2008 Kia Optima Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
She was at a shopping center patio in San Diego when her purse disappeared. Someone grabbed it off the back of her chair. Car keys, wallet, phone. She borrowed a friend's phone and called the police, then her daughter, then me.
Her 2008 Kia Optima was in the lot with zero keys. The dealer told her daughter 3 to 5 business days, tow it in, and recommended an immobilizer reset since the stolen fob could still start the car. Combined estimate over $700.
I got there that evening. All-keys-lost after a theft means I wipe the entire key memory so the stolen fob is electronically dead to the car. I used my IM608 to access the immobilizer, erase all old key data, and program two new keys from scratch. Her smart key, FCC ID OSLOKA-310T, was a 4-button proximity fob. I decoded the lock, cut the emergency blade, and had both fobs working before the police called back.
She drove home that night. Total was $82 for two keys. Dealer estimated $185 plus a tow and a multi-day wait. The stolen fob can still physically open the door but the immobilizer won't let it start.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
