New fob, spare fob, or a fob that quit talking to the car? Our Mission Viejo techs supply and program key fobs for most makes, pair them at your car, and test every button before we leave.
Mission Viejo Locksmith
A key fob looks simple right up until it stops working in The Shops parking structure, or the spare you bought online turns out to speak the wrong language for your car. Key fob programming is where the right tools and the right software version matter, and guessing gets expensive fast.
Mission Viejo Locksmith (licensed team behind Golden Locks, CA License LCO4446) programs fobs for most makes valley drivers own: Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, and more. We supply quality fobs, pair them at the car, wipe lost ones from memory, and test lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and remote start with you watching.
Already bought a fob? Bring it. If it is the correct part for your car, we program it and you pay only for the service. If it is the wrong one, we will tell you straight and quote the right fob with no pressure.

How it works
Call (657) 680-4448. Fob types vary by trim, and the details matter.
Supplying your own fob or ours, the full price is stated first.
Registration plus photo ID, standard on every key and fob job.
We program the fob, wipe lost ones if asked, and test every button together.
Local & proud
We program fobs in driveways from Pacific Hills to Painted Trails, in office lots along Marguerite Pkwy, and in the Kaleidoscope garage when a night out ends with a dead fob. Summer adds its own pattern: fobs drowned at Lake Mission Viejo or left in beach bags after Salt Creek runs, working fine until the corrosion wins a month later.
Tell us where the car sits and what the fob does or does not do. Half the time the diagnosis, and the honest price, is settled before the van even rolls.
Good to know
A honest tip that costs us work: a large share of 'dead' fobs just need a fresh coin battery, a two minute fix you can do at the kitchen counter. If the car starts fine with the fob held against the start button, the battery is the prime suspect.
Swap it, and if the fob is still silent, call us. We would rather earn the programming job than sell you one you never needed, and that is exactly the kind of thing our reviews talk about.
Call now and a licensed Mission Viejo tech can be on the way, with the price locked in before we start.
Why choose us
We quote arrival windows by neighborhood, because Marguerite Pkwy at 5 p.m. is not a canyon run out Trabuco Canyon Rd after dark, and we would rather tell you the truth than a fairy tale. Madrid and Barcelona at school pickup, the lake streets on a summer evening: the dispatcher who answers knows all of it.
Licensed under CA LCO4446 and rated 4.5 stars across 465 Google reviews, we set your price before work begins and stand behind every lock we fit. Straight answers, solid hardware: that is the whole pitch.

Good questions
If it is the correct part for your year, make, and trim, yes. If it is not, we will identify the right one and quote it fairly. Either way you get a straight answer at the car.
Most pairings take 20 to 40 minutes including testing. Some models need a security wait built into the process, and we tell you that up front.
Usually a dying battery, worn button contacts, or early water damage. We test the fob's signal, swap the battery, and only recommend replacement if the board itself is failing.
Yes. We can originate and program new fobs from the car's data with proof of ownership, the same process as an all-keys-lost replacement.
Not after we delete it. Wiping lost fobs from the car's memory is part of the job whenever a fob has gone missing, just say the word.
Yes, proximity smart keys are a daily job for us, programmed with the right software for your model and fully tested, including the hidden emergency blade.
