Can you program a key fob on-site without going to the dealer?
Yes. Tristar Locksmith carries the programming equipment for most major vehicle makes and comes to your location. We program fobs, proximity keys, and smart keys on-site in Knox County and surrounding areas, no appointment or tow required.
Can you program an aftermarket fob I bought online?
In many cases, yes. Aftermarket fobs can often be programmed with the same equipment we use for OEM keys. Compatibility depends on your vehicle's system. Call with your vehicle year, make, and model and we will confirm before dispatching.
What if I've lost all my programmed keys?
Tristar Locksmith can clear your vehicle's key registry and program new keys from scratch even when you have no existing working keys. We verify ownership documentation first, then complete the full programming on-site.
