Need your car key fob replaced or reprogrammed? Auto Locksmith San Jose offers professional key cutting and fob programming services.
Call (408) 899-5558Most modern cars use a key fob — either a remote that works alongside a traditional key, or a full proximity smart key that lets you unlock and start the car without taking it out of your pocket. Fobs communicate with your vehicle's immobilizer using an encrypted signal, so a replacement fob has to be programmed to your specific car, not just purchased and used as-is.
We cut and program replacement fobs on-site, across San Jose and the South Bay, for most makes and models. Whether you need a spare, a full replacement after losing your only fob, or reprogramming after a battery change didn't fix the issue, we confirm your exact year, make, and model by phone before we head out.
Cost depends on your vehicle's year, make, and model, the type of fob (basic remote vs. proximity smart key), and whether it's a simple spare or an all-keys-lost situation. We confirm these details with you by phone before dispatching, so you know what to expect before a technician arrives.
Q: My fob's battery is fine but it stopped working — can you fix that?
A: Possibly — sometimes a fob needs to be reprogrammed or re-synced to the vehicle rather than replaced. We can assess this on-site.
Q: Can you make a spare fob if I only have one working fob?
A: Yes, we can cut and program a spare fob alongside your existing one for most makes and models.
Q: What if I've lost my only key fob?
A: We handle all-keys-lost situations on-site. This takes a bit longer than a simple spare since the new fob has to be cut and programmed from scratch, so we confirm your vehicle details by phone first.
