We come to the car, not the other way around
Lost the Fobik to your Charger? Grand Caravan fob quit reading? We're a mobile locksmith serving Jacksonville and about 50 miles around it, and we replace Dodge keys wherever the vehicle sits. Driveway in Mandarin, parking garage off Butler Blvd, shoulder of I-295. No tow, no shop visit.
Call or text (904) 902-4771 with the model and year and we'll quote the job on the phone before anyone drives anywhere. Most calls inside Jacksonville get a locksmith to the car in roughly 30 to 60 minutes, though I-95 traffic can stretch that.
What Dodge keys are like
Dodge has been through three key generations, and it helps to know which one you're holding. Older models, think early Durangos, use a normal-looking metal key with a chip hidden in the plastic head. Without that chip the engine won't start, even with a perfectly cut blade.
From about 2008 to 2020 the Fobik took over. That's the chunky rectangular fob you push into a slot on the dash instead of turning a metal key. Chargers, Challengers, Grand Caravans and Journeys from those years almost all use one.
Newer Dodges run smart proximity fobs with push-button start. The fob stays in your pocket and the car finds it. All three types have to be programmed to your specific vehicle, and that's the part we handle.
What we do at your car
Everything happens on-site. The business has run fully mobile for the last four years, so the van carries blank fobs and cutting gear for most Dodge models sold in the US.
We cut the emergency blade and plug the programmer into the OBD port under your dash. From there the new key gets married to your Dodge on the spot.
You test it before we leave, locks and a fresh engine start included. Cutting a spare? We make sure your original still works too.
Spare key vs. all keys lost
A spare is cheap insurance. If you still have one working key, a cut-and-programmed duplicate for most Dodges starts at $150, and programming a replacement fob or remote starts at the same number.
Lost every copy? That's a bigger job because we originate a key from nothing, so it starts at $195. Before we cut, we'll ask for your ID and proof of ownership, registration or title. That step protects you. Nobody should be able to point at your Challenger in a Town Center lot and have a key made for it.
Final price depends on the exact year and key hardware, and we confirm it on the phone before rolling out. No hidden fees. Text us the year and model and we'll work up your number.
When the dealer makes sense
We're honest about this. A handful of the very newest, most locked-down models can be dealer-only, and if your Dodge lands in that bucket we'll say so on the phone instead of wasting your afternoon.
For most Dodges on Jacksonville roads, though, mobile wins. The dealer route usually means towing the car to the lot and waiting on an ordered key. We drive to you instead, often the same day, and the tow bill never exists.
Not sure which camp your model falls in? Call or text (904) 902-4771, daily 8 AM to 8 PM, and you'll get a straight answer.

Common questions
How long does it take to program a Dodge key?
Most Dodge fobs take us 15 to 30 minutes once we're at the car, on top of the drive out. Fobiks and smart proxes program through the OBD port, and older chip keys often go quicker. All-keys-lost jobs run longer because we build the key first.
Can you program a used Dodge fob I bought online?
Usually not, and that's a Dodge quirk rather than us being difficult. Most Fobiks and smart fobs in the Chrysler family lock themselves to the first vehicle they're programmed to, so a secondhand one off eBay typically won't take. Text us the part number before you buy and we'll tell you if it has a shot. The fobs we bring are new and priced into your quote.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the Dodge dealer?
Usually, once you count the tow. A dealer generally needs the car brought to the lot and may have to order your key, while we cut and program at your location. Our Dodge spares start at $150 and all-keys-lost work at $195, with the exact number confirmed on the phone. For a few of the newest locked-down models the dealer really is the only option, and we'll tell you that upfront.
I lost every key to my Dodge. Can you still make one?
Yes, that's the all-keys-lost job, starting at $195. We originate a new key right at the car, so no towing is involved. Have your ID and your registration or title ready, since we verify ownership before cutting. That check is there so nobody can order a key to your car behind your back.
