About this service

Modern fobs are small computers, and when one is lost or fails, the car often will not budge. We bring dealer level programming equipment to you, pair a new fob to your vehicle, and remove lost fobs from memory so they no longer work. You skip the tow, the dealer wait list, and usually a chunk of the dealer price.

When to call

  • A fob was lost, stolen, or went through the wash.
  • Your fob buttons stopped responding even after a new battery.
  • Push to start does not detect your fob.
  • You want a spare fob paired before you need it.
  • A used car came with only one working fob.

How it works

Confirm the fob type

Text your vehicle year, make, and model. We confirm whether you need a remote fob, a proximity fob, or an integrated key fob, and quote it before we drive.

Mobile programming visit

The locksmith arrives with the correct fob stock and programming tools. Your car never has to move.

Pair, purge, and test

We program the new fob, delete lost fobs where the vehicle supports it, and test locking, unlocking, remote start, and push to start before leaving.

What to expect

  • OEM equivalent fobs for most makes and models.
  • Lost and stolen fobs removed from the vehicle memory when supported.
  • Emergency blade keys cut to match when the fob includes one.
  • Every function tested in front of you.
  • A clear quote before programming starts.

Good to know

Key Fob Programming questions

Is a locksmith fob as good as a dealer fob?

We supply OEM equivalent fobs that meet the vehicle specifications. They lock, unlock, and start the car exactly like the original.

Can you disable a stolen fob?

On most vehicles yes. We reprogram the system so the missing fob no longer starts or unlocks the car, which is the most important security step after a theft.

My fob works sometimes and fails sometimes. Why?

Intermittent fobs usually mean a failing board or a vehicle antenna issue. We diagnose which one it is on site and quote the fix before doing anything.
