No towing. No appointments. No three-digit service fees for basic programming that should cost a fraction of dealer prices.

We handle basic key fobs, smart keys, proximity fobs, push-to-start systems, and transponder key programming for all vehicle makes and models. From 2000 Honda Civics to 2024 luxury vehicles with advanced security features.
Edgmont residents deal with a mix of older reliable vehicles and newer high-tech cars, often in the same household. We stock parts and have programming capabilities for this entire range, which means we can usually complete your service in one visit.
Our mobile service eliminates the hassle of coordinating tow trucks or rental cars that dealership service typically requires. You get professional key fob replacement without disrupting your day or paying inflated dealer labor rates.
Most key fob replacements cost $150-$300 through our service, compared to $300-$600+ at dealerships. The exact price depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and the complexity of the key fob system.
Dealerships charge premium labor rates and often require you to pay for diagnostic time even for straightforward programming. We include programming in our service price and use the same OEM-quality parts without the dealership markup.
Smart keys and push-to-start systems cost more due to their advanced technology, but you’ll still save significantly compared to dealer pricing while getting the same professional results.
Yes, we specialize in total key loss situations. Even without any working keys, we can create and program new key fobs for most vehicles using our professional diagnostic equipment.
The process involves connecting to your vehicle’s computer system through the OBD port to program new keys from scratch. We’ll need proof of ownership (registration, title, or insurance card) to verify the vehicle belongs to you.
Total key loss typically takes 30-45 minutes and costs more than standard key duplication, but it’s still significantly less expensive than dealership service and eliminates the need for towing.
We handle key fob replacement and programming for virtually all makes and models, from domestic brands like Ford and Chevrolet to imports like BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, and Honda. Our mobile service carries equipment for both older and newer vehicle security systems.
Some luxury vehicles or very new models may require special procedures or parts that take additional time, but we can typically source and program keys for any vehicle currently on the road. We’ll let you know upfront if your specific vehicle requires any special considerations.
Our technicians stay current with the latest automotive security technology and have the diagnostic tools needed for everything from basic transponder keys to advanced proximity fobs.
Most key fob replacement and programming takes 20-30 minutes once our technician arrives at your location. Basic key fobs are usually faster, while smart keys or push-to-start systems may take up to 45 minutes.
The actual programming process is typically just a few minutes, but we also cut the key blade (if needed), test all functions, and make sure everything works properly before we consider the job complete. We don’t rush through the process because getting it right the first time saves everyone time and frustration.
Weather conditions or vehicle-specific requirements might add a few minutes, but we’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call so you can plan accordingly.
In most cases, your existing key fobs will continue to work normally after we program additional ones. Most vehicles can store multiple key fobs in their memory without affecting the others.
However, if your old key fob was lost or stolen and you want to ensure it can’t be used to access your vehicle, we can delete it from the system during the programming process. This is a security feature that prevents lost or stolen fobs from working.
We’ll discuss your specific security preferences when we arrive and can either add new fobs while keeping old ones active, or reprogram the entire system to only recognize the new fobs you authorize.
Yes, we provide emergency key fob replacement service throughout Edgmont and surrounding Delaware County areas. We understand that key fob problems don’t happen on a convenient schedule.
Our emergency service typically responds within 30-45 minutes during business hours, and we offer after-hours service for urgent situations. Emergency service may include additional fees for immediate response, but we’ll quote you the total price upfront.
We keep our mobile units stocked with the most common key fob blanks and have the equipment needed to handle emergency programming for most vehicle makes and models without delay.
