Chevrolet Key and Fob FAQ

Can you replace my Chevrolet key if I lost all of them?

Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key or fob even when all keys are lost. We come to your vehicle, verify ownership, and do the work on-site.

Do I need to tow my Chevy to a dealer for a new key or fob?

Usually no. We are a mobile automotive locksmith service. We handle cutting and programming keys and fobs for many Chevrolet models at your location, so towing is often not necessary.

Can you program a Chevy key fob I bought online?

Sometimes. It depends on the part, its compatibility with your exact model, and whether it is new or previously programmed. Call with your vehicle details and we will let you know your options.

What if my Chevrolet ignition will not turn?

This can be a worn key, a worn ignition cylinder, or another issue. We can come out, test your key and ignition, and either repair or replace the ignition lock when possible.

How long does Chevrolet key replacement usually take?

The visit length varies by vehicle and key type. Many jobs, such as single key or fob replacement, are completed in one visit at your vehicle once we arrive and confirm the work.
