How our Key Fob Replacement works in Orinda
Here is how a typical key fob replacement visit works when you call Avant Guard Locksmith in Orinda:
Match the fob: We identify the correct fob for your vehicle.
Program: We pair the fob to your car's system.
Cut the blade: We cut any emergency blade the fob uses.
Test functions: We confirm lock, unlock, trunk, and start.
Throughout the visit we keep you in the loop. Before we touch anything on your Orinda property, you will know what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost — so there are never surprises when the work is done.
We come prepared. Our Orinda service vehicles carry the blanks, cylinders, programmers, and hardware for the vast majority of jobs, which is why we can usually finish in one trip instead of scheduling a return visit.
