Kia & Hyundai Key Replacement
Losing your car keys is a challenging experience, especially if you have a key fob for a Hyundai or Kia. Getting a replacement from the dealership is expensive, but it seems necessary because you can’t get around without car keys. Whether it's a Hyundai key replacement or a Kia key replacement, our team here at R&T's can help you out.
If you lose your car keys and contact the dealership, they’ll have no problem programming a replacement fob for your vehicle. But they’ll charge you an average of $250 for the service. You’re already frustrated with yourself for losing the keys in the first place, so there’s no need to beat yourself up about breaking your budget, too.
Some people try to circumvent the dealership by buying blank keys online. They take the blank to a local locksmith to have it cut to fit their car door and transmission. However, not all uncut keys are legitimate, so you might waste money on something the locksmith can’t use.
R&T’s has you covered if you need a Kia or Hyundai key replacement. We have blank keys in stock and keep extra transponder key fobs for the most popular car makes and models. Also, since we can come to your location, you don’t have to worry about finding a ride to get a new car key.
What To Do if You Lose Your Key
You can’t avoid getting a key replacement if you lose your car key. The key fob is a rectangular device that wirelessly communicates with your car locks and transmission. Some fobs include a hidden key inside, so if the electronic portion stops working, you can still manually unlock your car with the metal key.
At R&T’s, we can program an electronic key fob and cut a physical key to meet your needs. This service means you can get a new key and fob if you feel your worn-out key isn’t working correctly. Worn keys will eventually stop unlocking your car doors, so you don’t want to get caught with a damaged key. Replace it before you get locked out.
What To Bring
If you’ve lost your keys, you can’t bring them to the locksmith for a replacement. Thankfully, you don’t need the original. There are certain things you need to have with you when you come to R&T’s, or have on hand when we arrive at your location to help you get into your vehicle.
Have the following information ready:
-
Car make
-
Car model
-
Year of your car
-
Car registration
-
Car title
It’s easy for you or our technician to determine your vehicle’s make, model, and year. The VIN is on the car for convenience, either on the dashboard or the driver’s door.
You must present the registration and title to prove that you own the vehicle. This step ensures that people can’t claim they need a replacement key for a car that isn’t theirs and steal the vehicle.
We can look up the car code with that information and create a replacement key or program a new key fob for your convenience.
How Long it Takes
It doesn’t take long to get a new key for your car. If you have the documents ready to present to the locksmith, they can immediately look up the key code. Since we have standard replacement keys and fobs available for many popular makes and models, we can usually have a new key in your hand within an hour.
