Warm Springs is the newest part of Fremont, and the housing shows it. Townhome and condo rows off Warm Springs Blvd and South Grimmer Blvd went up in the last decade with keypad garage entries, builder smart locks and HOA hardware lists. The usual call is a smart lock that stopped responding after a battery swap, or a family that moved in and still has whatever key the builder handed over. A rekey runs $22–$38 per cylinder and puts the front door, garage side door and back door on one key in a single visit. Smart lock installs run $165–$420 depending on the model your HOA allows.
Arrival here runs longer than most of Fremont. Shift change at the Tesla factory, Warm Springs/South Fremont BART traffic and the I-680 merge at Auto Mall Pkwy can stretch the drive, so figure closer to half an hour than the citywide average. Car lockouts at the BART garage and the Pacific Commons lots are steady work, and the tech carries fob programming gear for the commuter cars parked there all day. Business calls come from the industrial parks along Kato Rd and Fremont Blvd south, mostly panic bar repairs and lost-key lockouts after hours.
Say whether the address is inside a gated HOA community and give the pedestrian gate code, since many Warm Springs complexes have no visitor call box.

FAQ
Questions people ask before they call
How fast can a technician reach my part of Fremont?+
The citywide average is about 25 minutes. Centerville and Irvington usually see the van in 18, Glenmoor and Sundale in 20, Niles and Ardenwood in 24, Mission San Jose around 26, Warm Springs 28 and the Weibel hills closer to 30. Traffic on I-880 or Mission Blvd can stretch that, and the ETA given on the call reflects it.
Is the price on the call really the final number?+
Yes. The figure confirmed on the call, including the $89 service call and any evening or overnight surcharge, is what appears on the card receipt. The only way it changes is if you ask for extra work at the door, like a rekey after a lockout, and you approve that as its own line before it starts.
Do you drill locks?+
Only as a last resort and only with your approval. Residential and most commercial locks open with picks, decoders or bypass tools, which leave the hardware working. If a lock is too damaged or too secure to pick, the tech explains the drilling option and the replacement price before touching it, and you decide.
What ID do I need to show?+
For a home, a driver's license or ID with the address, or a lease, mail or utility account on your phone if the address does not match. For a car, ID plus registration or insurance. For a business, ID plus a lease, license or a call from the owner. No proof, no opening.
Can you make keys for a Tesla bought at the Fremont Auto Mall?+
Tesla key cards and phone keys are added through the car's screen and the Tesla app rather than cut or programmed by a locksmith, so for a Tesla the answer is a lockout opening only. Other EV and hybrid makes sold on Auto Mall Pkwy, including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Ford and Toyota, use smart fobs that are programmed on site.
I live in an HOA townhome in Warm Springs. Can you rekey it?+
Yes. Rekeying changes only the pins inside your lock, not the hardware the HOA sees, so it almost never requires approval. Exterior smart locks may need a finish that matches the community's approved list. If your HOA holds a master key for utility closets, say so on the call and the tech leaves those cylinders alone.
Is there a surcharge for nights and weekends?+
Weekends and holidays cost the same as weekdays. Arrivals between 8pm and midnight add $35, and arrivals between midnight and 7am add $65. Both are stated on the call as part of the total, so a $109 daytime house lockout is $144 in the evening and $174 overnight, with nothing added later.
Do you cover Newark and Union City, or only Fremont?+
All three Tri-City cities, at the same prices. Newark averages about 22 minutes and Union City about 25. Milpitas, Hayward and North San Jose are reachable in 30 to 35 minutes and are covered too, though for those addresses the arrival estimate on the call is the number to trust rather than the citywide average.
