Can you program a fob I bought online?

Often yes, if the fob is the correct FCC ID and frequency for your vehicle and has not been locked to another car. Send us a photo of the fob before we dispatch and we'll confirm.

Do you program push-to-start smart keys?

Yes. Our mobile units carry the programming equipment for most keyless-ignition makes and models across Houston.

Will programming a new fob erase my old ones?

On some vehicles the manufacturer requires all keys to be re-learned. We tell you before we start, so bring every fob you own to the appointment.

What is the car key fob replacement cost in Houston?

Cost depends on the fob type — a basic remote is far cheaper than a proximity smart key. Give dispatch your year, make and model and you get the exact key fob replacement price in Houston before a technician is sent out.

Do you handle push to start key replacement and keyless entry remote programming?

Yes. Push to start key replacement and keyless entry remote programming in Houston are daily work for us, including smart key fob replacement for keyless-ignition trucks and SUVs.

“I got a key done for a Ford Expedition there, and although they were having some trouble with the key, they managed to fix the issue and gave me a good price on a OEM Ford key. I would definitely recommend them.”
