Which service are you pricing?
- Turn-key ignition
- You turn a key to start the vehicle. The key may contain an electronic chip, so a cut blade alone may not be a complete starting key. About transponder keys.
- Push-to-start
- You press a start button while a compatible smart key is present. The exact replacement must match the vehicle's model year and security system. About smart keys.
- Car lockout
- Your usable key is locked inside the vehicle. Unlocking the vehicle is different from replacing a missing key. About lockout service.
- Spare key or all keys lost
- Tell us whether any key still starts the vehicle. A spare-key appointment and an all-keys-lost job need different planning; neither has a separate fixed price published here. Arrange a spare or replace a lost key.

Questions about your quote
What is included in the starting price?
The published amounts are starting prices for service categories, not a fixed package for every vehicle. Ask your quote to specify the supplied key or fob, blade cutting, programming, and mobile visit. Confirm the full total before authorizing work.
Are travel and after-hours charges included?
Call with the exact vehicle location and requested time to confirm whether travel or after-hours charges apply. The starting prices alone do not establish the total for your visit.
Is $175 the price for programming a key I already own?
The $175 starting price describes key service for most domestic turn-key vehicles. It is not a published programming-only price. If you already have a key, give us its part information and your vehicle details so we can check compatibility and quote the work required.
How much are Toyota, Honda, BMW, and other imported keys?
Imported vehicles need a vehicle-specific quote. The domestic turn-key and push-to-start starting prices do not apply to imported makes. Call with the year, model, key type, and whether any working keys remain.
