Key Fob Replacement

Triton Locksmith replace lost or broken key fobs for $125-$350 at your location. That includes the fob hardware, blade cutting (if applicable), and programming to your vehicle. All major brands. Takes 20-45 minutes.
What Exactly Is a Key Fob?
The remote device that locks, unlocks, and sometimes starts your car. Some fobs are separate from the key (you press a button on a small remote). Others are integrated into the key head. And newer proximity fobs don't even have a traditional blade. You just carry them in your pocket and the car unlocks when you approach.
Every fob contains a small transmitter that sends a unique rolling code to your car's receiver. When the code matches, the car responds. That's why you can't just buy a fob online and expect it to work. It needs to be programmed to your specific vehicle.
How Much Does Key Fob Replacement Cost?
$125-$350 depending on the vehicle and fob type. Basic remote fobs for older vehicles (pre-2015) run $125-$175. Integrated key fobs with transponder chips are $175-$250. Smart proximity fobs for push-to-start vehicles run $250-$350.
Dealerships charge $200-$500+ and make you wait 3-7 days for the part. We carry fob blanks for the most popular vehicles and program them at your location in under an hour.
Common Questions
Can you replace a key fob without going to the dealer?
Yes. That's exactly what we do. We carry fob blanks, cut any necessary blades, and program them to your car on-site. No dealer appointment, no tow, no waiting for parts.
How long does fob replacement take?
20-45 minutes. Basic fobs are faster. Proximity fobs with push-to-start take a bit longer due to the programming steps.
Will my old fob still work after you program a new one?
Usually yes. Most vehicles can have multiple fobs active at the same time. If you later find your old fob, it'll still work unless you specifically ask us to deactivate it.
Can you just replace the battery in my fob?
If that's all it needs, sure. Fob battery replacement is $10-$15. But if the fob case is cracked, buttons are worn, or the circuit board is damaged, replacement is better.
Do you carry fobs for all car brands?
We stock the most common ones (Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia). Luxury brand fobs (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) are sometimes ordered same-day. Call ahead and we'll confirm availability.
