Frequently Asked Questions — Car Key Making in Santa Clara
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. Our Santa Clara mobile locksmiths can create a new car key using your vehicle\’s VIN number, even if you\’ve lost all copies. We verify ownership before cutting.
How much does car key making cost in Santa Clara?
Basic metal car keys start around $50-$75. Transponder keys range from $100-$200. Smart keys and fobs can run $150-$350 depending on the vehicle. Call (833) 310-6128 for an exact quote for your make and model.
