Welcome to Key Buddy Locksmith & Car Key - Your Trusted car Locksmith in the Keys
Keys and Fobs for Vehicles in Fort Lauderdale
Losing or damaging your car key or remote fob is frustrating — especially when you realize dealerships charge hundreds of dollars and take days to replace it.
At Key Buddy Locksmith, we make the process simple, fast, and affordable.
Our certified technicians provide on-site car key replacement and fob programming services in Fort Lauderdale for all major U.S. vehicle brands.
Whether you need a new key, a spare fob, or a reprogrammed transponder, we’ll have you back on the road in no time.
🔧 How the Car Key Programming Process Works
Modern vehicles use transponder chips or smart fobs that must be paired with your car’s onboard computer.
Here’s how we do it — step by step:
- Verification & Security Check:
We confirm vehicle ownership and check the VIN to ensure authorized access.
- Key Cutting:
Using advanced laser or high-precision cutting machines, we create an exact physical copy of your original key.
- Programming the Chip or Fob:
With dealer-grade diagnostic tools, we sync your new key or fob to the vehicle’s immobilizer system so it starts and unlocks normally.
- Testing & Delivery:
We test both mechanical and remote functions before handing it to you — all done on-site, usually within 30–45 minutes.
You don’t have to tow your car or wait for the dealership — we come to your location anywhere in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Davie, Plantation, or Pompano Beach.
🔍 How to Search on Google When You Need a New Car Key
When you lose your key or remote, searching the right way helps you find local locksmiths faster.
Here are the best ways to look it up:
- ✅ “car key replacement near me”
- ✅ “key fob programming Fort Lauderdale”
- ✅ “lost my car key Fort Lauderdale”
- ✅ “locksmith for car keys in Fort Lauderdale”
Avoid typing brand-specific dealership names unless you want to overpay.
A certified automotive locksmith like us can make and program your key on the spot for a fraction of the price.
