Key Fob Replacement on Tybee Island

A worn or lost key fob makes daily driving a hassle. We replace and program fobs and remotes so locking, unlocking, and trunk or remote-start functions work again.

We come to you, sync the new fob to your vehicle, and confirm every button works before we leave.

Dead battery or something more?

When a fob stops working, the cause is not always obvious. Often it is simply a dead coin-cell battery, which is a quick fix. Other times the fob has been dropped one too many times, the buttons have worn out, or it has lost its sync with the car. We check the simple things first, then replace or reprogram only what is needed so the fix matches the real problem.

When the remote will not lock the doors

A remote that lights up but will not lock or unlock the doors often needs to be re-synced to the vehicle, though sometimes the receiver or a worn button is at fault. We diagnose the remote and the car together, restore the lock, unlock, trunk, and any remote-start buttons, and test each one with you before we leave.

Heat, humidity, and push-to-start crossover

Coastal heat and humidity are tough on small electronics. A fob left on a hot dash can fade faster, and moisture can creep into a cracked case. If your vehicle starts with a button rather than a turned key, the work crosses over into our push-to-start service, and the actual syncing falls under key programming. Need the metal key cut as well as the remote handled? Our car key replacement service ties it together.
