Car key and fob replacement in Seattle
Lost your car key or need a new fob? We replace car keys and fobs at the car, including key cutting and programming where the vehicle supports it.
Cut and programmed at the car
Types of car keys
- Blade key: a cut metal key with no chip, common on older vehicles.
- Transponder key: a cut key with a chip inside; the car will not start until the chip is programmed to it.
- Remote key or key fob: locks and unlocks the doors with buttons; most also carry a transponder chip.
- Proximity (smart) key: stays in your pocket or bag; the car detects it to unlock and start.
Tell us which one you have when you call. Transponder, remote and smart keys need programming as well as cutting, and we do both where the vehicle supports it.
Have these details ready
The make, model and year of the vehicle, and the VIN if you can find it: it is usually on the dashboard by the windshield or on the driver’s door frame.
Keys locked inside?
If the key is in the car and you can’t get to it, you need a car lockout instead.
