Losing a key fob in Camarillo rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might slip out of a pocket at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, get left in a rental after a trip out of Camarillo Airport, or simply stop working one morning in a Mission Oaks driveway. A dealership visit usually means towing the car and waiting on their schedule. Our approach is different: we are fully mobile, so the work happens where your vehicle is parked.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on practical, honest automotive and residential lock work. Key fob replacement covers a wide range of situations: a basic remote with lock and unlock buttons, a flip key with a transponder chip, or a push-button-start proximity key that the car detects from your pocket. Each type is programmed differently, and the right approach depends on your make, model, and year.

This page explains how a fob replacement visit works, what affects the cost, and what Camarillo drivers should know before they call. We do not have a storefront, so everything starts with a phone call to (323) 997-8867, any hour of the day or night.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle

    When you call, we ask for the make, model, and year, and whether the car uses a push-button start or a traditional key slot. We also ask whether you still have any working key. That determines whether we are cloning an existing fob or programming a new one from scratch.

  2. 2

    We drive to your location

    We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so we meet you wherever the car is: a driveway in Spanish Hills, a parking space near the Ventura Freeway, a lot in one of the business parks, or a street in Old Town. Having the car with us matters because programming is done through the vehicle itself.

  3. 3

    Confirm ownership

    Before creating any new key, we ask for reasonable proof that the vehicle is yours, such as registration and identification. It is a standard safeguard that protects you as much as it protects anyone else.

  4. 4

    Source and prepare the fob

    We match the correct fob or smart key to your vehicle. Some need a mechanical key blade cut, and some need the transponder chip prepared before it can be recognized. We confirm frequency and compatibility so the fob is not just similar-looking but actually works.

  5. 5

    Program and test everything

    We pair the new fob with the car's computer, then test every function: lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, remote start if equipped, and starting the engine. If you have other working keys, we check that they still operate correctly.

  6. 6

    Hand over and advise

    You get the new fob and guidance on battery care, spare keys, and what to do if one goes missing. We often recommend a spare while we are there, since adding a key is simpler than starting over after the last one is lost.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year: some brands use simple remote fobs while others use encrypted smart keys with more involved programming.
  • Fob type: a basic remote, a flip key with a transponder, and a proximity smart key are different parts with different costs.
  • Whether you have a working key: copying from an existing key is generally simpler than programming when every key is lost.
  • Whether a mechanical key blade must be cut or an emergency key insert is needed in addition to the electronic fob.
  • How many fobs you want programmed, since adding a spare during the same visit is usually more efficient than a separate trip.
  • Time of day and location of the service call, given that we work around the clock and travel to you.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we bring the programming equipment to your car, so you avoid towing it to a dealer.
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, which matters when a lost fob leaves you stranded.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar directing the work rather than a rotating call center.
  • We test every function before leaving instead of just confirming the car starts.
  • We explain options plainly, including when a simple battery or shell replacement may fix a fob you assumed was dead.
  • Because we also handle residential and commercial locks, we can help with house, garage, and car keys in one relationship.

Key Fob Replacement across Camarillo

Camarillo is a car-centered city, with US-101 running along its length, SR-34 (Lewis Road) heading toward the farmland, and busy surface streets like Las Posas Road, Ventura Boulevard, Daily Drive, Carmen Drive, and Pleasant Valley Road. Between commuters, shoppers, and travelers, there is no shortage of situations where a fob gets lost or fails. We serve ZIP codes including 93010, 93012, and 93011, and we reach drivers across town.

In residential areas like Mission Oaks and the tract-home streets of the city core, fob problems often show up in the driveway: a worn-out remote, a cracked case, or a second fob that was never made. In Spanish Hills and Camarillo Heights, where driveways can be steep and homes set back, having a technician come to the vehicle saves a lot of hassle. Leisure Village residents, many of whom keep one older car for local errands, can also have fobs replaced or a spare added without arranging a ride to a dealership.

Shoppers and employees around the Camarillo Premium Outlets sometimes discover a lost fob only after a long day, and visitors flying through Camarillo Airport or touring the Commemorative Air Force Museum may be far from their usual dealer. Old Town Camarillo, with its historic district and the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House nearby, also draws weekend visitors who may end up stuck. In every case we come to you, and the number to call is (323) 997-8867.

Key Fob Replacement in Camarillo — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
In many cases yes. Programming a new fob when no working key remains is more involved than copying one, but it is often possible on site. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I need to tow my car to a dealer in Camarillo?
Usually not. We are fully mobile and program fobs at your vehicle, whether it is in a driveway, a parking lot, or on the street. Some unusual models may have limitations, and we will tell you up front.
Do you work at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are 24/7, so you can call (323) 997-8867 any time, including holidays, if you are locked out or stranded without a working fob.
Can you replace a push-button start smart key?
Yes, we program many proximity and smart keys. Compatibility depends on make, model, and year, so we ask for those details when you call before promising anything.
My fob stopped working. Does it need replacing?
Not always. A weak battery, a worn case, or a lost pairing can cause the same symptoms. We can check the fob and tell you honestly whether a simpler fix will do.
What proof of ownership do I need?
We typically ask for your identification and vehicle registration or similar documentation. This is a standard safeguard before we make any new key for a vehicle.
Is it worth getting a spare fob made at the same time?
Often yes. Adding a spare while we are already there is generally easier than starting over after your only fob is lost. Ask when you call (323) 997-8867.
How is the price determined?
It depends on your vehicle, the type of fob, whether you have a working key, and how many fobs you want. We do not quote without knowing those details, and we explain the factors before work begins.
