Mobile Service Zones - We Come To You

Our high-tech Sprinter Van deploys daily from our base off of Pinson Valley Parkway. To ensure the fastest service, we have divided our service area into two zones to service Pinson and the entire Birmingham Metro area.


Proudly Based in Pinson, AL off of  Pinson Valley Parkway


Aguila Lock & Key isn't just another search result; we are your neighbors. Our high-tech mobile lab deploys daily from our headquarters right here at 5281 Pinson Valley Parkway. We are deeply rooted in the Pinson community and understand the unique needs of Northern Jefferson County drivers.


We know that when you are locked out at Turkey Creek Nature Preserve after a hike, or you've lost your fob at the Alabama Butterbean Festival, you don't want to wait an hour for a technician to drive in from downtown Birmingham or Hoover. You need someone local. Because we are based right on Highway 79, we provide the fastest response times to Clay, Palmerdale, and Innsbrooke. We know the area, we know the roads, and we get to you fast without the "big city" wait times.

Why Our Pinson Valley Parkway Location Matters to You

In the locksmith industry, location is everything. Many companies advertising in Birmingham are actually dispatch services located out of state, passing your job to the highest bidder with no guarantee of quality or arrival time. Aguila Lock & Key is different. Our physical headquarters on Pinson Valley Parkway (Hwy 79) isn't just a pin on a map; it’s our home base for rapid deployment across Northern Jefferson County.


Being locally situated means we understand the area's specific needs. We know the winding routes around Chalkville Mountain Road in Clay and the quickest ways to get to customers in Palmerdale or near Cosby Lake. When you call us for a lost key replacement or an emergency unlock, you are speaking to a team that knows exactly where you are and how fast they can get there. We are your neighbors, providing the kind of meticulous, honest service you expect from a local family business.

Bringing Dealership Tech to the Wider Birmingham Metro

While Pinson is home, our high-tech Sprinter Van spends every day serving the greater Birmingham area. We recognize that drivers in busy hubs like Vestavia Hills and Hoover often drive newer, push-to-start vehicles with complex security systems. When these smart keys fail, or an Engine Control Unit (ECU) needs re-flashing, the default option has always been an expensive tow down I-65 to the dealership and a multi-day wait.


We change that dynamic. We bring our mobile lab directly to your office parking deck off Highway 280, your driveway in Greystone, or the Riverchase Galleria. We specialize in on-site programming for high-end domestic and Japanese vehicles common in these areas. We save busy professionals time and money by performing dealer-level diagnostics right where the car is parked, eliminating towing fees and dealership markups.

Serving Blount and St. Clair Counties

We also recognize that high-level automotive electronics capability stops at the city limits for many providers. We proudly serve rural areas north and east of Birmingham, including Oneonta, Remlap, Springville, and Moody. We know that farmers and tradesmen in these areas rely heavily on their trucks, and a stuck ignition or a failed Powertrain Control Module (PCM) means lost work. We routinely travel up Highway 75 and I-59 to provide advanced ignition repair and heavy-duty truck key programming in areas other locksmiths won't touch. Wherever you are in our service territory, our bilingual team is ready to get you back on the road quickly.

Frequently Asked Mobile Service Questions

  • Q: Where is your shop located, and can I bring my car to you?


    A: Our dispatch headquarters and high-tech lab are located at 5281 Pinson Valley Parkway. However, to provide the fastest service to everyone, we operate 100% mobile for customer repairs. Our Sprinter Van is a rolling dealership service bay designed to come directly to your home, workplace, or roadside location to perform all programming and key cutting on-site.

  • Q: Do you charge extra travel fees for areas like Hoover or Oneonta?


    A: No. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. When you text us your location and vehicle details, we provide a flat-rate quote for the entire job. We do not add hidden "mileage fees" or "service call trip charges" upon arrival. The price we quote text is the price you pay.

  • Q: I am in a rural part of Blount County (e.g., Remlap, Cleveland). Do you really come out this far?


    A: Yes. We know that finding high-level ECU programming and smart key generation in rural areas is difficult. We regularly service Blount County to save our customers from expensive long-distance tows to the Birmingham dealerships.

  • Q: How quickly can you arrive?


    A: Our response time depends on traffic and your exact location.

    • Zone 1 (Pinson, Clay, Trussville): We are neighbors; arrival is often very quick.
    • Zone 2 (Vestavia, Hoover, Alabaster): We deploy to the south metro area daily.
    • For the most accurate arrival time, please text your location to (205) 516-4483 for an ETA.

  • Q: Do I need to be present with the vehicle?


    A: Yes, for security purposes, we require the registered owner to be present with a valid ID to perform lost key replacement or ignition repairs.

  • Q: Do you service commercial fleets in Birmingham?


    A: Yes. If your business has a fleet of vehicles (cars, trucks, or vans) in the metro area, we can set up a commercial account for rapid mobile key replacement and ignition services at your job sites or lots.
