2012 Volvo Xc60 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

South Bank in Oxnard on a Saturday evening is quiet. Not many people walking around, not much open. That is exactly where I got a call from a guy staying at a bed and breakfast who had a dead fob and nowhere to go.

He had driven down from out of town, parked, and by the time he came back out after dinner the key was not waking the car up. Push-to-start would not respond. The emergency blade was there but stiff from never being used, and he had not touched it in years. He called the Volvo dealer. They told him tow it in Monday, earliest appointment Tuesday, and quoted him a number that made him pause on the phone.

He found me instead.

I pulled up to the inn with the van, popped the fob open right on the hood of his car under the parking lot light, and seated a fresh CR2450. Nothing. The battery was not the issue this time. The fob itself had given up.

I connected my diagnostic equipment to the OBD port, identified the key memory in the vehicle, and registered a new fob matched to his car. The factory fob on the label was the reference point. New key cut on the blade in the van. Full walk-around after: door handles, start confirmation, lock and unlock, every button on the six-button fob. About 35 minutes total from the time I parked.

He did not have to wait until Tuesday. He did not have to arrange a tow from a neighborhood he did not know. He drove out of South Bank that same night. The dealer comparison came up on its own, and I told him what I tell everyone: call and ask what we charge before you assume.
