Key Fob Stopped Working? We Fix It at Your Location
Modern vehicles depend on key fobs for far more than locking and unlocking. Remote start, trunk release, push-button ignition activation — your fob is the central remote control for your entire car. When it stops responding, gets lost, or breaks, your only option used to be the dealership. Not anymore.
Cabrera's Key Fob programs replacement key fobs for all major vehicle makes and models, right at your location in San Jose or anywhere across the South Bay. Whether your fob battery has died and replacement doesn't fix it (meaning the fob's internal circuit has failed), or you've lost your only remote and need a new one paired to your vehicle, we have the tools and parts to handle it on-site, same day.
Key fob programming isn't a simple button sequence. Modern vehicles require a professional OBD-II programmer to write new fob identity codes directly into the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). Our technicians use dealer-grade equipment that communicates with your car's computer the same way a dealership would — at a fraction of the cost and without the multi-day wait. We stock fobs compatible with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and dozens more brands. Call (408) 794-8016 for a free quote — we'll come to you.
Our auto locksmith team supports key fob programming for a wide range of vehicle brands including Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Nissan, Infiniti, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mini, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and more. Whether your vehicle uses a basic remote entry fob or an advanced proximity-based smart key, we have the diagnostic equipment to handle the programming process correctly.
Dealerships typically charge two to four times more for the same key fob programming service and require scheduling an appointment days in advance. Our mobile service means we come to your home, office, or anywhere else in San Jose and the South Bay — often within the same day. We also offer service around the clock, seven days a week, including holidays.
Don't struggle with a non-functional key fob or pay dealer prices. Call (408) 794-8016 for a fast, free quote and same-day scheduling.
