Key fob programming & replacement fobs
We program new key fobs and replacement remotes so you can add a spare or replace one that's lost or stopped working. We test every button — lock, unlock, trunk, panic — before you leave.
Transponder key programming
Many modern cars need a coded transponder chip key to start, not just a cut key. We program transponder chip keys so your spare actually starts the car, not just opens the door.
Frequently asked questions
Can you program a fob I bought online?+
Sometimes. Call us with the details — your vehicle and the fob you bought — and we'll tell you honestly whether it can be programmed before you book.
What's the difference between a key fob and a transponder key?+
A key fob is the remote that locks and unlocks the car. A transponder key is a physical key with a coded chip that the car must recognize before it will start. We program both.

Having a van that’s almost old enough to vote comes with its.. quirks. Jason and the JCo team were recommended by a friend earlier this year and we are loyal clients now. Jason is honest and fair, and easy to communicate with. My partner knows way more about car repairs than I do, and he can confirm that price and work-wise, we are not being taken advantage of (budget is a big priority for us too). More life to Jason and the JCo team!
