Ford Key Replacement in San Luis Obispo: Key Types
Metal keys
Some older Ford vehicles use a basic metal key. The year and model matter because Ford key designs have changed over time, so tell us which vehicle you have when you call.
Transponder chip keys
Ford used chip keys on most models from the mid-1990s onward. The key contains a chip that needs to work with the vehicle, so a cut key alone may not be enough.
Remote-head and flip keys
Later keyed Ford models use remote-head or flip-style keys, with the remote built into the key. If the remote portion is damaged or missing, tell us whether you need a replacement key, fob service or both.
Smart and proximity keys
Many newer Ford trims use push-to-start and a proximity key or fob rather than a conventional ignition key. The exact setup varies by year and model; see our key fob programming service for related help.
What Changes the Price of Ford Key Replacement
Ford car key replacement starts at $110. The final price depends on the vehicle’s year and model, the type of key or fob it uses, whether programming is needed, and whether you need a spare or have lost every key. A metal key, a chip key, a remote-head key and a proximity fob are different setups, so the key type affects the work involved. Tell us the year and model when you call, and we’ll confirm the exact vehicle details and quote the service. For a quote, contact our mobile locksmith service.

Details to Have Ready for a Ford Key Call
- Identify the Ford — Have the model year and model name ready. Ford key systems vary across vehicles and model years, and we confirm the exact year and model on the phone before arranging service.
- Keep the VIN and proof of ownership available — The VIN helps identify the vehicle, while proof of ownership helps establish that you’re authorized to request a key. Keep both available when you call so you can provide the details as needed.
- Describe what happened to the keys — Tell us whether you have a working key, need a spare, have lost all keys, or are locked out. Also mention whether the key or fob is damaged; that helps us understand whether you need a new key, programming or lockout service.
