Typical Jobs And What Affects Cost
We do not publish fixed prices because every vehicle and situation is different. Typical factors that affect cost include:
- Vehicle make, model and year (some late‑model smart keys require manufacturer‑level access or additional parts)
- Type of key required (basic blade, transponder chip, remote fob, proximity/smart key, laser cut)
- Whether the job requires programming to the immobiliser/ECU (OBD2 or EEPROM)
- Time of day and whether the job is an emergency outside standard hours
- If parts are required and whether they are genuine OEM or high‑quality aftermarket
