City of Industry is a working city. Its streets are lined with distribution centers, cold-storage buildings, import/export operations and light manufacturing, and very few people actually live here. That means the vehicles that need transponder keys are often not family sedans in a driveway. They are service vans, box trucks, pickups and company cars that move goods and people all day. When a chip key is lost, broken or never had a spare, a business can lose a driver for the day.

A transponder key carries a small chip that talks to your vehicle's immobilizer. If the chip's code is not recognized, the engine may crank but will not run, or it will not crank at all. A key that looks identical and is cut perfectly can still fail to start the car if the chip has not been programmed. Programming is the step that pairs the key to the vehicle, and it is the part most people cannot do themselves once all keys are lost.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead tech David Shar. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no tow to arrange. We come to the vehicle wherever it is parked, whether that is a dock lot off Valley Blvd, a yard near Grand Crossing, or a roadside shoulder near the SR-60.

How it works in City of Industry

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the year, make and model, whether you have a working key, and exactly where the vehicle is parked. Whether it is a single spare or an all-keys-lost situation changes the approach, so that detail helps us prepare.

  2. 2

    We come to the vehicle

    Because we are fully mobile, the work happens where the vehicle sits. That might be a loading-yard lane, an employee lot behind a warehouse, or a curb on Azusa Ave. You do not need to tow it anywhere.

  3. 3

    We confirm ownership and identify the system

    Before making or programming a key, we ask for proof that you are entitled to the vehicle, such as registration and ID. For company vehicles, that may mean someone authorized by the business. We then identify the immobilizer type and the correct key blank and chip.

  4. 4

    We cut and prepare the key

    If you need a new blank, we cut it to match the vehicle's locks. Where the situation allows, we work from the vehicle's lock or its key code so the key operates the door and ignition as it should.

  5. 5

    We program the chip to the immobilizer

    Using professional programming equipment, we pair the new transponder to the vehicle's computer. Depending on the vehicle, this may also involve adding or erasing keys so that a lost key can be removed from the system.

  6. 6

    We test everything before we leave

    We test door operation, ignition turning and engine start with each key. For fleet customers, we can talk through adding spares so the next lost key does not stop a vehicle.

What affects the price

  • Make, model and year of the vehicle, since some immobilizer systems are far more involved to program than others
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the amount of work required
  • The type of key: basic chip key, flip key, or a key with built-in remote functions
  • How many keys you need programmed in one visit, which is useful for fleets
  • Whether the key blank must be cut as well as programmed
  • Time of day and the vehicle's location, since we serve around the clock across a wide service area

Why City of Industry chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so the work happens at your vehicle rather than at a shop
  • Available 24/7, which suits night-shift and early-morning operations common in industrial areas
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar as lead tech
  • Comfortable with commercial and fleet needs, including multiple vehicles and spare keys
  • We verify ownership before programming, which protects you and your vehicle
  • Straightforward quotes based on the vehicle and the job, explained before work begins

Transponder Key Programming across City of Industry

City of Industry has an unusual profile for a city this size. It has only a few hundred residents but a huge daytime workforce, and the vehicles tied to that workforce are everywhere: along Valley Blvd, around the rail yards, and in the lots of warehouses and distribution centers. The Bassett-adjacent industrial district and the Grand Crossing area see constant truck and van traffic, and a failed key in those places can hold up deliveries or a shift change.

We work throughout the city's ZIP codes, including 91744, 91745, 91746 and 91789, as well as 91714, 91715, 91716 and 91748. Many of these are business-oriented addresses, so we are used to directions like a gate code, a dock number or a back-lot entrance. Whether the vehicle is parked at a flex office unit, a cold-storage facility, or near the Industry Hills area close to Pacific Palms Resort and Industry Hills Golf Club, we come to you.

Drivers also reach us from the SR-60 and I-605 corridors when a key stops working far from home. If you are stuck on a surface street such as Azusa Ave, give us the cross street and any landmark. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there.

Transponder Key Programming in City of Industry — FAQs

Can you program a transponder key at my warehouse or yard in City of Industry?
Yes. We are fully mobile and come to the vehicle, including loading yards, employee lots and fleet parking areas. Call (323) 997-8867 with the vehicle details and location.
What if I lost all my keys?
All-keys-lost situations can still be handled on site. We verify ownership, cut a new key and program it to the immobilizer. Tell us the year, make and model when you call (323) 997-8867.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. That matters in an industrial city where shifts run overnight and early mornings.
Can you program several keys for a company fleet?
Yes. We can program multiple keys across vehicles and help you think through spare keys so one lost key does not sideline a van or truck. Call us to discuss your fleet.
Will I need to prove the vehicle is mine?
Yes. We ask for ID and proof of ownership or authorization, such as registration. For business vehicles, an authorized representative can provide this.
Does a transponder key cost more than a regular key?
Generally yes, because it involves a chip and programming. The final price depends on the vehicle, key type, number of keys and whether all keys are lost. We explain it before starting.
Can a lost key be removed from the vehicle's system?
On many vehicles, yes. When we program new keys, we can often erase old ones so a lost key will no longer start the vehicle. It depends on the make and model.
Do I need to tow the vehicle to you?
No. We have no storefront. We come to wherever the vehicle is parked in City of Industry. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
