Lost Car Keys or Need a Spare? Start Here
The first question is whether any working key remains. Making a spare from a working key is different from replacing every key after a loss, and the price and programming steps can change substantially.
If one key still works
Keep it available and avoid waiting for it to fail. The key can help identify the blade and electronics, and some vehicles allow a simpler process for adding another authorized key.
If every key is missing
Provide the make, model, year, location and VIN when requested. Proof of ownership or authorized access is required. The job may include entry, blade cutting, transponder programming or smart fob pairing.
If theft is possible
Say so before programming begins. Some vehicles allow missing electronic keys to be removed from the authorized list. The effect on mechanical door access varies, so ask what the procedure changes for that model.
Check compatibility before buying a key
A visually identical remote may use a different part number or frequency. Used fobs may not be reusable. Confirm the exact part and programming path before ordering.
