Sandy Costello

He is so very respectful, diligent, neat! Could not have been better. Highly recommend him. Wonderful person!

Julie Paul (Zaya Body Jewelry)

Great experience! The dealer wanted $600 for a keyfob for a 2021 Highlander and it was $300 at Mr. Key's. Friendly service and out in less than 30 minutes. I'll never go to a dealer again for a replacement key.

Randy Stott

I was there maybe 10 min. Was really impressed with how fast I got a new key fob. It cost me $170 plus tax. So it’s kind of expensive but the owner said it cost more to take it to a dealership

we had a damage fob key that would not work on our Dodge caravan. We were recommended to Mr Keys LOCKSMITH on 586 Lyell Avenue. explained what we needed and the gentleman that service our request was simply amazing. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes with a key fob replacement for under $50. their prices are incredibly more than reasonable, and the customer service is spectacular. They are competent. They are knowledgeable and they get great service.. We originally were told by another company that it would take a week to get it done And approximately $200. We definitely got a blessing and a bargain at Mr Keys.

Wonderful experience! I needed to replace the key fob for my car. The dealership wanted more than $300. My mechanic told me about "Mr. Key's" they saved me 65% off the dealer price. I highly recommend Mr. Key's .

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you replace and program key fobs for most makes?

They handle a wide range of vehicles, including transponder, smart, and proximity keys. Availability can vary by model year and trim, so calling ahead with your vehicle details is recommended.

How long does a typical key fob replacement take?

Many customers report being in and out within 10 to 30 minutes for common models. Times can vary based on your vehicle, required programming steps, and parts availability.

Is it cheaper than going to the dealership?

Several reviews mention paying significantly less than dealer quotes for fob replacements. Exact pricing depends on the vehicle and key type, so ask for an estimate before you visit.

Do I need to bring my vehicle to the shop?

For programming and testing, having the vehicle on-site is often necessary. Call to discuss your situation, especially if all keys are lost or the car is not drivable.

What should I bring for a replacement key or fob?

Bring your vehicle, a working key if you have one, and identification that matches the vehicle registration. This helps confirm ownership and speeds up service.
