A key fob that stops working rarely does it at a convenient time. In Fillmore, it might happen in the lot behind a Central Avenue shop, at a trailhead off SR-23, or in a driveway in Cordova Park after a long commute down SR-126. Whatever the situation, the car is stuck where it is, and the last thing you want is a tow to a dealership that may be a long drive away.

Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith. We have no storefront for you to visit; we bring the tools to you. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on showing up prepared and explaining the work plainly. For fobs, that means replacing and programming remote key fobs and smart or proximity keys right at your vehicle.

This page explains how fob replacement works, what affects the cost, and what to expect if you are in Fillmore. Because we are not quoting numbers here, we describe the factors honestly. When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask a few questions about your vehicle and give you a clear picture before any work begins.

How it works in Fillmore

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone us at (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, whether you have any working key left, and where the car is. Knowing whether it is a basic remote, a flip key, or a push-button-start smart key helps us bring the right equipment.

  2. 2

    We travel to your vehicle

    We are fully mobile, so we come to you in Fillmore, whether that is a driveway in North Fillmore, a lot near the railroad depot, or a rural property out toward Bardsdale. We do not give arrival-time promises over the phone, but we are available around the clock.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before creating a new key for a vehicle, we confirm that you are the owner or authorized user. Expect to show identification and registration or similar proof. It protects you, and it keeps your car from being a target for someone else.

  4. 4

    Cut, source, or prepare the fob

    Depending on the vehicle, we match a compatible fob and, if there is an emergency blade or flip key, cut it to your car's code. If the old fob is simply worn, we can sometimes address the shell or battery rather than replacing the whole unit.

  5. 5

    Program to the vehicle

    We pair the new fob to your car's immobilizer and remote systems using diagnostic equipment. If you have a lost-all-keys situation, we can program the new fob without needing an existing working one on many models.

  6. 6

    Test every function

    We check lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, remote start where equipped, and engine start before we leave. You should have a fully working fob in your hand, and we will tell you if any old fob should be removed from the car's memory.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use more complex security systems than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote, flip key, or push-button smart or proximity key
  • Whether you still have a working key to copy or all keys are lost
  • Whether the emergency blade needs to be cut or the fob only needs programming
  • Whether the fob hardware itself is needed or an existing unit just needs a new battery or shell
  • Time of day and the location of the vehicle relative to our dispatch, since we travel to you

Why Fillmore chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so your car does not need to be towed to a shop or dealership
  • Open 24/7, which matters when a dead fob strands you late at night on SR-126 or SR-23
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician
  • Clear explanation of what is wrong with the fob, and whether a repair, battery, or full replacement makes sense
  • We confirm ownership before programming, which protects you and your vehicle
  • Testing of every fob function on site before we consider the job finished

Key Fob Replacement across Fillmore

Fillmore is a small citrus and railroad town in the Santa Clara River valley, and getting around it means SR-126 (Ventura St), SR-23 (Grimes Canyon Rd), Central Avenue, A St, and Mountain View St. Many residents commute out of town, and visitors come in for the Fillmore & Western Railway and the historic downtown. That mix means fob trouble can show up almost anywhere: a parking space on Central Avenue, a driveway in Cordova Park, or the shoulder near the Fillmore Fish Hatchery.

We serve all of Fillmore, including ZIP codes 93015 and 93016. In Downtown Fillmore and North Fillmore, we often find cars parked on the street or behind older buildings, where a dead fob leaves little room to wait around. In Bardsdale, across the Santa Clara River, properties are more rural and spread out, with work trucks and farm vehicles that sometimes use older key systems alongside newer cars with smart keys. Because we come to you, the distance does not change the basic approach.

Fillmore was partly rebuilt after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and its housing now ranges from vintage Craftsman bungalows to newer rebuilt homes. If a lost fob has you worried about your house keys too, ask us while we are there. Our work covers cars first, but as a full locksmith we can talk through other security needs. Remember we are mobile only: call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to wherever you are in town.

Key Fob Replacement in Fillmore — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost every key to my car?
In many cases, yes. We can often create and program a new fob without a working original, depending on the vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will tell you what is possible.
Do I have to tow my car out of Fillmore to get a new fob?
No. We are fully mobile and bring the equipment to your vehicle, so there is generally no need to tow it to a dealership or shop.
Do you really work at night and on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7. If your fob fails late in the evening or on a Sunday, call (323) 997-8867 and we will get you on the schedule.
Is my fob dead, or does it just need a battery?
A weak battery is a common culprit, especially if range has shrunk or the fob works intermittently. We can check this on site and tell you whether a battery or shell will do, or whether the unit needs replacing.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Compatibility depends on the vehicle and the fob itself, and some aftermarket units cannot be programmed reliably. Call us before you buy so we can tell you what works with your car.
What proof of ownership will I need?
Expect to show identification and some proof the vehicle is yours, such as registration or title. We require this before creating a new key.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the vehicle, key type, whether you have an existing key, and whether the fob and blade need to be sourced and cut. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will walk through the factors for your car.
Do you serve Bardsdale and the rural parts of Fillmore?
Yes. We serve Fillmore broadly, including Bardsdale, North Fillmore, Cordova Park, and Downtown, covering ZIP codes 93015 and 93016.
