Request assessment of a key broken in a vehicle door, ignition, or trunk lock.
The fragment location and cylinder condition determine the work needed. Save the remaining key pieces and avoid pushing the fragment farther in. Extraction and making a replacement are separate parts of the job.
A damaged or seized cylinder may need repair or replacement after the fragment is removed.

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.
Location reference: San Diego Tourism Authority: Imperial Beach.
Call to confirm compatibility, the full quote, and the current arrival estimate. This is mobile service from Auto Key SD; see the Imperial Beach service-area guide.
The cylinder still needs assessment. If wear or a lock fault caused the break, extraction alone may not resolve the original problem.
Contact the rental company first to establish authorization and its preferred process. When calling us, explain that it is a rental and provide the vehicle details and the parking location.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
