What Affects the Cost of a Car Key?

The key type matters most. A plain metal key is simple; a transponder key needs programming; a push-to-start fob needs the most work. Whether you still have a working key changes the job too. Call (240) 763-3127 with the make, model and year for an estimate.

The five things that set the price

Make, model and year of the car
Key type: metal, transponder, remote head or push-to-start
Whether you have one working key or none
How many keys you want made
Whether the car needs dealer authorization to program

Why a spare made now costs less trouble later

Copying a working key is a simpler job than making a key from nothing. If you are down to one, make the spare before the last one goes missing.

Dealer or locksmith?

A dealer usually needs the car on its lot, which can mean a tow and a wait for an appointment. We cut and program at the car. Some newer models need dealer authorization, and we tell you on the call if yours does.

Questions people ask

Can you give a price online?

No, because it depends on the vehicle and key. Call with the make, model and year and you hear the estimate on the call.

Is an online fob a good idea?

Sometimes. Many are the wrong frequency or already locked to another car. Ask us before you buy.
