2020 Kia RIO Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
There is a dog boarding facility out near the edge of Otay Mesa, close to the Nestor side, where people drop off their dogs before road trips. That is exactly where I got the call.
The owner had found me on YouTube before he ever needed a locksmith. He watched a Kia key replacement video, saw the actual job on an actual car, and saved my number. Smart move. When his 2020 Rio smart key started acting inconsistent a few days before he was heading out of town, he did not waste time searching around.
He described it as intermittent. Sometimes the car would not detect the fob right away. Sometimes the door handle response was slow. The car would start, but it felt like it was arguing with him first.
I came to him at the facility. Checked the fob battery first, which is always where I start. The CR2032 was reading low, not dead, but low enough to cause exactly what he was describing. Swapped it, seated it correctly, cleaned the contacts. Then I did a full function check: every button, handle touch response, and three start cycles.
Everything came back clean. The fob did not need to be replaced and the vehicle did not need reprogramming. Just a battery that was coasting on fumes.
He said he appreciated that I showed up and checked the whole thing instead of just handing him a new fob and calling it done. He left for his trip on time. That is the job.

“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.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
