American Car Keys
Ford key replacement & programming
Ford uses PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) transponder keys on most models and 4-button or 5-button smart proximity fobs on newer trucks and SUVs. We handle all-keys-lost programming, spare keys, and remote start fobs.
Ford models we cover
Every Ford below can be handled on site — spare keys, all-keys-lost, broken key extraction, remotes and ignition work. If your model is not on the list, call us; the list is a sample, not a limit.
What a Ford key job involves
We identify the exact key type your Ford uses from the VIN and year, cut the blade to the factory code, then pair the transponder or smart fob to the vehicle's immobilizer. Once programmed we test everything — engine start, remote lock and unlock, trunk release and panic — before we leave. Older keys can be erased from the system at the same time, so a lost key can never start your car again.
Ford F-150 and Super Duty trucks from 2015 and up commonly need a fresh smart fob paired with an onboard security procedure — we carry OEM-quality fobs in the van so there is no waiting on parts.
Ford key questions we hear every day
Can you make a Ford key if I lost all of them?
Yes. All-keys-lost is routine for us. We need the vehicle, your photo ID and proof of ownership, and we generate a brand-new key from scratch at your location.
Is it cheaper than the Ford dealer?
Almost always — and there is no towing bill, since we come to the car. You get the price before we touch anything.
How long does it take?
Most Ford jobs are finished in 20 to 45 minutes on site. Some model years need a security wait cycle, which we will tell you about up front.
Do you come to me?
Yes — driveway, street parking, garage, office lot or roadside, anywhere in Queens, The Five Towns, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island.
