2012 Ford Focus
Lost Key - New One Made Today in Ventura County

Q: Is a locksmith cheaper than the Ford dealer?

Almost always, and on Fords the savings are consistent. A 2017 Fusion owner was quoted $512 at the dealer for one fob and had to leave the car all day. A mobile locksmith did the same job in the driveway for $235 in under an hour. An Escape owner was quoted $300 at the dealer while a locksmith handled it for $60. Ford focused pricing guides show dealer totals of $200 to $450 versus locksmith totals of $100 to $250 for the same work. Most Ford owners save 30 to 50 percent going with a mobile locksmith like us.

Q: Does the price include cutting and programming?

Yes. Our price covers everything: the key blank, cutting to your vehicle specs, programming the transponder chip through the PATS security system, syncing the remote functions, and testing before we leave. Ford dealers often break this into separate charges. One owner reported being quoted $250 for the key blank and another $250 for programming and cutting as two separate line items. Some dealers add a diagnostic or security access fee on top of that. With us it is one price, everything included, done at your location.

Q: What battery does the 2012 Ford Focus key fob use?

The 2012 Ford Focus uses a CR2032 battery. You can pick one up at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so you are starting with a full charge. One Explorer owner found that a loose battery inside the fob was causing intermittent key not detected errors, and simply reseating it fixed the problem. If your fob is acting sluggish or losing range, a new battery is the first thing to try.

Q: Do you charge a trip fee or service call fee?

No. The price we quote includes mobile service to your location anywhere in Oxnard near Del Sol shopping area. There is no trip fee, no service call charge, no mileage add-on. Ford dealers require you to bring the vehicle in, and if all keys are lost, Ford's own instructions say you may need to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. One Escape owner was already driving a borrowed car because their Ford was sitting unusable until they could figure out towing. We come to you whether you are at home, at work, or stuck in a parking lot, and the quote stays the same.

2012 Ford Focus Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I can make a key for your 2012 Ford Focus with no original. No spare needed, no existing key needed. I build one from scratch right at the car. All-keys-lost is one of the most common calls I get because a lot of Ford owners only ever had one key.

A customer at the beach near Del Sol shopping area lost his only key somewhere in the sand. He retraced his steps for an hour, checked with the lifeguard station, and came up with nothing. His Focus was sitting in the lot and he had no way to open it. He figured the car was stuck there until a tow truck could bring it to the dealer Monday morning. I told him I could be there that afternoon.

So I started with my HU101 Lishi to pick his door open and decode every wafer position. Then I cut a fresh blade to match. From there I connected through OBD and ran the PATS all-keys-lost sequence, which clears any previous keys from the car's memory and learns the new one as primary. His smart key, FCC ID M3N-5WY8609, started the car on the first try. I cut him a spare too so he wouldn't be in this situation again.

The whole job took about 45 minutes and came out to around 243. Dealer would have been roughly 421 plus a tow and a Monday appointment. He drove home from that same beach lot with two working keys.

“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.”
