Chevy car key replacement in Austin, TX — cut, programmed and tested on-site

Most Chevrolet keys we make in Austin run between $139 and $319 depending on whether you need a basic transponder key, a remote head key or a push-to-start proximity smart key. You get a firm, all-in price on the phone before a technician is dispatched — no surprise fees on arrival.

Yes. All-keys-lost origination is routine work for us. After we verify you own the vehicle with photo ID plus registration, title or insurance, we decode the key from the VIN, cut it in the van and program it to your Chevrolet's immobiliser on-site.

No. We are a fully mobile Austin auto locksmith — the key machine, programming tools and blanks travel with the technician. We come to your driveway, office garage, H-E-B parking lot or roadside anywhere in Austin, TX, usually within 15–30 minutes.

Yes, on request we wipe every previously programmed key from the vehicle's memory so a lost or stolen Chevrolet key cannot start your car again. This is included at no extra charge with any all-keys-lost job.

Yes, when remote start is already equipped and enabled on the vehicle. We match the transmitter and button layout to the VIN, program it, and test remote start along with lock, unlock, panic and tailgate functions before handover.

Have the year, model, trim and VIN ready, plus whether any working key remains. At the appointment we also check photo ID and registration, title or insurance before cutting or programming a key.

GM's 10-minute relearn only re-registers keys the vehicle already accepts, and on many models it needs at least one working key. A new key still has to be cut to the code and registered with diagnostic equipment, which is what we do on-site.

On older Chevrolets a wrong VATS resistance value lets the key turn without cranking. On newer models a security-light flash usually means the immobiliser rejected the key. Both are diagnosed at the vehicle before any key is sold.

On most Chevrolet models the fob is registered through the OBD port with diagnostic equipment, and on many years a timed security relearn cycle has to complete before the vehicle accepts it. Some older remote-only fobs can be re-synced from the driver's seat, which we will tell you about rather than charge for.

Chevrolet key and fob work with us starts at $139 and runs to about $319 depending on whether it is a transponder blade, a flip remote or a proximity fob, and whether any working key remains. The total is confirmed from the VIN before a van is dispatched.

Often yes, but the transmitter specification and button layout must match what the vehicle already has — a remote-start truck needs a remote-start fob. Send us the part number before you buy so you do not end up with a fob the car will not accept.

It depends on the year and trim. Older Silverados use a bladed transponder key, many mid-generation trucks use a flip or remote head key, and newer higher trims use a push-to-start proximity fob. Remote-start trucks need a fob with the matching remote-start button. Send us the VIN and we will confirm the exact key before we come out.

Yes. When no working Equinox key is left, we check ownership, cut a key from the VIN where needed and program it to the car at your location. It takes longer than adding a spare, so we give you the total before we send a van.
