2006 Ford Escape Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

There's a pharmacy on University Avenue in North Park where I've done a handful of parking lot jobs. This one was a 2006 Ford Escape, silver, parked in the shade near the side entrance.

The owner had done her homework. Before she called me, she pulled my license number off the BSIS website and verified it was active. She told me the reason straight out: her last locksmith left her with a receipt that had no company name, no license number, and a phone number that stopped working a week later. She wasn't doing that again.

Her situation was a worn remote head key that had gotten to the point where the ignition wouldn't always read it. She'd been wiggling it on the way out of every parking lot, just hoping it would catch. It usually did. Then one morning it didn't.

I cut a replacement key blade to her vehicle and programmed the new remote head key on site. The whole thing was done in the parking lot, no tow, no dealer appointment, no waiting three days for a part to arrive.

She watched me work from start to finish, which I appreciate. People who watch are usually the people who care about getting it done right. When the Escape started clean on the first turn, she just nodded. That was enough.

She saved a good chunk compared to the dealer quote she'd gotten over the phone. But what she actually said mattered more to her was the receipt: real company name, real license number, real phone number, real van with the name on the side. I gave her my card and told her the license number is public record on the BSIS site any time she wants to check it.
