A key fob that stops working, goes missing, or gets cracked open in a parking lot rarely picks a convenient moment. In Pico Rivera, where so many people commute on the I-5 and I-605 or run errands along Whittier Blvd, Washington Blvd and Rosemead Blvd, a car that will not unlock or start can derail the whole day. Crenshaw Lock Company replaces and programs remote key fobs and smart or proximity keys, and we do it at your vehicle rather than asking you to tow it anywhere.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has watched vehicle keys go from simple metal blanks to encrypted transponders and push-button smart keys. That history matters because fob work is not one-size-fits-all. Some vehicles accept a new fob that is programmed on site. Others need the key cut, the transponder paired, and the remote functions added as separate steps. We will tell you plainly which situation you are in once we know the year, make and model.

We are a mobile-only business. There is no storefront to drive to, which is a real advantage if your only key is the one you just lost. Whether you are parked at home in a quiet tract neighborhood, at work, or in the lot at Pico Rivera Towne Center, we bring the equipment to you and work from there.

How it works in Pico Rivera

  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask for the year, make, and model, what kind of key you have now (flip key, push-to-start fob, or basic remote), and whether you still have any working key. This helps us understand what the job involves before we head out.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Our technicians are fully mobile and available around the clock. We meet you at your home, workplace, or wherever the vehicle is parked in Pico Rivera, with the tools needed for the job.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before creating a new key for any vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that you own it, such as ID and registration or title. This protects you and keeps keys from landing in the wrong hands.

  4. 4

    Cut and prepare the key or fob

    If your vehicle uses a mechanical blade, we cut it to match. For transponder and smart keys, we prepare the new fob so it can be paired with your vehicle's immobilizer system.

  5. 5

    Program and pair

    We program the new fob to the vehicle so it starts the engine and, where the system supports it, operates the locks, trunk, and other remote functions. Any old or lost fob can often be removed from the vehicle's memory.

  6. 6

    Test everything with you

    We test every button, the door locks, and the ignition or push-start before we finish, so you know it all works before we leave.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle year, make, and model, since some systems are far more involved to program than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote, a flip key with a transponder, or a push-to-start smart key
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the programming approach
  • Whether the new fob is an original-equipment part or a quality aftermarket alternative
  • Whether the key blade also needs to be cut or the vehicle has a separate ignition or door lock to address
  • Time of day and location of the service call, given that we work 24/7

Why Pico Rivera chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your vehicle, so you never have to tow a car just to get a key made
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work
  • Open 24/7, so a lost fob at night or on a weekend can still be handled
  • We explain what your specific vehicle needs and what drives the cost before work begins
  • We test every function before leaving, not just whether the car starts
  • Residential, commercial, and automotive experience under one roof, so we can also help if a house or storefront lock is part of the same problem

Key Fob Replacement across Pico Rivera

Pico Rivera was formed in 1958 by joining the Pico and Rivera districts, and today it is a largely suburban city where driveways and street parking are part of daily life. Many residents in Pico, Rivera, and North Pico Rivera park right in front of their 1950s stucco tract homes, which makes at-home fob programming simple: we set up next to your car and handle it without you going anywhere. If your fob was lost and your spare is sitting inside the house, we can work with that situation too.

We serve all of Pico Rivera, including ZIP codes 90660, 90661, and 90662. People often call us from busy spots like Pico Rivera Towne Center, the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, or near Smith Park and Streamland Park after a weekend game or family outing, when a fob falls out of a pocket or stops responding. We also hear from people who live or work near the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area and need help without a long wait for a dealership appointment.

If you commute along the I-5 or I-605, or you run a business on Whittier, Washington, or Rosemead Blvd and need a fob for a work vehicle, we can meet you at your shop or job site. Because we are mobile only, there is no storefront to visit; we come to you across Pico Rivera at any hour.

Key Fob Replacement in Pico Rivera — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. Losing every key makes the job more involved because there is no working key to copy, but it can often be handled 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 you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your car in Pico Rivera, whether it is in your driveway, at work, or in a parking lot. There is no storefront to visit.
Do you work on push-to-start smart keys?
We replace and program smart and proximity keys as well as standard remotes and flip keys. Compatibility depends on the vehicle, so please give us the year, make, and model when you call (323) 997-8867.
Can you help at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, so a lost or failed fob does not have to wait until the dealership opens.
What do I need to show to prove I own the vehicle?
We ask for reasonable proof of ownership, typically a photo ID along with registration or title. This protects you and is a standard part of making a new vehicle key.
Will the old lost fob still work after you program a new one?
On many vehicles, the lost fob can be erased from the car's memory during programming so it no longer starts the vehicle. This depends on the system, and we can tell you what applies to yours.
How is the price determined?
Cost depends mainly on your vehicle and key type, whether you have a working key, the kind of replacement fob used, and the time and place of the call. We explain these factors up front. You can reach us at (323) 997-8867 to talk through your situation.
Is it only the battery, or do I need a new fob?
Sometimes a weak fob just needs a fresh battery. If you notice reduced range or intermittent response, try that first. If the fob is cracked, water-damaged, or still unresponsive, we can look at replacement and programming.
