2024 Ford F-350
Key Made On-Site - Best Price in Ventura County

Q: Do I need to tow my Ford to the dealer?

Not if you call us. Ford's own key replacement instructions say that if all coded keys are lost, you may need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer. They require you to show up in person with ID and proof of ownership before they will do anything. Towing a Ford to the dealer can run $100 to $150 or more depending on distance, and that is on top of the $300 to $500 the dealer charges for the key itself. We come to you and handle the PATS programming, cutting, and key registration right at the vehicle.

Q: What do I need to prove I own the vehicle?

A valid photo ID and proof of ownership like your registration or title. We verify the VIN from the dashboard plate or door jamb sticker on your Ford to confirm the key specs. That is the same standard whether you use a locksmith or a dealer. Ford dealers require the same documentation but add extra steps. One owner who lost a key to theft was told to bring a police report letter in addition to registration. For rental vehicles, Ford dealers have required the rental agreement plus phone confirmation from the rental company before they would start the process.

Q: How many buttons does the 2024 Ford F-350 key have?

Your 2024 Ford F-350 key has 5 buttons. The button count helps confirm exactly which fob your vehicle uses, since Ford uses different remotes across trim levels and model years. Higher trim models with remote start have additional buttons compared to base trims. When you call us, having this detail ready helps us verify the right key before we head to your location so there are no mismatches when we arrive.

Q: What if I am not near home when I need a key?

That is exactly what mobile service is built for. Whether you are at a store, at a restaurant, stuck in a parking garage, or on a job site in Lynn Ranch neighborhood in Thousand Oaks, we come to you. One Mach-E owner got locked out at a car wash when the car locked with the fob inside, the door code stopped working, and they had to walk to a gas station for help. Ford dealers will tell you to tow the car to their service bay during business hours. We bring the tools to your location and handle everything where the vehicle sits.

2024 Ford F-350 Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Stuck ignitions on Ford are one of the most common calls I get, and dealers love turning a $200 problem into a $600 one. The HU101 ignition cylinder on Focus, Fusion, Escape, and Explorer models wears down over time. The wafers inside get loose, the key starts sticking, and eventually the customer thinks the whole ignition assembly needs replacing. The dealer will happily sell them that.

A customer at the gym in Thousand Oaks had been fighting his 2024 Ford F-350 ignition for weeks. He'd wiggle the key, push it in hard, sometimes wait a minute before it would turn. The dealer quoted him 486 for a new ignition cylinder, new key, and reprogramming. He was about to book the appointment when his buddy told him to call a locksmith first.

I looked at his ignition and the issue was worn wafers, not a dead cylinder. So I used my ACDP to back up the immobilizer data, then decoded the existing lock, replaced the worn wafers, and cut a fresh key that matched the repaired cylinder. His separate remote fob, FCC ID M3N-A3C108397, paired right back up. I showed him the old wafers so he could see the wear and understand why the dealer's fix was overkill.

His total was 286. The ignition works smooth again, the key turns clean, and he didn't replace a single part that wasn't actually broken.

“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
