 
    Your key fob just died at the gas pump. Or maybe you're standing outside your locked car at Landmark Plaza with groceries melting in the trunk. Whatever the car key crisis, Duke Auto Locksmith gets it - and gets there. We're the car locksmith Alexandria drivers trust when things go wrong fast. No towing. No waiting at the dealership. We come to you, ready to get you back behind the wheel.
Here's the truth: car key issues rarely happen when you have time for them. That's why our mobile locksmith vans are fully equipped with key cutters, transponder programmers, and vehicle diagnostic tools. We handle most car key problems on-site - from unlocking your door to replacing your smart key or push-to-start remote.
Some of the real situations we handled just this month in Alexandria:
We help folks every day with things like:
 
    Here's what surprises a lot of customers: you don't need a spare for us to make a replacement. With your vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of ownership, we can create and program a new car key or fob - even if the original is lost for good.
Forget waiting three days and paying $500 at the dealership. We'll beat their timeline, come to your location, and offer transparent pricing every time.
We work with nearly every make and model, including domestic, European, and high-end vehicles. Don't waste time calling three places to find out if they do BMW or Land Rover keys. We already do.
Still unsure if we can help with your specific car? Call or text - our dispatcher will confirm it instantly. Chances are, we've done that exact make and model this week.
We're not a fly-by-night locksmith with a website and no storefront. We're local locksmiths - licensed, and fully mobile - and we back our work with guarantees.
But more importantly, we treat people like neighbors, not just customers. Like the time we made a last-minute spare for a couple heading to Reagan Airport, or helped a delivery driver who locked himself out mid-route. We're fast, but we're also human.
