Tesla Key Card and Key Fob Replacement, Westchester NY
Tesla's access system is unlike any other make on the road. Model 3 and Model Y owners primarily use a key card or phone key, while older Model S and Model X owners have a traditional key fob. If your phone is dead, your key card is lost, or your fob has stopped working, you can find yourself locked out of a car with no conventional key slot to turn. We help Tesla owners in Westchester with lockout situations and key replacement options available to you.
Tesla lockout assistance starting at $120. Key card procurement and activation guidance. Quote on the phone, 24/7, no tow required. Call and we walk you through your fastest path back into the car.

Tesla Key Types and What We Can Help With
Key Card
Model 3 and Model Y use an RFID key card as the backup access method. The card taps the B-pillar or center console to unlock and start the car. If the card is lost, a replacement must be ordered through the Tesla app and then paired via the vehicle touchscreen.
Phone Key
Most Tesla owners use their phone as the primary key via Bluetooth. If the phone battery dies or the app loses pairing, access is lost. We help you regain entry and can assist with getting you to a charging source or backup key activation.
Model S and X Fob
Older Model S and Model X vehicles (pre-2021 refresh) use a traditional push-button fob shaped like a miniature Tesla. Replacement fobs are ordered from Tesla and must be paired via the vehicle touchscreen while you have at least one working key.
Physical Lockout Assist
If you are physically locked out of your Tesla with no access method working, we can reach the interior using professional non-destructive tools. We do not manufacture Tesla replacement keys, but we get you back inside and advise on the fastest path to a new access credential.

Tesla Lockout and Key Questions
Can a locksmith make a replacement Tesla key?
No, and anyone who claims otherwise is not being accurate. Tesla key cards and phone key credentials are managed through Tesla's proprietary system and must be paired via the vehicle's touchscreen while you have at least one valid access credential. What we can do is get you back inside the car physically using non-destructive entry, so you can then activate a replacement card or reconnect your phone.
How do I get back into my Tesla if my phone is dead and I lost my key card?
Call us first. We can open the car using non-destructive tools. Once inside, if the car has any charge, you can use the touchscreen to contact Tesla Support or use the Tesla app on any device to add a new key card. We can also tow you to the nearest Tesla Service Center if needed.
How fast can you reach a Tesla lockout in Westchester?
Typical arrival is 45 to 75 minutes anywhere in Westchester County. We give you a firm ETA on the call.
Do you charge more for Tesla lockouts than other cars?
Not necessarily. Standard non-destructive lockout entry is priced the same regardless of make. Call us with your location and we give you the exact price before we dispatch.
Do you serve all of Westchester for Tesla lockouts?
Yes. All of Westchester County including White Plains, Scarsdale, Bronxville, Armonk, Chappaqua, Rye, and everywhere in between. We also serve the Greenwich and Stamford CT area.
