Regular car key cutting is the process of creating a new key for your vehicle by duplicating an existing key or creating a new one from the vehicle’s key code.
- Traditional Metal Keys: Generally cost between $2 and $10.
- Transponder Keys: Can range from $20 to $100, including programming.
- Laser-Cut Keys: Typically cost between $50 and $150 due to the need for specialized equipment.
- Key Fobs and Remote Keys: Can range from $50 to $300, depending on the complexity and the need for programming.
- Dealerships: Provide key cutting services, especially for New OEM keys. This option ensures high compatibility and quality but can be more expensive.
- Professional Locksmiths: Offer key cutting for a wide range of key types, including aftermarket options. Locksmiths are often more affordable and can provide on-site services.
- Hardware Stores and Key Kiosks: Can cut traditional metal keys and some basic transponder keys. This option is usually the most cost-effective but may have limitations in terms of key types they can handle.
We highly recommend seeking the assistance of a professional automotive locksmith rather than a dealership. Automotive locksmiths are trained and equipped to handle a wide range of vehicle key and remote programming needs, and they typically offer more competitive pricing than dealerships. The cost of their services is based on their local market and the expensive equipment used for key cutting and vehicle programming.
To find a reputable automotive locksmith in your area, use online resources such as www.autolocksmithfinder.com or your local yellow pages.
