Whenever someone asks me what I do for a living, and I tell them, “I sell car key fobs,” I always get the same reaction: a blank stare, followed by a slightly confused, “Wait, you sell what?” It’s not exactly the kind of job people grow up dreaming about, but once I explain what we do and how much we save people, the confusion turns into surprise—and usually, “Wow, I wish I knew about this sooner!”
Why Key Fobs?
It all started when I realized how unnecessarily expensive it was to replace a car key fob. If you’ve ever lost yours or needed a spare, you know what I’m talking about. You walk into the dealership, and they tell you it’ll cost hundreds of dollars to get a new one. Most people just accept it as a necessary evil—what choice do they have, right?
That’s when I saw an opportunity. I knew there had to be a better way to provide the same high-quality key fobs without the outrageous markup. And so, Keyless Entry Remote Inc. was born.
The Story I Tell
When I explain how my business works, people are usually fascinated. I tell them:
- We sell OEM car key fobs—the exact same ones dealerships offer—but at an average discount of 50%.
- We make it easy for the consumer. Many of our key fobs come with simple programming instructions, so customers can often program them at home without needing a trip to the dealership.
- We focus on sustainability. By recycling and remanufacturing used key fobs, we’re helping to reduce waste while still delivering a high-quality product.
What surprises people most is the savings. For the price of one dealership replacement, many of our customers can buy two or three key fobs from us. That’s a game-changer for families who need spares or businesses that manage fleets of vehicles.
Turning Confusion into Curiosity
After I finish my story, the confused looks usually turn into, “Wait, how do you even do that?” or “I had no idea you could even buy key fobs outside of a dealership!” It’s a conversation starter and a chance to share why we’re so passionate about what we do.
Helping People Save Time, Money, and Stress
At the heart of it, our mission is simple: to save people time, money, and stress. Whether you’re dealing with a lost key fob, a broken one, or just want a spare, we make the process easy, affordable, and reliable.
So, the next time you hear someone grumble about their dealership quoting them $300 for a new fob, send them my way. It might not be the most glamorous job in the world, but when I get to save people hundreds of dollars and hear, “Wow, I wish I knew about this sooner,” I know I’m doing something right.
