4 State Car Keys

10/12/2026

Got a call from a customer whose keys had stopped working and whose alarm kept randomly going off, even in the middle of the night! It got so bad they had to disconnect the vehicle’s battery just to get some sleep. After a little digging, I found a water-damaged key fob was causing the trouble. Programmed a new fob, removed the battery from the damaged one, and got them back on their way! Hopefully, no more late-night alarms!

All keys lost on this 2018 Ford F-250, with an active alarm to make things a little more interesting.

When the alarm is active on these Fords, it can shut down access to the vehicle’s computers, which makes programming a new key a little trickier.

Fortunately, I have the tools and experience to work through it. Got the truck taken care of and a new key programmed without a trip to the dealership.

The best part? This customer was actually referred to me by the local Ford dealership.

Even they know when you need a key made, 4 State Car Keys is the place to call. 🔑

Don’t fall for marketplace scams!

Profiles will pop up out of the blue, make 20 listings for the same service, you contact them, they say they need a deposit, you pay the deposit and they disappear into the night with your hard earned money!

Need a car key? Call someone you can trust! Call someone who stands behind the product they sell!

I think I’ve got enough drinks to last me for most of the day.

What is your favorite drink of choice whether it’s an energy drink, coffee or something else?

I have got a huge favor to ask!

If I’ve helped you out with a key, remote, or getting you back on the road, I’d appreciate it if you took a minute to leave 4 State Car Keys a review on Google!

I’ve got several great reviews over on Facebook, but I’m trying to get my Google page caught up.

Reviews really help a small local business like mine show up when someone needs a locksmith.

Thanks to everyone who has supported 4 State Car Keys!

Just because your vehicle is older doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a chipped key!

This customer’s 1999 F-150 quit starting after his original key broke. He had new metal keys made that opened the doors and turned the ignition, but the truck still wouldn’t start.

He was told his truck didn’t have a chipped key — unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

I came out, cut and programmed a new transponder key, and got him back on the road.

Transponder keys have been around since the 90s, and many look just like a regular key.

Need a spare? We can cut and program it on the spot.

$167 plus tax  at your local auto parts store and you get to figure out the programmer and hope it works!

Or $99 plus tax programmed with a one-year warranty using OEM GM remote. The choice is clear! Give 4 state car keys a call!

A friendly reminder about customer-supplied keys.

When you bring us your own key or fob, you’re paying for my time, knowledge, programming, and use of my specialized equipment, and subscriptions required for some cars. That charge applies whether the key programs successfully or not.

Not all aftermarket keys are created equal, and unfortunately, some simply won’t work.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust a $15 Amazon/ eBay key to reliably start my vehicle every day… and neither should you!

When you purchase your key from 4 State Car Keys, we can stand behind both the product and the programming.

We strive to provide quality keys and fobs!

I provide a 1-year warranty on MY keys and fobs. If you have an issue with one, let me know and I’ll make it right.

The only things not covered under the warranty are water damage or physical damage.

Sometimes trying saving a few bucks on a key ends up costing more in the long run!
