2024 Kia Forte Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
It was around 10:30 at night in Scripps Ranch when my phone rang. The guy on the other end was a night janitor. He'd finished a shift, walked out to the parking lot, and his only key to his 2024 Forte was gone. Not in his pocket, not in his bag, not on the ground under the car. Gone.
He didn't have his registration on him and wasn't sure what a VIN was. He was already looking up tow companies, thinking he'd have to drag the car somewhere just to deal with it in the morning.
I told him to stay put. I walked him through finding the VIN on the driver's side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield. He found it. I told him to open his insurance app -- most of them show the registration. His did. That VIN told me everything: the key type, what blank I needed, what the programming sequence looks like on this system.
I loaded up the van and drove out to him.
Under the parking lot lights, I pulled the PIN using the VIN and ran the all-keys-lost procedure through the OBD port. That wipes the old key data completely -- whatever happened to his original fob, it was never going to start that car again after that point. I built the new fob on site, programmed it, tested every button, checked the door handles, and had him try the start himself so he could feel it working.
He drove home that night. The dealer was closed, and their process would have meant a tow, a wait, and a bill that hurt a lot worse than mine.
The VIN is the single most useful piece of information you can give me before I leave for the job. Everything else I can work around.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
“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.”
