Car key and transponder key programming in Snoqualmie
Most cars since the late 1990s have a chip in the key that talks to the immobilizer. If the car cranks but won’t start, shows a key or security light, or a new key won’t start it, the key likely needs programming. We bring the programming equipment to your car.
What we program
- Transponder (chip) keys
- Remote head keys and remotes
- Smart keys and push-to-start fobs
- New keys after an all-keys-lost job, with lost keys removed from the car’s memory where the vehicle allows
Signs a key needs programming
- The engine cranks but won’t start
- A key, lock or security light stays on or flashes on the dash
- A new or used key fits but won’t start the car
- One key works and the other doesn’t
Questions about car key programming
Can AutoZone or a hardware store program my key?
Some stores can copy basic keys and some chip keys if you bring a working key. If you have no working key, or need a smart key or fob programmed to the car, you need an automotive locksmith or the dealer.
How long does key programming take?
It depends on the vehicle and key type. Many are done in one visit at the car. We’ll give you a better idea once we know the year, make and model.
