Ram Key Replacement & Programming
Work trucks can't wait — Ram transponder keys and fobs handled at the job site or driveway. At your vehicle, anywhere in the Truckee–Tahoe area.
Ram trucks share Stellantis key systems — transponders and remote fobs by generation — and they're working vehicles for half the contractors in Truckee. A lost truck key mid-job is money burning; we move fast on those.
What we do for Ram owners
All-keys-lost cuts from the vehicle, fob programming, damage-free lockout openings and ignition key extraction — wherever the truck is parked.

Can a locksmith make a replacement key for my Ram?
