stressful, whether it happens after a stroll down Colorado Boulevard in Old Pasadena, a day at the Rose Bowl, or a late shift near Caltech. Modern BMW keys are encrypted and paired to the car, so a hardware-store copy will not start it. Our technicians are fully mobile: we never ask you to tow the car to a shop, we come to wherever it is parked.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and BMW Comfort Access and encrypted keys are our specialty. We work on 3 Series and 5 Series vehicles in lost-key, spare-key, and all-keys-lost situations. The exact key your car needs is confirmed by its VIN, so we never guess or rely on a look-alike fob.
How it works in Pasadena
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your BMW model, year, and where it is parked. Have your VIN ready, visible at the base of the windshield or on your registration or insurance card.
- 2
We come to your car
A mobile technician drives to your location in Pasadena, whether that is a driveway in Hastings Ranch, a garage in Madison Heights, or a street space near the Playhouse District. No towing needed.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your 3 Series or 5 Series, whether it is a push-button Comfort Access fob or a bladed style key.
- 4
Cut, program, and test
We prepare the new key, pair it to the car, and test it thoroughly. That includes locking, unlocking, and starting. If you have any remaining keys, we can include them in the pairing.
What affects the price
- Key type: a push-button Comfort Access fob and a bladed key are different products, and the cost differs accordingly.
- Situation: adding a spare when you still have a working key is generally simpler than an all-keys-lost job.
- Model and year: the 3 Series and 5 Series span different generations with different key systems, confirmed by VIN.
- Number of keys needed: replacing one key versus several, or adding extra spares during the same visit.
- Time and location: after-hours, weekend, and holiday service can affect the quote. We give you the details on the phone.
BMW keys across Pasadena
We know Pasadena well. Our mobile service covers Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District (ZIP 91101), the quieter streets of Bungalow Heaven (91104), Madison Heights and Garfield Heights near the Norton Simon Museum and Pasadena City Hall (91101 and 91105), and the foothill neighborhood of Hastings Ranch (91107). We also serve the 91103 and 91106 areas, as well as the hospital and campus areas where a lost fob can mean a long day.
Our local work extends beyond cars. We have rekeyed original mortise and rim locks in a 1920s Craftsman in Bungalow Heaven while preserving its antique brass hardware, handled an emergency storefront lockout on Colorado Boulevard, and helped a tenant near Lake Avenue after hours. That same familiarity with Pasadena streets, parking, and event traffic around the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade route helps us reach your BMW and get you moving again.
