You’re getting 140+ years of locksmithing expertise, not a quick fix that fails next month. We use OEM parts and professional programming equipment because your time matters.
First, we verify your vehicle ownership and assess your specific key fob needs. Every car manufacturer uses different programming protocols, so we identify your exact requirements before starting.
Next, we connect our diagnostic computer to your car’s OBD port and communicate directly with your vehicle’s security system. This professional-grade equipment ensures proper programming without damaging your car’s electronics.
Finally, we test all functions – remote start, door locks, trunk access, panic button. You get a fully programmed key fob that works exactly like your original, often in less time than a coffee run.

Your car key fob replacement includes programming for all vehicle functions – door locks, remote start, trunk access, and panic features. We handle basic key fobs and advanced proximity systems that newer vehicles require.
Prospect Park drivers deal with temperature extremes that drain key fob batteries faster. We stock replacement batteries for immediate service and can diagnose whether you need battery replacement or complete key fob replacement.
From transponder key programming to smart key systems, we service all makes and models. Whether you drive a 2005 Honda or a 2024 BMW, our equipment handles your vehicle’s specific security protocols.
Most car key fob replacement jobs take 20-30 minutes from start to finish. We arrive at your location with professional diagnostic equipment and program your new fob on-site.
The actual programming process typically takes 10-15 minutes once we connect to your vehicle’s computer system. Complex luxury vehicle systems might need additional time, but we’ll give you an accurate estimate upfront.
Unlike dealerships that require appointments and multiple visits, we complete your key fob replacement immediately while you wait. No scheduling headaches, no delays.
Dealership car key fob replacement often costs $300-500 plus programming fees, and some require replacing your entire vehicle computer system for $2,500 or more. We provide the same professional service at a fraction of that cost.

Our mobile service means we come directly to your location – parking lots, office buildings, your driveway, or roadside. We carry common key fob models and programming equipment to handle most emergencies immediately.
Emergency service is available during extended hours because key fob problems don’t follow business schedules. Whether it’s early morning before work or late evening, we understand that reliable transportation is essential for Prospect Park residents.
We can replace just the key fob battery if that’s the issue, but many customers discover they need complete key fob replacement once we diagnose the problem. Battery replacement costs much less and takes just a few minutes.
However, if your key fob has been dropped, water damaged, or the internal circuits are failing, battery replacement won’t solve the problem. We’ll test your current fob first and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Sometimes what seems like a dead battery is actually a programming issue or internal component failure. Our diagnostic process determines exactly what your key fob needs, so you don’t waste money on unnecessary repairs.
