Key Fob Replacement & Programming in Calera, Hoover & Birmingham

Key Fobs We Replace and Program

• Keyless entry remotes that lock and unlock the doors

• Flip keys with a folding blade
• Proximity smart keys for push-to-start vehicles
• Remotes with trunk, liftgate, and factory remote start buttons

Signs Your Fob Needs Attention

• The buttons only work when you're standing right next to the car.
• The dash says the key isn't detected, or it's detected only some of the time.
• The fob went through the wash or the case is cracked.
• You bought a used car that came with only one fob.

Weak range or an intermittent signal is often just a tired battery, which is worth trying first. If a fresh battery doesn't fix it, the fob may be damaged or may have lost its programming. Our article on why key fobs stop working covers the common causes.

Programming On-Site

Every fob has to be programmed to your specific vehicle before it will lock, unlock, or start the car. Some older vehicles allow simple onboard programming, but most modern cars need diagnostic equipment connected to the vehicle. We bring that equipment to you, program the new fob, and test every button before we leave.

Replacement Fob Options

Depending on your vehicle, replacement fobs may be available as original equipment or as quality aftermarket parts. We'll explain what's available for your car and quote it before we start.
