Car key replacement for every situation
- Lost car key — tell us the vehicle and we tell you what type of key it needs and what it costs.
- Spare car key — if you still have one working key, a spare is quicker and cheaper, and saves you from an emergency later.
- Key fob replacement — remote keys, flip keys, smart keys and push-to-start keys. See key fob programming.
- Transponder key programming — chip keys must be programmed to the car before they start the engine.
- Broken or worn key — broken blade, cracked shell or a key that no longer turns smoothly. We check whether the chip and remote can be reused.
- No working key at all — see all keys lost.
What the price depends on
Car keys start at $119. The exact price depends on:
- Vehicle year, make and model — some cars need special key cutting, transponder programming or smart key equipment.
- Key type — basic, remote, transponder and push-to-start keys are priced differently.
- Your key situation — a spare is simpler than making a new key from scratch.
- Your location in Palm Beach County and Broward County.
Send us the car's year, make and model and we give you a clear price before we send a technician. No obligation. For typical 2026 ranges, see our car key replacement cost guide.
