Discuss changing which mechanical key operates supported vehicle locks.
Rekeying changes a mechanical lock’s key match where its design and condition allow it. It may be relevant after theft or when the door and ignition keys no longer match. Electronic starting authorization needs separate consideration.
Not every cylinder can be rekeyed. Damage may require replacement, and chip-key programming may be additional work.

Imperial Beach includes the beachfront and the Tijuana River estuary area. Use the vehicle’s street address or parking entrance as the meeting point, rather than a location along a walking path.
If a beach visit left a fob wet or damaged, bring it to the appointment along with any spare. For a rental vehicle, contact the rental company about authorization before arranging key work.
