Key Fobs and Push to Start Keys
A fob with no blade that you keep in your pocket is a smart key, and it must be paired to your car. National guides list about $250 to $600 or more, plus programming. Ask for one total price before we start.

Why a Key Can Start the Car and Still Not Lock the Doors
On a remote head or flip key, the buttons are paired in a separate step from the chip. That is why a key can start the car and still not lock the doors. Test every button before the technician leaves.

Quick Answers
Should I check the fob battery first?
Yes. Check your owner manual for how to reach the battery and the blade. If the fob still fails, call us and tell us the year, make and model.
