Why customers in Lincolnton call us for key fob

Lincolnton's dealer row is a short one — the two Abernethy stores sit directly across East Main Street from each other, covering Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and the Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram side. For any other brand it's Gastonia or across the lake. What Lincolnton has in quantity is manufacturing: American Woodmark with around 700 employees, Timken, Bosch, Cataler making automotive catalysts, LeeBoy building paving equipment. That's thousands of vehicles sitting in plant car parks through full shifts, which is precisely when a marginal fob decides it's finished. We come to the lot or the driveway and program the replacement there, from $120 for the brands we carry.

How we reach Lincolnton

Lincolnton is west around the top of the lake from our Cornelius base. The East Main corridor, the plant areas and Betty G. Ross Park are all routine stops for us. We run 24/7 with no shift-hours premium, which matters in a manufacturing town.

Common key fob calls near Lincolnton

Manufacturing plant employee car park
A worker finished a shift and found the fob had gone dead while the car sat. Both Abernethy stores long closed, no spare in the vehicle, and a drive home ahead.
Programmed a replacement fob in the employee lot at shift change, with no after-hours surcharge for the evening call. He drove himself home on it.
Betty G. Ross Park pool car park
A parent's fob went into the pool in a swim bag during a summer afternoon. Dried out that evening, worked for a few days, then stopped responding entirely.
Chlorinated water is unusually hard on fob electronics. Replaced rather than repaired, programmed at the vehicle in the park car park, and the damaged unit wiped from the car's memory.

Yes — we run 24/7 and there's no night, weekend or holiday premium, which is deliberate given how much of Lincolnton works shifts. Ring as you're finishing rather than after you reach the car, and we'll aim the arrival window at when you walk out.
