About
One technician. Car keys only.
Mystic Auto Key is a mobile automotive locksmith based in Somerville, MA. It is not a residential or commercial shop. It does not do house locks. Everything about it is about cars.
The business exists because car key replacement is a category full of bad experiences — unquoted prices, bait-and-switch service calls, and technicians who show up without the right equipment. The advantage of being one technician is that the person you talk to on the phone is the person who makes your key. I answer, I arrive, I do the work.
Push-to-start fobs and key fobs are made and programmed on the spot. Bladed keys are cut to your vehicle’s specification and fitted within a few days, so they are booked ahead. I do not claim a wider area than I can serve honestly — Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Arlington, Everett, and Malden.
The work is mobile. The car does not move. The key is made and programmed where the vehicle sits, which means no tow and no waiting for a dealer bay.
What is true today
- Proof of ownership required before any key is made
- The price quoted on the phone is the price paid — no bait-and-switch, no "the job turned out to be more complicated" upsell
- Every job documented: VIN, ownership verification, and work performed recorded and retained
Massachusetts does not license locksmiths at the state level, so no license number is listed. Insurance will be shown here the moment a policy is in force.
Where I go
Service area
I am based in Somerville, MA and cover an honest radius of about 9 miles — the six cities listed here. I do not claim towns that are forty minutes away, because the response time would not hold and the quote would not be honest.
