2007 Subaru Forester
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

Q: How fast can you get to my location?

For Hobson Park and the surrounding Oxnard area, I'm typically on site within 30 minutes of the call, depending on where you are and traffic. When you call, I confirm the year, make, and model so I load the right blank and tools before I leave -- no second trip, no waiting on a parts order.

Q: Can I get a key made today?

Yes. I carry blanks and programming equipment for the 2007 Forester on every call. There's no ordering by VIN, no scheduling a return appointment, and no multi-day wait while a part ships to the dealer. Subaru owners in online forums consistently report that dealers require the fob or key blank to arrive before they'll book the programming appointment, which means the clock doesn't even start until the part shows up. I bring what's needed with me.

Q: My 2007 Forester cranks but won't fully start. Could it be a key problem?

Yes, and it's one of the more frustrating ones because everything seems to be working -- the engine turns over, it sounds normal, and then it just dies after a second or two. That's a classic sign the immobilizer isn't recognizing the transponder chip in the key. It happens most often with copied keys made at hardware stores or kiosks, where the blank looks right but the chip either isn't there or wasn't programmed.

Q: I have two keys for my 2007 Forester and one stopped working. Do I need to reprogram both?

Not always, but it depends on how the replacement is handled. On this generation Forester, adding a key through the OBD port generally doesn't wipe existing keys from memory -- your working key stays enrolled. Where people run into trouble is when a shop performs an all-keys-lost reset to add the new key, which clears everything and requires re-enrolling every key you want to keep.

2007 Subaru Forester Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a woman near Hobson Park in Oxnard on a Tuesday afternoon. She had a 2007 Subaru Forester, and her only key had snapped. Not lost -- snapped, right at the shoulder where the blade meets the plastic head. Half of it was still in her ignition.

That changes the job a little. Before I could hand her a new key, I had to pull the broken piece out of the cylinder without damaging it. I keep a broken key extractor set in the van for exactly this reason. Once the cylinder was clear, I decoded the remaining blade fragment, cut a new key to match, and enrolled the transponder through the OBD port so the immobilizer would accept it.

The whole thing took just under an hour on site. She'd already called the dealer that morning and been told she'd need a tow, a booked appointment, and parts ordered by VIN. That was going to be days, not hours.

She was back in her car before dinner. The dealer route never came up again.

“I had two fob keys made for my Subaru. Marco provided excellent service and persevered through three parts orders to get the keys I needed. He is very thorough in making sure everything is working properly. Communication and punctuality are also to be commended.”

How long does a 2007 Subaru Forester key replacement take?▼

If you have a working key and just need a spare, the cut and program is typically under 45 minutes once I'm on site. If all keys are lost, there's a mandatory wait period built into the immobilizer reset before new keys can be enrolled -- usually around 15 minutes of that time is just the system counting down.
