Price by key type
| Key type | Typical cars | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Transponder key (metal key with a chip) | Many cars from about 2000–2015 | low end of $160–360 |
| Remote-head key or flip key | Many cars from about 2010 on | middle of the range |
| Smart key / push-to-start fob | Many cars from about 2015 on | top of the range, up to about $460 |
| The exact price depends on the year, make and model — tell us on the phone. We cover most domestic, Japanese and Korean makes and many European models; for a European car, give us the year, make and model so we can say on the call whether it's a job for us or for the dealer. |
Push-to-start, fobs and ignitions
Push-to-start smart keys and remote fobs are programmed at the car. A worn or jammed ignition can be repaired or replaced on site too — tell us whether the key won't go in, won't turn or turns without starting.
How long does it take?
Usually 30–60 minutes once we're at the car. Programming time depends on the model. Getting to you takes about 20 minutes anywhere in Sunrise — whether the car is in the Encompass Health rehabilitation hospital lot on Nob Hill Road (Encompass Health) during a family visit or outside your own house.
What we need
- Year, make and model (or the VIN — it's on the dashboard by the windshield)
- Your ID and the registration or title in your name
- For a spare: the working key, if you still have it — a spare is usually cheaper than an all-keys-lost job
Lost every key?
We can still make one. We cut it from the lock or the VIN code and program it to the car. Then the lost key no longer starts the car.
Common questions
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
Often, and there's no tow. Call the dealer and us and compare the full total.
Can you program a key I bought online?
Sometimes. Many online keys are the wrong chip or poor quality. Send us the listing before you buy.
Can a locksmith program a key fob?
Yes, for most cars we work on. A new remote or push-to-start fob is programmed to your car at the car, and, on models that allow it, the missing one gets erased from the car's list of keys. A fob you bought online can work if it's the right part — send us the listing first.
Where's the best place to get a car key made in Sunrise?
It depends on the key. A plain metal key with no chip can be copied at a store kiosk. A chipped key, a remote or a push-to-start fob needs programming: that's the dealer (usually with a tow if every key is lost) or a mobile locksmith who does it where the car sits.
Do you make spare keys for an older car with no chip?
Yes — that's the fastest and cheapest job.
