Cars and Locks
Cars and Locks is an auto repair shop and car locksmith in Littleton, Colorado, owned and operated by technician Charles Carmichael. The shop pairs two trades under one roof: full service auto repair for domestic and foreign vehicles, and automotive locksmith work centered on spare key and key fob programming. On the mechanical side the shop handles diagnostics, brakes, suspension, electrical, engine repair, battery replacement, AC service, transmission service, pre purchase inspections and programming, along with drivability concerns and complex electronic system troubleshooting. Charles began his career at a Subaru dealership in Littleton, spent over 10 years there and left as a Subaru Senior Master technician, so the shop also works as an independent Subaru specialist covering oil and filter changes, brake fluid flushes, fluid inspections, coolant, fuel induction service and spark plugs. Locksmith work is done entirely in shop rather than by a mobile technician, and covers key programming, fob programming, cylinder replacement, re-keying and key cutting for most makes and models. Customers are asked to call or text first with the year, make and model so the shop can confirm the vehicle and quote a price. Some lockouts and mobile service are handled if time permits. The shop is family owned and operated, maintains ASE Certification, uses current diagnostic equipment, attends training regularly and states that all of its work is guaranteed. Located in Littleton, it serves customers from throughout the Denver metro area, and can be reached by call or text at 720-742-0832.
