Losing a key fob is a different kind of problem than losing a plain metal key. The little remote in your pocket holds a transponder chip, a radio transmitter, and often a hidden emergency blade, and your car will not start or unlock until each piece is matched to the vehicle's computer. If you have just discovered that your fob is gone, cracked, or no longer responding, you are probably standing in a parking lot or driveway wondering how you are going to get anywhere.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no tow to a dealership required. We bring the equipment to wherever the car is parked in Canoga Park, whether that is a driveway in a 1950s tract neighborhood, a carport behind a dingbat apartment off Sherman Way, or a parking space near Westfield Topanga. We are available around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays.

This page explains how replacement works, what shapes the cost, and what to expect from us. We do not quote prices before we know your vehicle, because the honest answer depends on the make, model, year and key type. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will walk you through your options in plain language.

How it works in Canoga Park

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Tell us the make, model and year of the vehicle, whether you still have any working key, and where the car is parked. Knowing if it is a push-button start, a flip key, or a basic remote with a separate blade helps us bring the right hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Because we are fully mobile, we drive to you in Canoga Park, whether you are at home, at work along Vanowen or Roscoe, or stuck in a lot after an evening out. We do not make timing promises over the phone that we cannot keep, but we will keep you updated and we answer day and night.

  3. 3

    We verify ownership

    Before creating a new key for any vehicle, we ask for proof that the car is yours, typically a photo ID matched to the registration or title. This protects you and every other driver, and it is a standard part of responsible automotive locksmith work.

  4. 4

    We cut and prepare the new fob

    If the fob includes an emergency blade or a transponder-style key, we cut it to your vehicle's code. We select a fob compatible with your car's frequency and chip type, then prepare it for programming.

  5. 5

    We program it to the vehicle

    Using diagnostic programming equipment, we pair the new fob with your car's immobilizer and remote systems. Where the vehicle allows, we can also remove a lost fob from memory so a missing one can no longer start the car.

  6. 6

    We test everything before we leave

    We check lock, unlock, trunk, panic and push-button start functions, and confirm the emergency blade turns the door. If you want a spare programmed while we are there, this is the easiest time to do it.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since some manufacturers use far more complex security systems than others.
  • Type of key: a basic remote, a flip key, a transponder key with a separate remote, or a proximity smart key each involve different hardware.
  • Whether you have any working key left; adding a copy is often simpler than creating a first key when every key is lost.
  • Whether the old fob needs to be erased from the vehicle's memory for security reasons.
  • How many fobs you want programmed during the same visit, including a spare.
  • Time of day and location, since we are available 24/7 and travel to you; after-hours calls can involve different scheduling considerations.

Why Canoga Park chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your car in Canoga Park instead of asking you to arrange a tow.
  • In business since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar.
  • Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which matters when a fob fails late at night.
  • We explain the options and factors up front rather than pushing a single solution.
  • We handle the locks around your home and business too, so one call can cover the car, the apartment deadbolt, and the shop door.
  • We verify ownership before making keys, which protects you from misuse of your vehicle.

Key Fob Replacement across Canoga Park

Canoga Park has one of the older histories in the far west San Fernando Valley, with the original Owensmouth townsite dating to 1912. That mix of eras shows in how people park and live here. Along the Sherman Way commercial corridor and the historic downtown district near the Madrid Theatre, cars are often parked on the street or in small strip-retail lots. Around the Owensmouth bungalows and the 1950s and 60s tract homes and dingbat apartments, many residents rely on carports and curbside parking, where a fob is easily dropped or left behind.

We regularly serve drivers across ZIP codes 91303, 91304, 91305 and 91309, from the streets near Canoga Park High School and Lanark Park to the Gault Street and Topanga area near Warner Center. If your fob dies while you are shopping at Westfield Topanga, at a stop along Topanga Canyon Blvd, or after a commute on the Ventura Freeway, we can meet you where the car is.

Many of our local customers also have lock needs beyond the car: a worn deadbolt in an older rental, a storefront on Sherman Way that needs rekeying, or a vintage mortise lock on a 1920s bungalow. Since we are the same mobile team for all of it, we are glad to take care of those during the same relationship. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.

Key Fob Replacement in Canoga Park — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all of my keys in Canoga Park?
Yes. We can usually create a new key and program it on site, even when no working key remains. We will need proof of ownership. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year.
Do I have to go to the dealership?
Often not. Our mobile service programs many fobs and smart keys at your vehicle. Some specific models may have restrictions, and we will tell you honestly after we hear your vehicle details.
What do you need from me to make a new fob?
We need to confirm you own the vehicle, usually with a photo ID and registration or title, plus the vehicle's make, model and year. The VIN is helpful as well.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
In many cases yes, but compatibility varies. Mismatched frequencies or chip types will not program. It is best to call (323) 997-8867 before buying so we can check.
Will the old lost fob still work after replacement?
Where the vehicle allows, we can erase the lost fob from the car's memory so it will no longer start or unlock it. This is a good idea if the fob may have been stolen.
Do you offer key fob replacement at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including holidays, and fully mobile, so we come to you anywhere in Canoga Park.
Can you fix a fob that just stopped working?
Sometimes the issue is only a dead battery or worn buttons, which may not need a full replacement. We can diagnose it and tell you whether repair, reprogramming, or replacement makes sense.
How much does a key fob replacement cost?
It depends on the vehicle, key type, how many fobs you need, and whether any working key remains. We will explain the factors and give you clear information when you call (323) 997-8867.
