Hear from Our Customers
You’re not stuck waiting days for a dealership appointment or paying their inflated prices. When your key fob stops working, you need it fixed now – not next week.
That’s exactly what happens when you call us. Our mobile technicians come to you with fully stocked vans, program your new key fob while you wait, and get you back to your day. No towing bills, no rental cars, no missed work.
Your key fob will work like it’s supposed to. The programming is done right the first time using factory-grade equipment, so you won’t be calling us again in six months with the same problem.
The McCausland family has been solving lock and key problems since the late 1800s. We’re now in our fourth generation of locksmithing, with the fifth generation working alongside us.
That’s over 100 years of figuring out how to get people back into their cars, homes, and businesses. We’ve seen every type of lock, every brand of key fob, and every kind of emergency you can imagine.
We’re the largest locksmith company serving the Delaware Valley area, but we’re still family-owned. That means when you call, you’re talking to people who actually care about solving your problem – not just collecting a paycheck.
You call us when your key fob stops working or you need a replacement. We ask a few questions about your vehicle make, model, and year to make sure we bring the right equipment.
Our mobile technician drives to wherever you are – your home, office, or even if you’re stranded somewhere. They arrive in a fully stocked van with all the tools and key fobs needed for your specific vehicle.
The technician cuts your new key if needed, programs the key fob to sync with your car’s computer system, and tests everything to make sure it works perfectly. Most jobs are completed in 20-30 minutes while you wait. You pay once, and you’re done.

We handle all major makes and models – from basic key fobs to advanced smart keys with push-button start. Whether your fob is completely dead, lost, or just acting up, we have the solution.
Our service includes key fob replacement, programming, battery replacement, and repair when possible. We use OEM-quality parts that will last, not cheap aftermarket components that fail in six months.
For Parkside residents, this means you don’t have to drive to multiple dealerships hoping they have your key fob in stock. We stock the most common fobs and can get specialty ones quickly. Since most Parkside households own two cars and rely on them for daily commuting, we understand that every day without a working key fob disrupts your routine.
Most dealerships charge between $200-$500 for key fob replacement and programming. Our locksmith services typically cost 10-25% less than dealership prices.
The exact cost depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and the type of key fob system it uses. Basic key fobs are less expensive than smart keys with push-button start. We provide upfront pricing over the phone so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we arrive.
Unlike dealerships that often charge separately for the fob, programming, and labor, our mobile service includes everything in one price. You also save money by avoiding towing costs and rental car fees while waiting for dealership appointments.
Yes, we handle all major makes and models of vehicles. Our mobile vans carry programming equipment for domestic and foreign cars, trucks, and SUVs.
This includes everything from basic remote entry fobs to advanced smart keys with proximity sensors and push-button start systems. We work with Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and dozens of other manufacturers.
In the rare case where we don’t have your specific key fob in our mobile inventory, we can typically get it within 24-48 hours. That’s still much faster than most dealerships, which often take a week or more to order specialty keys.
A dead battery doesn’t mean you need a new key fob. Most key fob problems are actually just dead batteries, which cost under $10 to replace.
We can replace your key fob battery on the spot and test the fob to make sure it’s working properly. If the battery replacement doesn’t solve the problem, then we’ll diagnose whether you need programming, repair, or full replacement.
Many newer vehicles also have backup methods to start the car even when the key fob battery is dead. We can show you how to use these backup procedures so you’re never completely stranded, even if your fob battery dies unexpectedly.
Most key fob programming takes 20-30 minutes from start to finish. This includes cutting a new key if needed, programming the fob to sync with your car’s computer, and testing everything to ensure it works correctly.
More complex systems like smart keys or vehicles with advanced security features might take up to 45 minutes. We complete the work right at your location – whether that’s your driveway, office parking lot, or wherever your car is located.
You don’t need to leave your vehicle with us or arrange alternative transportation. Just wait while we work, and you’ll drive away with a fully functional key fob when we’re finished.
Yes, we provide emergency key fob replacement when you’re locked out or stranded. We understand that key fob failures don’t happen on a convenient schedule.
Our emergency service covers situations like lost fobs, completely dead fobs that won’t respond to new batteries, or damaged fobs from drops or water exposure. We respond quickly because we know you have places to be.
For true emergencies, we often arrive within an hour during business hours. Even after hours, we can typically reach you much faster than waiting until the next business day for a dealership appointment. Our goal is to get you mobile again as quickly as possible.
Yes, your newly programmed key fob will have all the same functions as your original. This includes remote lock/unlock, trunk release, panic button, and remote start if your vehicle came with that feature.
We use factory-grade programming equipment to ensure the fob syncs properly with your car’s computer system. The programming process registers the fob’s unique code with your vehicle’s security system, just like the dealership would do.
After programming, we test every function to make sure everything works correctly before we leave. If any feature isn’t working properly, we troubleshoot and fix it on the spot. You get a fully functional key fob that performs exactly like the one that came with your car.
