When San Luis Obispo Drivers Need Key Fob Replacement
Your fob is lost or stolen
A missing fob can leave you without a working way to access or start your vehicle. Tell us whether you have another working key; we also make a new car key on site when all keys are lost.
The buttons or casing are damaged
Cracked buttons or a damaged case can make a fob difficult to use. We offer key fob repair and replacement, so we can check what kind of service the damage calls for.
The fob stopped working
A fob that no longer responds may need a battery replacement, repair, or programming rather than a full replacement. We offer each of these services and can assess the fob at your vehicle.
You want a spare before the original is lost
Having a spare key fob can give you another working option if your main one goes missing or is damaged. We provide key duplication and fob services; tell us whether your current key still works.
You are stranded away from home
Our mobile locksmith service comes to your location in San Luis Obispo and Central Coast towns we serve. For a separate car lockout, we can help with that service too.

What Our Key Fob Replacement Service Covers
- Fob replacement — We replace a lost or damaged fob. Tell us the vehicle’s year, make, and model so we can check the service needed and quote the work.
- Key and fob replacement — When the complete key-and-fob setup is missing or damaged, we can assess the replacement needed. We also make a new car key on site when all keys are lost.
- Key fob programming — We offer programming for a replacement fob. Programming starts at $70; the quote depends on the work required for your vehicle.
- Fob repair — When a fob is damaged but may not need complete replacement, we offer repair. We check the fob and its condition before quoting the job.
- Fob battery replacement — We offer key fob battery replacement for a fob that may only need a new battery. We can check this alongside repair or replacement needs.
- Key duplication — We offer key duplication if you want an additional key. Let us know whether you need a spare key fob or a different type of key.

How We Handle Key Fob Replacement at Your Vehicle
- Call with the vehicle details — Tell us where the vehicle is, its year, make, and model, and what happened to the fob. Say whether you have another working key or have lost every key, since that affects the service to quote.
- Get a quote for the work — We use the information you provide to identify whether you need a fob replacement, programming, repair, battery replacement, or a combination of services. We give you the price before the work begins.
- We come to your location — We are a mobile locksmith and perform the service at your vehicle. In San Luis Obispo, typical arrival is within 15 minutes; towns farther out get the next available locksmith.
- We complete the agreed service — We carry out the quoted work, such as replacing or programming a fob, repairing it, or making a new key when all keys are lost. The parts and labor carry at least a 6-month warranty.
What Affects Key Fob Replacement Cost
The price depends on what your vehicle needs: a replacement fob, programming, repair, a battery, or more than one of these services. A key-and-fob replacement may involve different work than programming a fob you already have, so share the vehicle details and describe what is missing or damaged when you call.
Key fob programming starts at $70, and car key replacement starts at $110. A $29 service call applies; we quote the specific work before starting. For service in San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast towns we serve, contact us for a quote with your vehicle details.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a new car key if I lost every key in San Luis Obispo?
Yes. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost. Call with the vehicle’s year, make, and model and tell us that no working keys remain.
Do you come to Santa Maria or other Central Coast towns for fob service?
Yes. We serve San Luis Obispo and Central Coast towns within 30 miles, including Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, and Templeton. In towns farther out, we send the next available locksmith rather than promising the San Luis Obispo arrival time.
What should I tell you when I call about a fob key?
Share the vehicle’s year, make, and model, your location, and whether the fob is lost, damaged, or unresponsive. Also tell us if you have another working key, because losing every key calls for a different service than replacing a spare.
Can you repair a fob instead of replacing it?
We offer key fob repair as well as replacement, battery replacement, and programming. We check the fob and the work needed at your vehicle before quoting the service.
Does key and fob replacement include programming?
We offer both replacement and key fob programming, but the work depends on what your vehicle needs. Tell us whether you already have a replacement fob or need one supplied, and we will quote the required service.
Can I get a spare fob before my current one stops working?
We offer key duplication and fob services, so you can ask for a spare while your current key still works. When replacing key fobs, tell us what type of key you have and your vehicle details so we can quote the job.
