Did your remote fob fall off?

Unlike your dealer, we don’t charge extravagant amounts for a simple key programming operation. We’ll also replace the fob for you, regardless of your vehicle type/model.

Why do car keys need to be programmed?

Are you wondering why key programming is necessary? Every transponder key has a magnetic chip on it. This chip contains a special code that is read by the car’s Engine Control Unit. If the code matches the one in the ECU, the car’s immobilizer will stop operating and the vehicle will start. If the code isn’t right, though, the car won’t start. This prevents thieves with transponder key clones from stealing any car they want. Without the key programming , you simply won’t be able to start your vehicle either.
