2001 BMW 5 Series Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call from a guy out in Buena Creek who had already been burned once. He didn't open with "hey can you help me." He opened with "how do I know you're not going to do what the last guy did."
Fair.
He had a 2001 BMW 5 Series sitting in his driveway. A few weeks before finding me, he'd clicked one of those sponsored locksmith ads, the kind with the suspiciously low number in the headline. Someone showed up, spent close to an hour, couldn't finish the job, and left him with a car that still wouldn't start and a charge that had no business being what it was. He was done trusting ads.
I gave him my BSIS license number right on the phone. He looked it up while we were still talking. That seemed to settle something.
When I got to him in Buena Creek, the situation was exactly what he described. The remote head key had stopped doing anything remotely, but the car still started, which told me the transponder was intact. The fob itself had the classic E39 symptom: internal rechargeable cell worn down to nothing. I diagnosed it on site, programmed a replacement key through the diagnostic port so the transponder was properly enrolled, and walked through every button with him before I packed up.
He asked what the dealer would have charged. I told him to call and find out. He already knew it was a lot more. That part wasn't really the point for him. The point was that somebody showed up with the right tools, gave him a straight answer, and finished the job.

What doorstep service looks like in reviews
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
