Step 1: Identify Your Key Type

The first step in replacing a lost or broken

car key⁠

is determining the type of key your vehicle uses. This is important because the method of replacement will vary depending on the type. Here are the most common types:

Traditional Metal Key: These are basic keys usually used in older cars. They don’t have electronic components and can easily be duplicated with standard cutting machines.

Transponder Key: These modern keys come with a chip embedded in them that communicates with the car’s ignition system. The vehicle will not start unless the chip is correctly programmed.

Smart Key (Key Fob): Many new vehicles use keyless entry systems that rely on smart keys or key fobs. These keys allow you to unlock and start your vehicle with just the press of a button, but they require specialized programming when replaced.

Switchblade Key: A combination of traditional and smart keys, these keys fold into a fob and unfold when needed. They have both manual and electronic functions, making them slightly more complex to replace.

Identifying your key type is crucial for ensuring a smooth replacement process. If you’re unsure about the type of key your vehicle uses, don’t worry. our experts can help identify it and walk you through the process.

Step 2: Check for a Spare Key

Before proceeding with a replacement, take a moment to check if you have a spare key on hand. Many cars come with two keys when purchased, and this could save you time and money if you find the spare. If the spare key is missing or damaged as well, then it's time to reach out to a professional.
