2001 Ford Excursion Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was parked on Main Avenue in Downtown Fallbrook when the call came in. A woman needed a spare key for her 2001 Ford Excursion. She was polite but direct, and the first thing she said was that she had already looked up my BSIS license number before calling.

That stopped me for a second. Not because it was unusual, but because it was exactly the right thing to do. She told me she had used a locksmith once before who left her with a receipt that had no company name and a phone number that went dead inside a week. She was not going to do that again.

I drove to her location. The Excursion was sitting in a lot near the pharmacy, big as a boat, and she watched the whole job from start to finish. That is the kind of customer I like. The transponder key for this generation is a turn-key in the ignition, no fob, no buttons, just a key with a chip in the head. I cut the blade to her vehicle and ran the programming sequence. The Excursion started on the first try.

She said seeing my van with the company name, getting a real receipt with a license number and a working phone number, and having someone who showed up and did the job without drama was what she was actually paying for. The key was almost secondary. She saved a good chunk compared to what the dealer had quoted her over the phone, but honestly that part came up almost as an afterthought.
