Proximity keys keep a low-frequency handshake alive with the car so the doors unlock on touch and the start button works with the key still in your pocket.
What This Service Covers
Every push-to-start smart keys job starts the same way: we confirm the vehicle's year, make and model, check what key hardware it uses, and verify you are entitled to a key for it. From there the work is mechanical and electronic in roughly equal parts — cutting to the correct code, then teaching the vehicle to accept the new hardware.
- On-site diagnosis with no tow required in most cases
- OEM and high-grade aftermarket hardware options explained up front
- Full function test — locks, trunk release, panic and engine start
- Written invoice and a workmanship guarantee on parts we supply
When Drivers Call Us For This
Typical calls come from three situations: a sudden failure with no warning, a slow decline that finally became unworkable, or planning ahead after a close call. All three are worth a phone call — the third is the cheapest.
What It Costs
Price depends on the key type your vehicle uses, whether a working key still exists, and how the manufacturer gates its programming. Basic transponder work sits at the low end; proximity smart keys for late-model European vehicles sit at the high end. You get the number before we start, not after.
