Key fob not working? We can get it responding again.
When a fob stops unlocking the doors or the push-to-start does not recognize it, the cause is usually a dead battery, a worn button, or lost programming. We diagnose it at your vehicle and reprogram or replace the fob on-site.

A non-responsive fob does not always mean a trip to the dealer. Many fobs simply need a fresh battery or a quick reprogram. If the fob is cracked, water-damaged, or has truly failed, we can supply and program a new one right where your vehicle is parked. We handle push-to-start smart keys, flip keys, and traditional remote-head keys for most makes.

- 1Use the mechanical key or backup startMost fobs hide a metal key blade to unlock the door, and many push-to-start cars start by holding the fob against the start button or a marked spot. Check your owner's manual.
- 2Swap the fob batteryA coin-cell battery is the most common fix. If a new battery brings it back, you are set. If not, the issue is the fob or its programming.
- 3Note what still worksTell us whether buttons feel dead, the car ignores the fob entirely, or only some functions fail. It helps us arrive with the right parts.
- 4We test, reprogram, or replace itOur technician tests the fob, reprograms it to your vehicle if needed, or cuts and programs a brand-new fob on-site.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Is it just the battery or the whole fob?
- Try a fresh coin-cell battery first, since it resolves many fobs. If that does not help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement, which we can do on-site.
- Can you program a new fob without the dealer?
- Yes. We program and replace fobs as a mobile service and come to you. Call (984) 381-7611 to talk through your vehicle.
- My push-to-start will not detect the fob. Can I still drive?
- Often you can start the car by holding the fob against the start button or a marked location. We can then reprogram or replace the fob so it works normally again.
