Every day, 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM
Mission Hills sits on the hill between Hillcrest and Old Town, quiet streets with big trees, older houses, and the older cars that go with them. A car locksmith in Mission Hills spends time in driveways and in front of detached garages, and that suits us. We come to the house, the curb on Goldfinch Street, or the lot at Presidio Park, and we do the work at the car.
Washington Street carries the traffic, Fort Stockton Drive and Goldfinch Street hold the shops, and the residential streets fall away toward the canyons on every side. The calls here are less about lost fobs and more about ignitions that have worn out, metal keys that snap in old locks, and a household that has been running on one key for too long. We handle all of it on site, without a tow.
Where in Mission Hills we come to you
Mission Hills for us runs from Washington Street on the Hillcrest side to the edge of Presidio Park above Old Town, and from the canyon rims down to Interstate 5. Goldfinch Street and Fort Stockton Drive are the neighborhood's main corner, with the shops on Lewis Street a few blocks over and Pioneer Park in the middle of the residential streets. Sunset Boulevard and the streets along the canyons hold the older houses with driveways and detached garages, and Presidio Park sits on the hill at the western edge. We work in driveways, in front of garages, on the shopping blocks, and in the park lots.
Common calls from Mission Hills
Only key lost on a walk in Presidio Park
A loop down the trails from the Presidio Drive lots, a key that fell out of a pocket, and nobody who is going to find it in the brush. The car is alone in the lot and the park is quiet in the evening. We cut and program a new key at the car, with your ID and registration, and you drive home rather than leave it overnight.
Ignition worn out on Fort Stockton Drive
Plenty of Mission Hills cars have been in the same driveway for decades, and the ignition is what wears first. One morning the key goes in outside the shops on Fort Stockton and will not turn at all. We come to the curb, repair or replace the cylinder, and cut a new key to match it, so the old worn key does not damage the new lock.
Locked out at Pioneer Park on a Saturday
The blanket is out, the stroller is up, and the key is in the diaper bag on the back seat. The streets around the park are full by mid-morning, so people are watching your space. We open the car at the curb without a mark on the door, and you are back on the grass before anyone notices you left.
Parking, gates and meeting up in Mission Hills
Give us the house number and where the car sits: on the street, in the driveway, or in a garage behind the house. If there is a gate, open it before we arrive. On the shopping blocks, tell us the store you are outside on Goldfinch, Fort Stockton or Lewis. At Presidio Park, name the lot along Presidio Drive. The hillside streets are narrow and some driveways are steep, so if the car is in a spot where we cannot park beside it, say so and we work from the curb.

How it worksMission Hills questions
My car is in a detached garage behind the house. Can you still work on it?
Yes. Open the garage or the gate and we work where the car sits. If the car needs to be outside for cutting and programming, we say so when we arrive and help you roll it out.
The ignition on my old car is getting harder to turn. Should I wait until it fails?
No. A cylinder that binds is the one that strips or snaps the key. We repair or replace the ignition in your driveway before it strands you, and we cut a new key to match it. See ignition repair.
Can you come to Presidio Park?
Yes. Name the lot along Presidio Drive or the nearest trailhead. The park is quiet after dark, so stay with the car and keep your hazards on.
