1998 Subaru Forester MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I come to your GPS pin. You drop a pin where the car is, I drive to that pin, and the job happens wherever your 1998 Subaru Forester sits. Parking lot, driveway, fire road, gravel pullout. The car doesn't move.

A mountain biker at a fire road pullout outside Rancho Santa Fe lost his Subaru key somewhere on the trail. No dealer within 30 miles. His car wasn't going anywhere without a key. He hiked to cell service and texted me his pin.

I drove out with everything for his Forester loaded. I used my ACDP to back up his immobilizer data, then decoded the lock with my DAT17 and cut a fresh key on-site. His key, FCC ID , was a 3-button remote that I built from scratch at the pullout.

His car started in that dirt lot. Total was around $95. A dealer would have charged $200 plus a tow from a location no flatbed could easily reach.

Get your key for hundreds less than the dealer. Same quality, same result, better price.

“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.”

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do I have to go to the Subaru dealer to get a replacement key?
No. A qualified mobile locksmith can cut and program a MECHANICAL-KEY for your 1998 Subaru Forester right where the vehicle sits. Many Subaru owners assume the dealer is the only option because some general locksmiths refuse Subaru work. One Crosstrek owner was told a locksmith could not handle keyless fobs and they had to go to the dealer. That is a limitation of that particular locksmith, not of all locksmiths. We have Subaru specific programming tools and handle these jobs regularly. With us the job is done in a single same-day visit.
