Ford Keys Cut & Programmed On Site
Lost your Ford key, broke the fob, or need a spare? We come to your Ford anywhere in Columbia and the Midlands, cut the key and program it to the car before we leave — usually faster and cheaper than the dealer.
Key cutting and programming tools travel in the van, so the work happens at your car.
Domestic, Asian and European vehicles, from older cut keys to push-to-start smart keys.
You hear the price on the phone and again before any work begins. No surprise add-ons.
Background-checked technicians, licensed in South Carolina and fully insured.
Ford Car Keys
Ford is one of the most common vehicles we key in the Midlands — work trucks, family SUVs and commuter sedans alike. Most Fords since the late 1990s use Ford’s PATS immobilizer, so the key needs a programmed chip as well as the right cut. We do both at the truck, whether it’s parked at a jobsite in Blythewood or in your driveway in Lexington.
Newer F-150s, Explorers and Escapes with push-button start use Intelligent Access proximity fobs. We supply and program those too, and we can add a spare to an existing set so you are not stuck if one goes missing.
Popular Ford models we key: F-150, Explorer, Escape, Fusion, Focus, Edge, Ranger, Expedition and more. Not sure about yours? Call with the year and model and we’ll confirm before we come out.
How It Works
Everything happens where your vehicle is parked.
Year, model and where your Ford is parked. Have the registration or title and an ID ready.
We cut the blade on the van’s key machine from the code or the lock itself.
We program the chip or fob to your vehicle and test start, locks and remote.
