Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a chip key cost more than a regular key?
A chip key requires a transponder chip inside the head that must be paired to your vehicle’s immobilizer system. This needs specialized programming equipment.
Can a hardware store copy a chip key?
They can copy the cut, but not the chip. The copied key will turn in the lock but the car won’t start. You need a locksmith with a transponder programmer.
How much does chip key replacement cost in Denton?
$130–$250 for most vehicles, still much cheaper than a dealership.
