About This Service
Lost or broken key fob? We program replacement fobs and remotes for most vehicles - domestic and import - at a fraction of the dealership price.
What to Expect From an Automotive Visit
We identify the key type, immobilizer, and programming path at the vehicle before cutting anything. Then we cut or program on site, confirm the car starts, and make sure the remote functions respond normally.
Lost keys, a broken fob, a spare that stopped working, or an ignition that will not turn are the usual triggers. Most of those situations are faster and cheaper to solve on-site than by towing the vehicle.
We verify the engine starts, the locks cycle, and the fob buttons or transponder functions work correctly. If the car needs an extra programming pass, we do it before wrapping up.

Key Fob & Remote Programming - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does key fob programming cost?+
Key fob programming in Garland typically runs $65-$375+ depending on the vehicle make/model and type of fob. Proximity/smart keys cost more than basic remotes. Always significantly less than a dealership.
What is the average cost of programming a key fob?+
There is no single average across every vehicle, but GLC's published key fob programming range is $65-$375+. The exact price depends on the vehicle and fob type, and GLC quotes the all-in total before starting work.
Can you program a key fob without going to the dealership?+
Yes. GLC can program replacement fobs for most vehicles at your location, with published key fob programming prices of $65-$375+, so a dealership visit is not always required.
Can you program a fob I bought online?+
Sometimes. Aftermarket fobs work for some vehicles but not all. For newer vehicles with encrypted immobilizer systems, OEM fobs are required. Call us first and we'll confirm before you buy.
Will AutoZone program a key fob for you?+
No. AutoZone can sometimes sell a replacement fob battery, but programming a fob to your vehicle's immobilizer requires dealer-level diagnostic equipment that auto parts stores don't carry. A licensed automotive locksmith programs the fob on-site, usually in 15-30 minutes.
Does Ace Hardware program key fobs?+
No. Ace Hardware's key-cutting kiosks handle basic house and mechanical keys only - they don't have the equipment to program key fobs or transponder chips to your vehicle.
