If your car key or remote is not functioning, or even if it's a new fob that the car doesn’t recognize, we offer a fob, transponder chip key and smart car key programming services to match it specifically with your car and at the location of your choice.
In today’s cars, keys aren’t just identified but authenticated. For example, for your car to start or allow you entry into it, the transponder chip in the key must be confirmed by the security module in the car, if it doesn’t work then programming is what you need and we do it right there in your car.
Fobs that control the locking, unlocking, and trunk opening of the car.
Keys with an immobilizer chip programmed to allow the ignition.
Smart keys which allow push-to-start functionality.
We even program new fobs purchased from different online sources.
Battery replacement, water damage repair and sync may revive most fobs, these measures are discussed in more detail in our blog post on what to do in case a remote stops working. Should none of the above help, the remote may be recoded or require replacement.
