If your exact Buick isn’t shown, don’t worry — if it’s on the road, there’s an excellent chance we can cut and program a working key for it on-site in Round Rock.
Types of Buick Keys & Fobs Available
Different Buick years use different key systems. We offer a full range of compatible options:
- Transponder keys: A metal blade with an electronic security chip — required for engine start.
- Remote-head keys: Mechanical key + built-in lock/unlock buttons.
- Flip keys: Folding blade with remote functions.
- Proximity smart keys: Push-to-start / keyless entry when the fob is nearby.
OEM and premium aftermarket options are available. We will help you select the most cost-effective and durable solution for your Buick model.
How the Replacement Process Works
Our process is simple, fast, and fully mobile — no towing to a dealership required:
- Tell us what you need: Lost keys, broken fob, spare key, ignition won’t turn, etc.
- Dispatch to your location: We come to you anywhere in Round Rock or nearby areas.
- Cut & decode: We cut a perfect key blade based on VIN code or lock decoding.
- Programming: We pair the new key or fob to the vehicle using professional diagnostic tools.
- Final testing: Confirm door locks, trunk function, alarm, remote start (if included), and smooth engine start.
You approve a firm price before the work begins — no surprises when the job is complete.
Lost All Keys vs. Spare Key Solutions
All keys lost: We create a working key from scratch, even if no original exists. We can also remove lost or stolen keys from the vehicle’s memory for added security.
Duplicate spare: Saving money is easy if you still have one working key. Programming is quicker and more affordable with fewer security steps.
Recommendation: Always keep a spare. A duplicate costs less — and prevents emergency lockouts later.

Common Buick Key & Ignition Problems
- Key turns but engine doesn’t start: Chip communication failure with the immobilizer.
- “Key Not Detected” warnings on push-to-start models — weak fob battery or pairing issue.
- Key stuck in ignition: Cylinder wear or column lock issues — we repair or replace on-site.
- Remote buttons stopped working: Key may need re-syncing after battery replacement.
- Broken flip key hinge: We transfer electronics into new housings and cut a fresh blade.
- Lockout emergencies: We unlock vehicle doors without harming seals or locks.
- BCM programming failure: We handle relearn procedures to restore key-to-car communication.
We diagnose before we fix — ensuring your job is done right the first time.
Immobilizer, BCM & Smart Key Security
Buick vehicles rely on secure communication with the immobilizer or Body Control Module (BCM) before the engine will crank. When keys are replaced, we always:
- Pair new keys or fobs to the BCM
- Remove lost or stolen keys when supported
- Verify alarm, remote functions, and push-to-start response
- Perform initialization steps for advanced models
You stay protected from unauthorized access, even after replacing keys.
