Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2018 Ford Fiesta Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy called me from a parking lot off Spring Street in Downtown La Mesa. It was after 9pm, he had just finished dinner, and his Fiesta key was gone. Not in his pocket, not on the ground near the car. Just gone.

He was already in that spiral where you start questioning everything. He mentioned towing it home, then towing it to the dealer in the morning, then maybe just leaving it overnight. He was searching for 24-hour tow companies while we were talking.

I slowed him down. Asked him to look through the lower left corner of his windshield. He found the VIN on the first try once he knew what he was looking for. Pulled up his insurance app, got his registration info, confirmed ownership right there on the phone. That was all I needed to prep before I drove over.

When I got to the lot, he was standing outside the car looking relieved just to see another person. I set up under the parking lot lights, connected to the OBD port, and walked him through what I was doing while I worked. The all-keys-lost procedure on this system erases every previously registered fob first, then you enroll the new ones. There's a timed security access window built into the process, so you don't rush it. Battery maintainer on the whole time.

Cut the blade, built the fob, ran the programming sequence, tested every function. He drove home that night.

The dealer was closed and would have needed the car towed in and left there at least a day. His total with me was a fraction of that, done on site, in about 45 minutes.
