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.
