Mercedes-Benz keys are not simple pieces of metal. On a C-Class or E-Class, the key is tied to the car's security system, so a new one has to be cut or generated, then matched to your vehicle. A hardware-store copy will not start the car. That is why a lost or damaged Mercedes key is stressful, especially when you are stranded far from home.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to get to. Our technician drives to your Mercedes in Santa Monica, whether it is in a beach lot, a garage or at the curb, and handles the work right there. No tow truck or dealership trip is needed.
How it works in Santa Monica
- 1
Call and share the details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the car is, whether it is a C-Class or E-Class, and what happened: lost key, a spare you want added, or no working keys at all. Have the VIN ready, as it helps us confirm the correct key for your car.
- 2
We come to your car
Our mobile technician drives to your location in Santa Monica. Everything is done on site, so your Mercedes stays where it is parked.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We ask for proof that the car is yours and check the VIN to confirm the exact key your vehicle needs. We do not guess at key type from the model name alone.
- 4
Make and program the new key
We cut or prepare the key as needed and program it to your Mercedes using professional equipment. This works whether you have a spare or have lost every key.
- 5
Test before we leave
We test the key to confirm it starts the car, locks and unlocks the doors, and that any remote functions work. You leave with a key you can trust.
What affects the price
- Whether you still have a working key (adding a spare) or have lost every key, since all-keys-lost work takes more effort
- The key type your Mercedes uses, such as a push-button smart key versus a bladed high-security key, confirmed by VIN
- Model and model year differences between C-Class and E-Class vehicles
- Whether the key needs cutting, programming, or both
- Time of day and how difficult it is to reach the vehicle, since we operate 24/7
Mercedes-Benz keys across Santa Monica
Santa Monica is full of places where a Mercedes key can go missing: a day at the Santa Monica Pier, shopping on Third Street Promenade, a walk through Palisades Park, or a stop at Santa Monica Place. We have helped drivers in Ocean Park, Sunset Park, North of Montana, Pico, Wilmont and Downtown, and we come right to the car, even on a street or in a tight parking structure.
We serve all Santa Monica ZIP codes, including 90401, 90402, 90403, 90404 and 90405. If you are near Montana Avenue, Bergamot Station or Santa Monica College and your C-Class or E-Class will not start for lack of a key, call (323) 997-8867 and we will bring the key-making to you. Coastal air and busy streets do not change the process: we confirm by VIN and test before we leave.
