Prices vary by exact model, year, and whether you have a working spare. Mileage adjustments apply outside Auburn — quoted upfront. Call (253) 796-8550 for an exact quote on your specific Ram.
Step 1: Call us with your VIN. Year, make, and model help, but the VIN tells us exactly what key technology your specific Ram uses and whether we can handle it on-site. We verify upfront so you don't waste a service call.
Step 2: Flat-rate quote. Based on your VIN and key situation, we quote a flat-rate price over the phone. The number you hear is the number you pay.
Step 3: Mobile service to your location. We come to wherever your Ram is parked — your driveway, work parking lot, the side of the road. No towing required.
Step 4: ID verification. We verify proof of ownership (registration, title, or insurance + photo ID). This is required for everyone — it's how we protect your vehicle from theft via fake locksmith calls.
Step 5: Cut and program the key. Most Ram keys take 20-60 minutes. All-keys-lost programming can take longer due to security timer delays built into the vehicle.
Step 6: Test and go. We confirm everything works — door locks, ignition/start, remote functions if applicable — then you drive away with a fully working key.

Older Dodge Ram (pre-2010) we also handle. Some 2023+ Ram TRX or Limited configurations may require VIN verification.

FOBIK stands for 'Fob-Integrated Key' — the slot-style key fob used on most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models from 2007-current. You insert the fob into a slot in the dash rather than turning a key. We program these on-site for most applicable Ram models.
Yes — for most Ram models we can program all-keys-lost replacements on-site via the OBD-II port. Most Ram trucks have 10-30 minute security timer delays for all-keys-lost programming, which is normal.
Older Ram transponder keys: 20-30 minutes. Ram FOBIK keys: 30-60 minutes. Ram smart proximity keys: 30-60 minutes. All-keys-lost: 45-90 minutes.
