Why Marin chooses us

Three reasons people never call anyone else.

15min

Real arrival windows.

California-licensed locksmith, fully insured, every tech background-checked and badge-identified. We hand you the credentials before we touch a lock.

$29

Upfront, not surprise.

Your $29 base fee covers dispatch and the service call. You see the full price in writing before we start. No "actually that'll be $400."

Remote & smart key programming

Key fob programming, at your car, for most makes.

A dead, lost or unresponsive key fob can leave a perfectly good car undriveable — especially on push-to-start vehicles where the fob is the only way to wake the immobilizer. Dealers will sell you a fob and charge a second time to program it, often only after the car is brought in.

Marin Locksmith carries OEM and quality aftermarket remotes and smart keys and programs them to your vehicle on-site. Whether you need an extra remote, a full replacement for a lost fob, or a fob that's stopped talking to the car, we handle the supply and the programming in one mobile visit.

When fob programming is needed

  • Lost or stolen remote / smart key
  • Fob stopped unlocking or starting the car
  • You want a spare remote programmed
  • Buttons cracked or the case fell apart
  • Used-car purchase came with only one fob
  • Battery replaced but the fob still won't sync

What it costs in Marin

Remote and smart-key programming typically runs $90–$300 depending on the make and whether you need the fob supplied. Simple remote re-syncs are at the low end; proximity push-to-start smart keys on European and luxury models are higher. The $29 base fee covers the trip and we confirm the full price up front. License #LCO8487.

How fob programming works

  1. Identify the right fobWe confirm your year, make and model so the tech arrives with a matching OEM or quality aftermarket remote or smart key.
  2. Supply or use your fobWe can program a fob you already bought, or supply a new one on the spot — your choice.
  3. Program to the immobilizerUsing factory-level programmers we register the fob to your car so the remote functions and (on push-to-start cars) the engine recognizes it.
  4. Test every functionLock, unlock, trunk, panic and ignition are all tested before we leave, and old lost fobs can be erased from memory.

Makes we program fobs for

We service Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Tesla, Lexus, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, GMC, Mazda, Acura, Infiniti, Volvo and most other makes and models — foreign and domestic.

"Showed up in 12 min at 1am."

Locked my keys in the car at a gas station at 1am. Called. They said 15 minutes, arrived in 12. Fair price and super professional. No upsell, no surprise charges.

"Saved me $300 vs the dealer."

Lost the only key to my Tacoma. Toyota wanted $450 plus a tow. Marin Locksmith cut and programmed a new transponder in my driveway in 25 minutes for $150. The bridge logo on the van made me trust them instantly — very local-feeling.

"Smart lock install with no upselling."

Moved into a new house and wanted the deadbolts replaced plus a smart lock on the front door. They quoted on the phone, the price didn't change, and they were done in under an hour. Cleanup was perfect.

"Office rekey in one trip."

Fired an employee on a Friday. Called Marin Locksmith. They had every cylinder rekeyed by Saturday morning so we could open Monday with new keys. Saved us a full week of stress.

"Re-keyed to office doors same day."

Had to re-key six office doors because I lost the master. Everything was finished and tested in two hours. Honest, professional, fair price. Will call them again.

"Trapped in the car at midnight in Mill Valley."

Rented a car at SFO and somehow locked the keys inside near the Mill Valley exit. Tech was there in 18 minutes, no damage, no drama. Just polite and fast.

Common questions

About key fob programming in Marin.

Can you program a fob I bought online?
Often yes — if it's the correct part for your vehicle. Aftermarket fobs vary in quality, so tell us where you got it; if it won't program reliably we'll tell you up front and can supply one that will.
Do you do push-to-start smart keys?
Yes, for most makes. Proximity smart keys are our everyday work; we'll confirm we carry the right one for your model before rolling out.
My fob just needs a battery, right?
Sometimes that's all it is and we'll say so. But if a battery swap doesn't bring it back, the fob may need re-syncing or replacing — which we can do on the same visit.
Can you erase a lost fob?
Yes. When we program a replacement we can delete the lost remote from the car's memory so it can't be used to unlock or start your vehicle.
How long does it take?
Most remote and smart-key jobs are finished in 20–45 minutes on-site, depending on the vehicle's programming sequence.
Will the new fob have a working blade key too?
Most smart keys include an emergency blade; we cut it to your car so it works in the door lock as a backup.
Do you come to me?
Yes — fully mobile across Marin County. We program the fob right at your car, wherever it is.
