Honda Civic Locksmith in Washington, DC

Honda Civic lockout, keys and ignition service

The Honda Civic is a sedan we see regularly on DC streets and in DC garages. Honda switched to laser-cut high-security keys in the early 2000s, so most Hondas on the road use a key with a wavy groove milled into the side rather than teeth on the edge. Worn Honda keys and worn ignition wafers are a common cause of a key that will not turn, especially on older Civics, Accords and CR-Vs.

Honda Civic lockout

Locked out of your Honda Civic? A technician arrives in 15–25 minutes anywhere in DC and opens it without damage. On sedans the most common lockout is keys left in the trunk. Many models disable the inside trunk release when the doors are locked, so we open the cabin first and then release the trunk. More about car lockout service.

Honda Civic key made

If you lost your only Honda Civic key, we cut a new one by code or by decoding the lock and program it at the car, so no tow is needed. Have your ID and registration ready. More about car key replacement.

Honda Civic key programming

We program transponder keys, remote-head keys and push-to-start fobs for the Honda Civic, add spares, and erase lost keys from the vehicle on request. More about key programming and key fob replacement.

Honda Civic ignition repair and replacement

On turn-key versions of the Honda Civic, a key that sticks or will not turn usually points to a worn key or worn ignition cylinder. We repair or replace the cylinder where the car sits and match it to your existing key when possible. Push-to-start versions have no cylinder; no-start problems there are usually the fob or its battery. More about ignition repair.
