About this service
Modern vehicles use key fobs that must be digitally paired with the car's ignition system to function. If you bought a new fob or replaced the battery, it might need to be programmed to your specific car. This requires specialized diagnostic equipment to sync the security codes. Costs depend on the complexity of the vehicle's onboard security system and the fob type. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
