Car Locksmith in Point Loma

Mobile car lockouts, key replacement and fob programming in Point Loma, 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM, every day.

Every day, 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM

Point Loma is a peninsula, and the far end of it is a long way from anywhere. That matters when you are stuck out there. Call us for a car locksmith in Point Loma and we drive to your car, at the marina, at Liberty Station, or up the hill near the lighthouse, and do the whole job on site.

The peninsula collects boats, hotels, and the Navy. Boat owners lose car keys in the water at Shelter Island. Hotel guests along the marinas lock the fob in the trunk. Sailors at Naval Base Point Loma get off a long shift and find a fob that quit. It is the one part of our area with a national park at the end of the road, and that park gate closes in the late afternoon.

Where in Point Loma we come to you

Point Loma for us means the whole peninsula, from the Interstate 8 end of Rosecrans Street out to the lighthouse. That includes Liberty Station, Loma Portal above it, Roseville and La Playa along the bay side, the marinas and hotel row on Shelter Island Drive, the Wooded Area and Catalina Boulevard on the way to Cabrillo National Monument, and the streets above Sunset Cliffs on the ocean side. We come to the shared lots at Liberty Station, the yacht club lots off Anchorage Lane, the campus lots at Point Loma Nazarene University, driveways on the hill, and the gates of Naval Base Point Loma.

Common calls from Point Loma

Locked out at Point Loma Seafoods

The order is on the counter, the car is in the lot on Emerson Street, and the key is on the passenger seat. The lot is small and the spaces turn over quickly, so people tend to hover. We open the door without touching the paint and you are back in the car with the food still warm.

Key snapped in the door at Cabrillo

A stiff lock on an older car, a hard twist by the tide pools, and half the key stays in the door. The monument shuts its gate before evening and the rangers want cars out ahead of it, so call as soon as it happens. We come up Catalina Boulevard, extract the piece, cut a new key on the spot, and you drive out ahead of the closing.

Hardware-store key will not start in Roseville

Someone had a key copied on Rosecrans Street and it fits the door and the ignition, but the car reads a blank chip and refuses to start. That is a transponder problem, not a cutting problem. We program a new chipped key in your driveway in Roseville or La Playa, and if the copy has a chip in it we can add that one to the car too.

Parking, gates and meeting up in Point Loma

Tell us which part of the peninsula first, since Rosecrans Street is long and the marinas and Liberty Station sit on opposite sides of it. On Shelter Island, the hotel name or the boat launch at the end of the road is enough, and the public lots there stay open in the evening. For Cabrillo National Monument we pay at the entrance station, so the earlier you call the better. At the base gates we wait on the public side of Rosecrans; on the cliffs, count pullouts from Ladera Street so we stop at the right one.

How a visit works in Point Loma

  1. Call or text (619) 313-6749. Tell us where the car is in Point Loma, the year, make and model, and what happened. You get the price before we leave Coronado.
  2. We drive to the car. Wherever it sits in Point Loma: a garage level, a valet lot, a driveway or the curb. We text when we are close.
  3. Done at the curb. We open the car or cut and program the key on the spot, test it with you, and you drive away.

Where we meet you in Point Loma

The places locals call from most, and what usually goes wrong there.

  • Liberty Station

    Free shared lots between the restaurants, the market, and the arts district, and the Public Market has a lot of its own. An easy place to lock the key in the car while loading groceries. Tell us the building you are nearest and we open the car without a mark on the door.
  • Shelter Island hotels and marinas

    Shelter Island Drive is one road in and one road out, with hotel lots on the bay side and the public boat launch at the end. Keys fall off docks. Fobs go for a swim in a pocket. We make a new key in the marina lot and program it to the car.
  • Cabrillo National Monument

    One entrance road and a gate that closes in the late afternoon. If you are locked out near the visitor center, call early so we can get up there before the gate closes.
  • Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

    Dirt pullouts along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and the lot at the end of Ladera Street. Tell us which pullout, since they all look the same from the road, and we cut a working key beside the car.
  • Rosecrans Street

    The main road through the peninsula, with shopping centers and strip lots. Broken keys and worn ignitions show up here, and we fix both at the car.
  • Naval Base Point Loma

    The base has more than one gate along Rosecrans Street, so tell us which one you are near. Fob replacement and spare keys are the common calls from the base, and we bring the fob with us.

Point Loma questions

Can you reach me at Cabrillo before the park closes?

Usually, if you call with time to spare. The park closes in the late afternoon. Tell us where you are parked and we will let you know whether we can make it in.

I am at Sunset Cliffs and the light is going. Can you still come?

Yes. We work until 10:30 PM. The pullouts along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard have no lighting, so put your hazards on, stay by the car, and tell us which pullout or cross street you are at.

Do you meet people at Naval Base Point Loma?

We do. We meet you outside the gates or wherever base security allows, and we do the work at the car.
