Lost Your Car Keys? Why a Mobile Locksmith is Better Than the Dealership

Our Family, Protecting Yours

We started Ben’s Lock & Key with a simple mission: to provide professional, honest, and reliable locksmith services without the “big city” jargon or hidden fees. As a family-owned business, our reputation is everything. When you call us for a automotive locksmith, you aren’t just another ticket number- you’re our neighbor.

Whether we are helping a local shop owner in the Cherry Hill Mall or re-keying a new home in South Jersey, we bring the same level of care and precision to every single job.

It’s a scenario every driver in Cherry Hill dreads: you reach into your pocket or purse at the Deptford Mall or after a long day at work, and your car keys are gone. In the past, this meant an expensive tow to the dealership, a 3-day wait for parts, and a bill that could make your head spin. But as your local automotive locksmith, Ben’s Lock & Key offers a faster, more affordable way to get back on the road.

As a family-owned business in NJ, we know that being stranded isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a safety issue. That’s why we’ve invested in the same high-tech diagnostic equipment that the dealerships use, but we put it in our mobile service vans so we can come directly to you.

Dealership-Level Technology, Small Business Service

Modern cars are essentially computers on wheels. Most keys made after the year 2000 contain a “transponder chip” that communicates with your car’s immobilizer system. If the chip isn’t programmed correctly, the car won’t start—even if the key turns in the ignition.

As a specialized automotive locksmith, we carry thousands of key blanks and fobs for almost every make and model on the road today.

  • Key Fob Programming: Whether it’s a push-to-start proximity fob or a standard remote, we can sync it to your vehicle on-site.
  • Laser-Cut Keys: Many luxury and modern vehicles use “sidewinder” or laser-cut keys. Our vans are equipped with high-precision cutting machines to duplicate these perfectly.
  • Ignition Repair: Sometimes the key isn’t the problem—the ignition cylinder is. If your key is sticking or won’t turn, our family-run team can often repair the ignition rather than replacing the whole steering column.

Saving You Time and Money in South Jersey

When you call the dealership, you are paying for their massive overhead. When you call Ben’s Lock & Key, you are paying for expert service and efficiency. We don’t have a “service advisor” desk or a fancy waiting room; we have a van full of tools and 30+ years of experience.

We serve all of Cherry Hill and the surrounding South Jersey suburbs. We know the shortcuts to get to you faster, whether you’re in Cherry Hill, Voorhees, or Marlton. We treat every car like it’s our own, ensuring no damage to your door locks or interior during the process.

We were very pleased with the service provided. The service was done at our house which was very convenient. The technician was very pleasant and the job was done quickly. And since we have AAA Premier we got a discounted price. We would highly recommend Ben’s.

Everyone here was great! Dominique helped answer all my questions ahead of time and was able to get me in on the schedule on the day I requested. I had a lot of questions and she worked through everything with me with kindness, patience, and was very knowledgeable and friendly!
