Mercedes-Benz Locksmith in Washington, DC

Mercedes-Benz keys, fobs and ignitions

Mercedes uses an electronic key that talks to the ignition switch rather than a cut blade. Key work depends heavily on year and model, so call with your VIN and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done on site. Lockouts are handled on all models.

Mercedes-Benz lockout

Locked out of your Mercedes-Benz? A technician arrives in 15–25 minutes anywhere in DC and opens it without damage. More about car lockout service.

Mercedes-Benz key made

If you lost your only Mercedes-Benz 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.

Mercedes-Benz key programming

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

Mercedes-Benz ignition repair and replacement

On turn-key versions of the Mercedes-Benz, 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.

What to have ready when you call

• Year, make and model, and whether it is push-to-start or turn-key
• The VIN (on the dashboard at the windshield, or on your registration or insurance card)
• Photo ID and proof the vehicle is yours
• Where the car is parked, including garage level if it is in a garage
