Why Having a Spare Key Matters
Most people never think about a spare key until it’s too late. But having a second (or even third) copy offers serious benefits.
Save Time in Emergencies
Lost your key at the store, gym, or park? With a spare, you don’t have to wait hours for help — just call a friend or grab your backup.
Avoid Expensive Emergency Services
A spare key is always cheaper than calling for:
- Emergency lockout service
- Same-day key cutting and programming
- Towing to a dealership
Reduce Downtime for Your Vehicle
If your only key is lost, your car is out of commission. A spare gets you moving again instantly — no lost workdays or missed appointments.
Convenience for Families and Employees
Spare keys are great for:
- Shared vehicles
- Teen drivers
- Employees using work vans or trucks
- Households with multiple drivers
When Is the Best Time to Get a Spare Key?
The best time to get a duplicate key is before you need one — especially if:
- You only have one working key
- Your original is showing signs of wear
- You’ve recently bought a used vehicle
- Your car uses a transponder, fob, or smart key
Types of Spare Car Keys We Make
We can duplicate most car keys, including:
- Basic metal keys
- Transponder keys (chipped)
- High-security laser-cut keys
- Remote key fobs
- Smart keys for push-to-start vehicles
We also offer programming for duplicate fobs and smart remotes, so your spare works exactly like your original.
How Much Does a Spare Key Cost?
Prices vary based on key type:
- Basic key: $20 – $50
- Transponder key: $80 – $150
- Smart key or fob: $120 – $250
- Luxury vehicle keys: May be higher depending on model
We’re still significantly more affordable than the dealership — and we come to you.
Can You Make a Spare Without the Original?
Yes, in most cases. If you’ve lost your only key, we can still:
- Decode your locks
- Access manufacturer key codes (with proof of ownership)
- Cut and program a new working key on-site
However, this costs more than making a spare while you still have your main key — so don’t wait until it’s too late.
