Losing a key fob or watching one stop working is a particularly frustrating problem in Sun Valley. People here commute along I-5 and CA-170, run work trucks and vans out of yards on San Fernando Road, and park at all hours near the Hollywood Burbank Airport. When the fob dies, the car is often stranded in a lot, a driveway, or a work site where a tow is the last thing you want to pay for.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront, so there is nothing to drive to: we come to your vehicle, whether that is a driveway in Stonehurst, a gravel yard off San Fernando Road, or a parking spot along Glenoaks Boulevard. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen just about every kind of remote, flip key, and push-button start system.

A key fob replacement is more than cutting metal. Modern fobs contain a transponder chip, a remote transmitter, and in many cars a proximity system that must be paired with the vehicle's computer. We replace and program standard remote fobs and smart keys, and we can help when you have lost every key you own. Because we work around the clock, a dead fob at midnight does not have to wait until morning.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, and whether you still have any working key. We will explain what kind of fob your car uses and what the job will involve. Have your registration or proof of ownership ready.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Because we are mobile only, a technician drives to wherever the car is: a Stonehurst street, a warehouse lot, or a roadside off Sunland Boulevard. You do not need to tow it anywhere or visit a shop.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before making or programming any key, we confirm you are the legitimate owner or authorized user. This protects you and is standard practice for responsible automotive locksmiths.

  4. 4

    Cut the key blade if needed

    Many fobs include an emergency key blade or a flip key. If yours does, we cut it on site to match the lock. Smart keys with no blade skip this step and move straight to pairing.

  5. 5

    Program the fob to the vehicle

    We pair the new fob or proximity key with the car's immobilizer and remote system using professional programming equipment. If a lost key is a concern, we can also remove old keys from the vehicle's memory where the system allows it.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we leave

    We check locking, unlocking, trunk or hatch release, panic button, and engine start, so you know every function works before we finish.

What affects the price

  • Make, model, and year of the vehicle, since some brands use far more complex fobs and security systems than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote, a flip key with blade, or a push-button smart proximity key
  • Whether you have a working key to copy from or have lost every key (an all-keys-lost situation takes more work)
  • Whether the fob is an original-equipment part or a quality aftermarket replacement, where both are available
  • Time of day and location, since we are available 24/7 and travel to you
  • Number of fobs needed, such as a spare or a full set for a fleet

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: no storefront, no tow, and the work happens at your vehicle
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar personally leading the technical work
  • Available 24/7, which matters for people working overnight shifts or early industrial hours
  • Experience with both individual drivers and fleet or work vehicles, common around the San Fernando Road corridor
  • We confirm ownership first and test every function before leaving
  • Honest guidance: we tell you what your fob needs and do not push unnecessary work

Key Fob Replacement across Sun Valley

Sun Valley sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and its character shows in how people use their vehicles. Along San Fernando Road and the industrial corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, warehouses, recycling yards, and auto-dismantlers keep trucks, vans, and service vehicles moving all day. A lost or damaged fob on a work vehicle can stall a crew, so we come to the yard or lot rather than asking you to bring the vehicle in.

Residents in historic Stonehurst, with its 1920s stone and clinker-brick houses, often park on narrow streets or in older driveways, and the rest of Sun Valley's modest postwar neighborhoods are similar. Whether you live near the Stonehurst Recreation Center or up toward La Tuna Canyon, we can reach you for fob replacement. We regularly serve addresses in ZIP code 91352, and the main routes we use include Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, I-5, and CA-170.

If you are stuck near a landmark like the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks, the Pink Motel, or Cadillac Jack's Cafe on San Fernando Road, just give us the cross street. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and we will plan the visit with you.

Key Fob Replacement in Sun Valley — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I have lost all my keys in Sun Valley?
In many cases yes. An all-keys-lost situation takes more work than copying an existing key, but we can generally program a new fob on site. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will explain what is involved.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle anywhere in Sun Valley, from a Stonehurst driveway to a lot off San Fernando Road.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. If your fob fails late at night or early in the morning, call (323) 997-8867.
Can you program a smart or push-button start key?
Yes. We replace and program proximity smart keys as well as standard remotes and flip keys. Compatibility depends on your vehicle, so tell us the make, model, and year when you call.
What do I need to show to prove I own the vehicle?
We will ask for proof of ownership or authorization, typically a registration or title along with your identification. This protects you from unauthorized key duplication.
How is the price of a replacement fob determined?
It depends on the vehicle, the type of fob, whether you have a working key, whether the part is original or aftermarket, and the time and location. We explain the factors when you call rather than guessing blindly.
Can you make extra fobs for my business vehicles?
Yes. If you run vans or trucks from a yard or warehouse in the Sun Valley industrial area, we can program spare or additional fobs for your vehicles. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the vehicles you have.
Should I get a spare fob before I lose the only one?
It is usually easier and simpler to make a spare while you still have a working key. Losing every key typically means more work, so a spare is a sensible precaution.
