Clear Help for Car Key Replacement
A replacement key must do the jobs the vehicle expects. That may include turning a mechanical cylinder, communicating with the immobilizer, operating remote buttons, and triggering passive entry or push-to-start. A low-cost shell is not the same product as a programmed smart key.
Ask whether the quote includes the key, cutting, programming, service call, and testing. If an existing module, ignition, antenna, or vehicle battery is faulty, that condition can change the diagnosis after the technician arrives.
