1997 Ford Explorer Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I've been replacing Ford keys in San Ysidro for over 8 years. My YouTube channel has over 113,000 subscribers watching me do real jobs on real cars. Not animations, not stock footage. Actual key replacements filmed at the vehicle. I show the tools, the process, the mistakes when they happen, and the finished result.

A boater at the marina in San Ysidro found me on YouTube before he ever needed a locksmith. He watched a Ford key replacement video, saw the process, and saved my number. When his 1997 Ford Explorer key started acting up a few months later, he already knew who to call. He told me he liked that he could see exactly what the job looked like before picking up the phone.

I used my VVDI Key Tool to program his replacement fob. His fob, FCC ID , was a 3-button smart key with remote start. I tested every button, did three clean starts, and confirmed the range from the dock.

His key cost about $95. Dealer charges $200 for the same job. My review count isn't just a number. Each review is a real Ford, Honda, Toyota, or other make that I worked on in the field. There's no dispatcher, no call center, and no mystery tech. The same person from the YouTube videos is the same person at your car.

“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”

Ford Explorer Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How do I spot a fake locksmith before I get ripped off?
Look for three things. First, a real business name, physical address, and verifiable reviews on Google and Yelp. One scam victim reported the phone numbers did not match any online listings and they could not locate the company online at all. Second, ask for a firm price on the phone for your specific Ford model. A legitimate locksmith will ask your year, make, and model and give you a comprehensive out-the-door price. Third, ask about their state license. In California, every locksmith company must have a BSIS license number they can give you on the spot.
