Lost your car key fob or need a spare programmed in Bakersfield? The Locksmith Company 24/7 programs key fobs for most car and truck brands on-site — faster and typically far cheaper than a dealership. Call (661) 364-7641.
Modern vehicles use electronic key fobs that must be programmed to communicate with your specific car before they will work. If you have lost your fob, need a spare, or your fob has stopped working — we come directly to your location in Bakersfield and program a replacement on-site. No towing required.
Dealerships in Bakersfield typically charge $200 to $400 or more for key fob programming — and you usually need to tow your vehicle to them. We come to you, charge $100 additional on top of the $90 service call, and complete the programming right in your driveway, parking lot, or roadside location. That is a significant saving in both time and money.
Key fob programming is available for cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans only. We do not offer key fob or transponder programming for motorcycles.
