2008 Ford Fusion Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

There is a pharmacy near the Windsor North/River Ridge area in Oxnard and I have done a few jobs in that parking lot. People are usually in a hurry, which makes it a strange place to slow down and actually talk to someone about why they called a mobile locksmith instead of just going to the dealer.

This owner had done her homework. She told me she looked up my BSIS license before calling, which is exactly the right move. Her last experience with a locksmith had gone sideways. The guy showed up, did the job, and handed her something that passed for a receipt but had no company name, no license number, and a phone number that went dead inside a week. She had no way to follow up when the key started acting flaky a month later. This time she wanted a paper trail.

Her 2008 Fusion had one working key left and she wanted a spare before that one failed completely. Smart call. The remote head key on this car is a combined unit, so when you lose it, you are losing your remote and your programmed key at once.

I cut the new blade on site, programmed the fob, and walked her through testing every button against both doors, then confirmed the car fired up clean. She watched the whole thing from about four feet away.

The dealer quote she had was for parts plus labor, appointment required, minimum two-day turnaround, and towing if the remaining key failed in the meantime. She paid a fraction of that, skipped the appointment, and drove out of that parking lot with a spare in her hand. She also got a receipt with a real license number, a real company name, and a phone number that will still work next month.
