Q: Why does my transponder key need programming? Is this why my dealer charges so much?

A: Yes, your dealer is authorized by the car maker to program these keys (so are we, by the way). Prices are typically expensive to cut and program a transponder key; usually in the multiple hundred dollar range. Call our Renton locksmith shop and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much money you’ll save for the same service.

While your key might still open car doors and trunks without the embedded chip, it won’t be able to communicate with your car’s ignition, thus the car won’t start. You need a properly programmed chip for your transponder key and our automotive locksmiths can program and insert one for you. We offer same day service, 24-hour emergency assistance and free price quotes, so call us today for yours!
