Our Process
For key fob replacement, the visit looks like this:
- Call (516) 750-0433 with the year, make and model and what the fob is doing (lost, broken, not responding).
- We tell you whether a repair, a new shell or a new fob makes sense, and the price.
- The technician programs the fob to your car on site.
- You test every button and the range before we leave.
- You only pay once everything works at your car.

How Quotes Work
A few things decide the final figure:
- Whether a working key is available to add the new fob
- The make and model of the vehicle
- Whether the fob needs replacing or just a new shell or battery
- How many fobs you want programmed
We would rather give you an honest number on the phone than surprise you on arrival.
How We Can Help
- Programming to your car so lock, unlock, trunk and panic all work
- Emergency blade cut for smart keys, for when the battery dies
- Lost fobs removed from the car's memory where supported
- Cracked fob shells replaced when the electronics still work, often for far less than a new fob
- Honest advice on repairing versus replacing
- Night, weekend and holiday calls, with the quote always given first

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed locksmith in New York State, every technician is insured, and we verify ownership before every job.
How long have you been in business?
Since 2001. Car Key Locksmith is based in Hewlett, NY, and has served drivers across Long Island and Queens for more than two decades.
Do you repair ignitions?
Yes — ignition repair and replacement, including Honda and Acura ignitions that wear out and stop turning.
Do you program fobs I buy online?
We can try, but many online fobs are the wrong frequency or already locked to another car. Ask us for the right part number first.
Can a broken key fob be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the circuit board still works we can move it into a new shell, which costs much less than a new programmed fob.
Why did my fob stop working?
Most often the battery. If a new battery doesn't fix it, the fob may have lost its programming or been damaged — we can test it on site.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the vehicle and the key or lock involved. Call (516) 750-0433 with the year, make and model and we give you the exact price before we dispatch.
