Booking
Starting at $59: the price depends on your year, model and key type, so I confirm it with you after I verify your vehicle — before you commit to anything.
Adding or replacing keys on supported vehicles — transponder (PATS), fobik and smart keys programmed to your vehicle, and keys you've lost cleared from it so they can't start it. Starting at $59, and the price depends on your year, model and key type, so I verify your vehicle and your key first and confirm what's possible before you spend anything. Tell me what key you have and whether the blade needs cutting.
Adding or replacing a key on a supported vehicle: I program a new or spare transponder (PATS), fobik or smart key to your vehicle, at your home or wherever it's parked, using professional equipment. Starting at $59, and the price depends on your year, model and key type.
I program keys for Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Honda, Acura, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Ford vehicles, where supported. Key programming is its own job — it is not feature coding or module configuration. Those are separate services on their own vehicle lists, so a make that is on this list is not automatically on the coding list.
The same visit can clear keys you no longer have. If a key was lost or stolen it can be erased from the vehicle so it no longer starts or unlocks it — which is the part people usually want done the same day they notice a key is missing.
What this addresses
- You have a replacement key and need it programmed to the vehicle
- A key was lost or stolen and you want it erased from the vehicle
- You only have one working key and want a spare programmed
- A key no longer starts the vehicle
- You bought a used vehicle and want to know what keys it still recognises
Compatibility
Key programming is offered on supported vehicles across the ten makes I cover for keys: Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Honda, Acura, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Ford. What's possible depends on your year, model and key type: transponder (PATS), fobik or smart key. Compatibility varies by year, make and model, and I verify your vehicle and your key before you spend anything. Starting at $59, and I confirm the price with you after that check — before you commit. Programming covers the vehicle's electronic side: if your key's blade still needs cutting, or you need a new key supplied, say so before booking so that's sorted first. This is not a locksmith or dealership key service. Key programming and feature coding are different services: coding stays on its own vehicle list, and on Nissan and Infiniti it is personalization only, through Carista, where supported.
How mobile service works
- 1Tell me your year, make, model, engine — and what your car is doing (or what feature you want changed).
- 2I verify your vehicle and confirm the service is supported before you spend anything — compatibility varies by year, make and model.
- 3I confirm the price with you before I head out. Prices are starting prices. No travel fee within 10 miles of Chattanooga. Beyond 10 miles, a travel fee applies at $2 per round-trip mile, quoted up front before booking. Anything over 30 miles is outside our service area.
- 4I come to you — your home, your office, your driveway. No waiting room, no dealership lane.
- 5I work with professional equipment, report what I find, and deliver — a diagnostic report, a reset, a feature unlocked.
Common questions
What should I tell you before booking?
Your year, model and trim, what key you're programming (transponder or smart key), where the key came from, and how many working keys you still have. With that I can verify the job and confirm the price.
Which makes do you program keys for?
Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Honda, Acura, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Ford, where supported. Support depends on the year, model and key type, so send those and I'll verify yours before you pay anything.
Can you erase a key I've lost?
On supported vehicles, yes — clearing lost keys is part of this service, and it means that key can no longer start or unlock your vehicle.
Do you cut the key blade?
Programming the vehicle's electronics is what I do. If the blade isn't cut yet, tell me before booking so it's handled first and the key arrives ready to program.
Will this work on a push-button-start car?
Often, on supported years and models — smart keys are programmable on many of the vehicles I cover, but not all of them. Send your year, model and trim and I'll verify before you pay anything.

Ford key programming
A replacement fob won't start your truck until it's paired. I program it through Ford's immobilizer, at your truck — starting at $59.
