2017 Kia Optima
On-Location Key Service in Ventura County

Q: How fast can you get to my location?

That depends on where you are in East Ventura neighborhood, Ventura and what our schedule looks like when you call. We give you an honest arrival window on the phone. Because we are mobile and already out on the road, we can often get to you faster than Kia Roadside Assistance, which owners report takes 90 to 120 minutes just to show up. Kia dealers require appointments that may be weeks out, and even when you show up on time, the car has to wait for a certified tech and programming equipment before the actual 15 minutes of key work begins.

Q: Can I get a key made today?

In most cases, yes. We carry key blanks, cutting equipment, and programming tools for Kia models in our service vehicle. If we have your key in stock and our schedule allows it, we can be at your location and have a new smart key cut, programmed, and tested the same day you call. Kia dealers often cannot match that. One Forte5 owner was told it would take two weeks just to order the fob before programming could happen. Telluride and EV6 owners describe waiting weeks for dealers to order keys and schedule programming. We carry the parts and do it same-day.

Q: What battery does the 2017 Kia Optima key fob use?

The 2017 Kia Optima uses a CR2032 battery. You can find them at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so your new key is ready to go from the moment we hand it to you. A weak battery is one of the most common reasons a Kia fob starts acting sluggish, so it is worth checking before calling for a full replacement.

Q: Do I need an appointment?

No formal appointment is needed. Call us, we confirm your vehicle details and give you a price, and we schedule a time that works for you. Many of our Kia jobs are same-day. At a Kia dealer, you typically need to book a service appointment that may be two to three weeks out based on what owners report. One Kia owner said dealer appointments are "always for the next couple weeks," and warranty-related work gets pushed even further out. We do not operate on a dealership schedule.

2017 Kia Optima Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

He landed after a work trip overseas, walked to the airport garage level 3, and his 2017 Kia Optima wouldn't respond to the fob. Dead CR2032 battery in the remote. The car was locked, the emergency blade was buried in his carry-on in the trunk, and the trunk wouldn't pop without the remote.

The dealer's earliest was Thursday. It was Tuesday. A tow would run $180. He found EZ Car Keyz online.

I was at the garage in 40 minutes. I got the door open and connected my IM608 to OBD. It confirmed his key was still learned to the car, just the dead fob battery causing no remote response. His smart key with FCC ID SY5JFFGE04 was back working after a CR2032 swap and a quick reprogram to clear the fault.

He drove home that same morning. Total was about 95. Dealer would have been 200 plus $180 towing plus two more days of waiting.

“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”

“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.”

Kia Optima Same-Day Key Replacement FAQ

What to expect price-wise

How long does a 2017 Kia Optima key replacement take?▼

Most Kia key replacements take 15 to 45 minutes once we are at your vehicle. A straightforward add-a-key on a Soul or Sorento with a flip key can program in about 15 minutes. A Telluride or Forte push-to-start smart key may take closer to 30 minutes with immobilizer registration. Either way, you are looking at well under an hour from the time we arrive to the time you have a working, tested key in your hand. Compare that to Kia owners who report dealer service backlogs of two to three weeks just to get on the schedule.
