2017 Ford Escape Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

BSIS license LCO#6792 means I passed California's background check, maintain active liability insurance, and operate a registered locksmith company. NASTF certification means I have access to the factory security database that provides key codes and immobilizer data unlicensed operators can't get. Google Guaranteed means Google verified my license and insurance independently.

A customer at the pharmacy near Brown Field told me she'd verified my license number before calling. Her previous locksmith had no license at all. She found that out after the job when his receipt had no company name, no license number, and no phone number that worked a week later. She needed a spare for her 2017 Ford Escape and wasn't taking chances this time.

NASTF access specifically matters on Ford because it gives me factory security data for the PATS system. When I program a key using my ACDP or any of my tools, the NASTF database provides the original pin codes and immobilizer data that verify my access is authorized. Unlicensed locksmiths without NASTF use workarounds that are less reliable and can leave error codes in the system. Her fob, FCC ID M3N-5WY8609, was programmed through the correct factory data path.

Her spare cost $243. Dealer quoted $421 over the phone. I gave her a real receipt with a real license number, a real phone number, and a real company van with the name on it. She said that alone was worth the call. You can look up LCO#6792 on the BSIS website right now. It's public record.
