A broken or missing key fob can leave you stuck, especially with push-to-start vehicles. We supply and program replacement fobs and smart keys on site, and we can add a spare so you are never down to one.

Some online fobs will not program or are the wrong frequency. We stock quality fobs matched to your vehicle, and we tell you up front if a fob you already bought can be used.

Our process

How it works

  1. Identify the fob

    We match the part number and frequency to your VIN.

  2. Cut the emergency blade

    Most smart keys hide a metal blade that must be cut to fit your doors.

  3. Program to the car

    The fob is paired to the immobilizer and remote functions.

  4. Full test

    Lock, unlock, trunk, panic and start — all tested before we leave.

FAQ

Key Fob Replacement & Programming FAQs

Can I buy a fob online and have you program it?

Sometimes. Many online fobs are used, locked to another car, or the wrong frequency. Send us the part number and we will tell you if it can be programmed before you pay for a visit.

Is my fob just a dead battery?

Often it is. If the range has gotten shorter or it works only up close, try a new coin battery first. If that does not fix it, the fob may need repair or replacement.

How much does key fob replacement cost?

It depends on the vehicle and fob type. Push-to-start smart keys cost more than basic remotes. Call with your year, make and model for an exact quote.
