Losing a key fob is a stressful moment, and the dealership is rarely the easy answer. Many dealers want the car towed in, and you may wait days for a part. Our approach is different: we are fully mobile, so the work happens wherever your vehicle is parked, whether in your driveway off Baldwin Avenue or in a lot near Temple City Park.

We replace and program remote key fobs, flip-key remotes, and smart or proximity keys for a wide range of makes. If you still have a working key, we can often add a spare so you are never stranded again. If you have lost every key, that is usually still solvable on site, though the process depends on the vehicle's security system.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987 under owner and lead technician David Shar. That long history means we have seen how fob systems have changed, from simple button remotes to push-button start keys that talk to the car's computer. We explain what your car needs, what the options are, and what affects the cost before we start.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the make, model, and year, whether you have any working key, and where the car is parked. This lets us understand what type of fob or smart key your vehicle uses and what the job involves.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, there is no shop to tow your car to. We meet you at your home, workplace, or wherever the vehicle is sitting, whether that is a residential street in Mission View Acres or a parking spot along Las Tunas Drive.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, typically a registration and photo ID. This protects you and is a standard, responsible part of automotive key work.

  4. 4

    Identify and prepare the correct fob

    We confirm the correct frequency, chip type, and key blade, if one applies, for your vehicle. If your system uses a transponder or a push-button start smart key, we prepare the new unit so it will be accepted by the car.

  5. 5

    Program and test everything

    We program the new fob to your vehicle and test each function: lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, and starting the car. If you have older fobs that still work, we check they still operate after programming.

  6. 6

    Spare keys and guidance

    We talk through whether a spare makes sense and how to care for the fob, including battery replacement. A spare made now is usually far simpler than starting from nothing after the next loss.

Key Fob Replacement across Temple City

Temple City is a quiet, residential valley-floor community, and most of our fob calls here start in a driveway or on a street lined with 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. Whether you are in Mission View Acres, near the Camellia area, or just off Rosemead Blvd (SR-19), we can come to the car and handle the replacement on the spot. Many households here have multiple drivers, so a spare fob is often a practical addition.

Downtown Las Tunas Drive adds a different kind of call. Shop owners, restaurant staff, and shoppers park along the corridor, and a dead or misplaced fob in the middle of a workday is a real disruption. We can meet you in the Las Tunas business district rather than asking you to leave your car. The same goes for visitors during the annual Camellia Festival, when parking near Temple City Park and Live Oak Park fills up and a stranded car is the last thing you need.

We serve all of Temple City, including ZIP code 91780, and the main routes of Las Tunas Dr, Baldwin Ave, Lower Azusa Rd, and Temple City Blvd. With newer townhomes and small apartment buildings going up, we also hear from residents and property managers who need extra or replacement fobs for tenant vehicles. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the car is.

Key Fob Replacement in Temple City — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. It depends on the vehicle's security system, but we often can create and program a new fob on site. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I need to tow my car to a dealership in Temple City?
Usually not. We are fully mobile and come to your car, whether it is parked at home, at work, or along Las Tunas Drive.
Do you offer key fob service at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
What is the difference between a remote fob and a smart key?
A remote fob has buttons for locking and unlocking and often a physical key blade. A smart or proximity key lets you unlock and start the car without taking it out of your pocket. Smart keys involve more complex programming.
How much does key fob replacement cost?
The cost depends on the vehicle, the type of fob, whether you have a working key, whether a blade must be cut, and how many fobs you need. Call us and we will explain the factors for your car.
Will I need to prove the car is mine?
Yes. We ask for registration and photo ID before programming a key. It is a standard safeguard that protects you.
Can you add a spare fob while you are there?
Yes. If you have a working key, adding a spare is usually simpler than replacing after losing every key. We can program an extra fob during the same visit.
My fob stopped working. Does it need replacing?
Not always. A weak battery is a common cause. If a new battery does not help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement. We can diagnose it at your vehicle, and you can reach us at (323) 997-8867.
