What Affects Your Final Cost

• Vehicle make, model, and year: Luxury and newer vehicles use encrypted smart systems that require advanced programming.
• Key type: Mechanical, chip, remote-head, and proximity keys each have different hardware and programming labor.
• Availability of working key: Duplicates cost less than a full “all keys lost” situation, which requires immobilizer reset.
• Time and location: After-hours, weekends, or remote areas may include an emergency or travel fee.
• OEM vs. aftermarket parts: OEM fobs cost more but may include better range and longer battery life; both options are offered with warranty.
