We handle every type of key fob issue Middletown drivers face. Dead batteries, broken buttons, programming glitches, water damage, or complete replacements – we’ve got the tools and expertise to fix it right.
Your service includes thorough testing to ensure everything works properly. Lock, unlock, trunk release, panic button, and remote start features all get verified before we consider the job complete.
Middletown’s car-dependent lifestyle means reliable key fobs aren’t a luxury – they’re essential. With average households owning two vehicles and most residents driving alone to work, a malfunctioning key fob disrupts your entire routine. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
Key fob replacement costs vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and key type, but we typically charge 30-50% less than dealership prices. Basic key fobs run $75-150 including programming, while smart keys with advanced features cost $150-300.
Compare that to dealership quotes that often exceed $400 for the same service. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
The final cost depends on whether you need a simple battery replacement, reprogramming, or complete fob replacement. Our technician will diagnose the issue and explain all options clearly.
Yes, we can program new key fobs even if you’ve lost all your original keys. This requires specialized equipment and verification of vehicle ownership, but it’s a routine service for our technicians.
We’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and title to verify ownership. Once confirmed, we can create and program new keys from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN number and manufacturer specifications.
This process typically takes 45-60 minutes and costs significantly less than dealership alternatives. You’ll receive fully functional keys that work with all your vehicle’s security and convenience features.
Most key fob programming takes 15-30 minutes once our technician arrives at your location. Simple battery replacements are even faster – usually completed in under 10 minutes.
Complete key fob replacements with programming typically require 30-45 minutes. Smart keys with advanced features may take up to an hour, but we work efficiently to minimize your wait time.
We arrive prepared with all necessary equipment and parts, so there’s no waiting for special orders or return trips. The job gets done in one visit, and you’re back on the road quickly.

Our equipment handles programming for virtually every vehicle make and model, including luxury cars with high-security systems. We use OEM-quality replacement parts and manufacturer-approved programming procedures.
Whether your vehicle uses traditional key fobs or the latest smart key technology, we have the expertise and equipment to provide reliable replacement and programming services.
Locksmiths offer significant advantages over dealerships: faster service, lower costs, and mobile convenience. While dealerships may quote $400+ for key fob replacement, we typically charge 30-50% less for identical service.
We come to your location within 20-30 minutes, while dealership appointments often require days or weeks of waiting. Our technicians use the same OEM-quality parts and programming equipment, so you get identical results at a fraction of the cost.
