Key Fob Replacement & Programming On Site

Today's key fobs do a lot: they unlock the doors, talk to the immobilizer and, on push-to-start cars, let the car know the key is inside. When one stops working, the car may not start at all. Our vans carry dealer-grade programmers, so we can add a new fob to your car or reprogram one that has dropped off, usually in under 30 minutes.

We always test first. If your fob just needs a battery or a new shell, we will tell you rather than sell you a new remote.

What we handle

Key Fob Services

  • Replacement remotes and key fobs for most makes
  • Push-to-start / proximity smart key programming
  • Remote-head and flip key programming

  • Deleting lost or stolen fobs from the car
  • Cracked fob shell replacement
  • Fob battery and button troubleshooting

Bought a Fob Online?

We are happy to program it, as long as it is the right part for your vehicle. Fobs vary by frequency, chip and part number even within one model, and some online sellers ship look-alikes that cannot be programmed. Send us the part number or a photo of the back of the fob when you call and we will check before we come out.

Push-to-Start Smart Keys

Proximity keys for keyless entry and push-button start are some of the most expensive keys at the dealer. We cut the emergency blade, program the smart key to your car and test every function: lock, unlock, trunk, remote start where fitted, and starting the engine.

  2. We come to you

    A fully equipped Smart Locks van heads to your location, usually within 20 to 30 minutes in most of Tampa Bay.

  3. Job done on the spot

Questions

Key Fob & Remote Programming FAQ

How much does a new key fob cost?

Smart fobs and push-to-start keys usually range from $180 to $400 including programming, depending on the vehicle. Simple remotes cost less. Call with your year, make and model for an exact price.

Do you program key fobs on site?

Yes. Our vans carry dealer-grade programming equipment, so fobs, transponder chips and smart keys are programmed at your location, usually in under 30 minutes.

My fob stopped working. Do I need a new one?

Not always. It may just need a battery, a new shell or reprogramming. We test it first and tell you honestly.

Keys by make

Car Keys for Every Make

Lost key, new fob or a spare: we cut and program keys for these makes on site. Pick yours for models, key types and common fixes.

I lost the only key to my car. After struggling with the car dealership, a tow company, and AAA, I found Smart Locks. Not only was the service quick (5 minutes to make two keys without an original) it was also professional and courteous. And the best part- around 1/2 the price the dealership was going to charge me for 1 key. I absolutely will call Smart Lock next time and will instantly recommend it to everyone else.

Outstanding customer service. Danny is reliable, quick and professional. He came out on a Sunday night to the airport and got us going again in a few short minutes. He was communicative, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about his service, and highly recommend him for your commercial and residential needs.

I'm extremely satisfied with smart locks, I went on vacation in Tampa, lost my rental car keys in the middle of the night, I called two other companies that was closed but Danny from smart locks was able to arrive within half an hour and make me a key in no time! Extremely fast, friendly and professional service, thank you Danny

I locked myself out of the car and left the keys on the front seat. Along with the car keys was my house key. After calling a few different locksmiths, I got in touch with Danny. He was personable, professional, and quick to respond. The price he quoted me beat everybody else's and he was able to get the job done super fast. Through it all he was able to display the kind of demeanor that would keep a client relaxed during a stressful situation.
