Subaru Key and Fob FAQ
Can you make a Subaru key if I lost all of my originals?
Yes, in many cases we can create a working key for your Subaru even when you have no keys at all. We use your vehicle identification number (VIN) and specialized tools to cut and program a new key or smart fob. You will need proof of ownership before we begin.
Do I have to tow my Subaru to a dealer for a push-to-start key?
Often you do not. For many Subaru push-to-start systems, we can come to your location and program a new smart key or fob on site. Call with your model and year so we can confirm service for your vehicle.
Can you unlock my Subaru without damaging the door or weatherstripping?
Our goal is always to open your Subaru without damage. We use professional lockout tools designed for automotive use. Once the car is open, we can also make spare keys so you are less likely to face another lockout.
My Subaru key turns but the car will not start. Is that a key problem?
It could be a transponder or immobilizer issue, a worn key, or an ignition or starter problem. We can test the key, cut a fresh copy if needed, and inspect the ignition cylinder. If it is not a key or lock issue, we will explain what we find so you can decide your next step.
