Car Key Programming in Los Angeles
Transponder keys, smart fobs & proximity keys • programmed on-site since 1924
Car Key Programming for All Makes & Models
Modern car keys aren't just cut metal anymore. Transponder chips, rolling-code smart fobs, and proximity (push-to-start) systems pair the key to your vehicle's onboard computer, and programming them correctly takes the right diagnostic equipment and the experience to use it. At Abe's Lock & Key we program keys for domestic, Japanese, and Korean vehicles right where your car is parked, often for far less than the dealership and without the tow.
Whether you've lost your only key, need a spare fob, or want a worn key replaced before it fails, we cut and program keys for American, Japanese, and Korean makes throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. Lost every key? In most cases we can still generate a new one and program it to your car from scratch. (Please note: we do not currently service European makes.)
