A dead or missing key fob is rarely a convenient problem. In Inglewood it tends to show up at awkward moments: in a parking structure after an event, in a driveway in Morningside Park before a morning commute, or outside an apartment complex off Manchester Blvd with groceries in the trunk. Modern fobs are small computers, and replacing one involves more than cutting a piece of metal.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around coming to the customer. We are fully mobile and there is no storefront to visit. Our technician brings the equipment to your vehicle, whether you need a replacement for a lost fob, a spare before you lose the only one, or a new fob for a worn-out unit with cracked buttons or a failing battery contact.

We work with remote key fobs, flip keys with a remote built in, and smart or proximity keys used for push-button start. What is possible depends on your vehicle's make, model and year, and on whether any working key still exists. We will tell you plainly what your car needs before any work begins.

How it works in Inglewood

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model and year, how many working keys you still have, and where the car is parked. This helps us bring the right fob type and programming equipment.

  2. 2

    We come to your car

    Our technician drives to you in Inglewood, whether that is a driveway, an apartment lot or a street near the 405 or 105. Nothing needs to be towed or brought to a shop.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before making or programming a key, we ask for proof that you own the vehicle, such as registration and matching ID. This protects you and is a standard, responsible practice.

  4. 4

    Select and prepare the fob

    We match the correct fob or smart key to your vehicle, and cut an emergency or transponder blade when the key design includes one.

  5. 5

    Program and pair

    We pair the new fob to the vehicle's immobilizer and security system. Where appropriate we can also remove a lost fob from the car's memory so it no longer works.

  6. 6

    Test everything

    We test lock, unlock, trunk, panic and remote functions, and for smart keys the push-button start, before we finish. You leave with a working fob and a clear idea of how to avoid being stranded again.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since some brands need more involved programming than others
  • Fob type: a basic remote, a flip key with remote, or a smart proximity key
  • Whether you have a working key to copy from or all keys are lost
  • Whether an emergency blade or transponder key also needs to be cut
  • How many fobs you want, since a spare is often easier to add at the same visit
  • Time of day and your location, because we are available around the clock and travel to you

Key Fob Replacement across Inglewood

Inglewood drivers have fob needs shaped by how the city lives. In Morningside Park, Fairview Heights and North Inglewood, many cars sit on streets or in older driveways beside 1920s Spanish and Craftsman homes, and a fob that stops working there means a call for a technician who can come to the curb. In Arbor Village and the many apartment complexes along Manchester Blvd and Century Blvd, shared lots and carports make a spare fob a practical precaution.

Event traffic adds its own pattern. Crowds around SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park development, the Kia Forum, and the Intuit Dome mean cars parked far from home and fobs dropped, crushed or left behind. We can meet you where you are parked, though busy event roads like Prairie Ave, La Brea Ave and Century Blvd can be congested, so tell us your exact location when you call.

Whether you are in ZIP 90301 near Market Street's historic downtown, in 90302 or 90303, or in 90305 close to Crenshaw Blvd, our service covers all of Inglewood. We can also help commuters stranded near the I-405 and I-105 corridors. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Key Fob Replacement in Inglewood — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost every key to my car?
In many cases, yes. All-keys-lost situations take more work than copying an existing key, but a mobile technician can often create and program a new fob at your vehicle in Inglewood. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will tell you what is possible.
Do I need to tow my car to get a new fob?
No. We are fully mobile and bring programming equipment to your vehicle, so you do not need to tow it to a shop or dealership.
Will you ask for proof that I own the car?
Yes. We ask for registration and matching identification before making or programming a key. It is a routine security step that protects you and your vehicle.
Can a lost fob be disabled so no one else can use it?
On many vehicles, programming a new fob can erase previously registered ones from the car's memory, so the lost one stops working. Whether this is possible depends on the vehicle. Ask the technician when you call (323) 997-8867.
Is my fob dead, or does it just need a battery?
Weak range, intermittent response or a dashboard warning often point to a battery. If a new battery does not help, the fob may be damaged or have lost its pairing. We can help work out which it is.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Compatibility varies, and some online fobs are locked, used or the wrong frequency. It is best to describe the part when you call so we can advise before you spend more.
Do you offer help at night or after an event at SoFi Stadium or the Forum?
We are available 24/7. If you are stranded after an event, tell us exactly where your car is parked and we will come to you.
Is it worth making a spare fob before I lose mine?
Usually yes. Adding a spare when you still have a working key is generally simpler than an all-keys-lost job. To schedule a spare, call (323) 997-8867.
