My Granite Hills home is on a hillside with multiple outbuildings, can you key everything alike?

Yes. Multi-structure keyed-alike rekey is a common local job type on the rural-edge Granite Hills properties. The matched independent locksmith rekeys or replace cylinders on the residence and any outbuildings (storage, equipment, secondary structures) so everything opens with a single key. For larger properties with multiple access tiers (homeowner master, family access, service access), the matched independent locksmith can design a full master-key system instead. The locksmith quotes from cylinder count and multi-structure keyed-alike scope.

How much does a car lockout cost?

It depends on the vehicle, access point, time of day, location, and whether the key is broken or missing. Ask what the estimate includes and what findings could change it before authorizing work.
