How Fob Replacement and Programming Works

  • We confirm your vehicle details and that it is yours.
  • We supply the correct fob and cut the emergency key blade if needed.
  • We program the fob to your car so it locks, unlocks, and starts.
  • We test everything with you before we leave.

Lost Your Only Fob?

Even if you have no working fob at all, we can usually supply and program a new one directly from the vehicle. Call with your year, make, and model and we will tell you what is possible, often the same day.

Battery or Full Replacement?

Sometimes a fob that seems dead just needs a new battery, which is quick and inexpensive. We check that first, and only replace the whole fob when it is actually necessary, so you never pay for more than you need.

Cost of Key Fob Replacement in Billings

The price depends on the type of fob, as a basic remote costs less than a proximity, push-to-start smart fob, and some makes are more involved to program. We give you a free quote up front and confirm it before any work starts, and because we are local and mobile, we are typically well below dealer pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you program a key fob to my car?

Yes. We supply and program remote fobs and proximity smart keys for most makes and models, right at your location.

My fob stopped working. Is it the battery?

Often, yes. We test the battery first, since a simple swap is cheap and fast, before considering a full fob replacement.

Can you replace a lost push-to-start fob?

Yes. In most cases we can supply and program a new proximity fob even if you have no working one left.

Is it cheaper than the dealership?

Usually, yes. We skip the tow and the dealer markup and come to you, so most drivers pay less.

How long does it take?

Many fobs are programmed in under an hour on site. Certain smart keys take a little longer, and we give you a time estimate when you call.
