Monet Ford I Picked up my remote FOB for the Explorer on Friday from the Parts Department at Monet Ford in Socorro. The parts guy told me to see the service manager to get it programed. The service guy tells me, you’ll have to pay me $68 to program it. I said “you’re not serious, how complicated could it be”. He says it’ll take “30 to 45 minutes and I have to use the computer”. I said forget it and I leave. Socorro New Mexico

I Picked up my remote FOB for the Explorer on Friday from the Parts Department at Monet Ford in Socorro.  The parts guy told me to see the service manager to get it programed.   The service guy tells me, you’ll have to pay me $68 to program it.   I said “you’re not serious, how complicated could it be”.  He says it’ll take “30 to 45 minutes and I have to use the computer”.    I said forget it and I leave.

At home in Albuquerque, I pull this up on the internet.   Now I ask you, is this not crooked or what??
