Four simple steps. Follow them in order and you'll get a fair price — even if it's the middle of the night.
Year, make, model, and whether it's push-to-start. The locksmith needs this to quote correctly.
"Do you cut AND program on-site? What's the total — including programming and any parts?"
Be ready with your driver's license and registration / title. A real auto locksmith will require it. That's a good thing.
"Starting at $29" is almost never the real price for a modern fob. Insist on a real all-in range.
The questions everyone asks the moment they pick up the phone.

For most vehicles, 30–60 minutes once the locksmith arrives, assuming they have your blank in stock.
