Lost or broken key fobs are one of our most common Millcreek calls — and one of the most over-charged services at dealerships.
Dealerships charge $250–$700 for a fob plus a mandatory tow if you have no working key. We program most fobs on-site for $129–$249.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, GM, Chrysler, and many European models from 2010 onward.
Programming a single all-keys-lost fob is more expensive than adding a second to an existing one. Always keep two working fobs to save money long-term.
If your fob occasionally fails, try a fresh CR2032 battery first — costs $3 and solves 30% of 'broken fob' calls.
