2013 Honda Ridgeline
Emergency Key Replacement in Ventura County

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Ask for a license number, a written estimate, and the company name before they roll. Scam locksmiths quote low on the phone and then inflate the price in your driveway. One Honda owner described a locksmith quoting 80 to 120 by phone and then trying to more than double the price once on site. We give you a firm price on the phone for your specific Honda model, show up in a branded vehicle, and the price does not change.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Yes. We program both the transponder chip for engine start authorization and the remote functions for lock, unlock, and any other buttons your 2013 Honda Ridgeline has. We test everything before we leave: engine start, remote lock, remote unlock, and any other functions. Honda service documentation warns that improperly programmed keys can cause BCM failures. We use Honda-safe programming procedures and verify every function on the spot.

Q: What battery does the 2013 Honda Ridgeline key fob use?

The 2013 Honda Ridgeline uses a CR1616 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. If your Honda fob is acting sluggish or losing range, a new battery is the first thing to try before assuming the key needs to be replaced.

Q: What happens if something goes wrong after you leave?

We warranty our work. If the key we made has any issue under normal use, we come back and fix it or replace it. Honda dealers can actually deny warranty claims on key-related work if they decide an aftermarket fob or third-party tool caused a problem, and their warranty booklet spells that out. Honda owners on forums report being told repairs are customer pay because a non-dealer tool was used. With us, if we made the key and something goes wrong, we take care of it.

2013 Honda Ridgeline Remote head key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

If you want the fastest possible 2013 Honda Ridgeline key replacement, here's what to have ready when I arrive. Your VIN number, which is on the dashboard on the driver's side visible through the windshield, and also on your registration and insurance card. Your ID proving you own the vehicle. And if you have a working key, even a dead one, keep it nearby because add-a-key is faster than all-keys-lost.

A nail tech at a strip mall salon in Oxnard had all three ready when I pulled up. She had a break between clients and had texted me the VIN before I even left. Her Ridgeline needed a spare and with the VIN, I already knew her remote head key, FCC ID OUCG8D-380H-A, and the exact 3-button configuration before I arrived. I had the blank prepped in the van on the drive over.

I used my VVDI2 to clone the transponder from her working key onto the new blank. Because she had the VIN ready and a working key present, I skipped the lock decode step entirely and went straight to cutting and programming. Total time from parking my van to handing her a tested spare was 18 minutes. She was back with her next client before the break was even over.

That's the fastest version of this job at around 185 total. Dealer charges 395 for the same key with none of the speed. Every minute of prep you do before I arrive is a minute off the total job time.

“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”

“I needed two keys made for my Honda Element. Friendly, fast, fair pricing, and far better than any other locksmith I have used in the area. Best service by far.”
