Prices vary by exact model, year, and whether you have a working spare. Mileage adjustments apply outside Auburn — quoted upfront. Call (253) 796-8550 for an exact quote on your specific Hyundai.
Step 1: Call us with your VIN. Year, make, and model help, but the VIN tells us exactly what key technology your specific Hyundai uses and whether we can handle it on-site. We verify upfront so you don't waste a service call.
Step 2: Flat-rate quote. Based on your VIN and key situation, we quote a flat-rate price over the phone. The number you hear is the number you pay.
Step 3: Mobile service to your location. We come to wherever your Hyundai is parked — your driveway, work parking lot, the side of the road. No towing required.
Step 4: ID verification. We verify proof of ownership (registration, title, or insurance + photo ID). This is required for everyone — it's how we protect your vehicle from theft via fake locksmith calls.
Step 5: Cut and program the key. Most Hyundai keys take 20-60 minutes. All-keys-lost programming can take longer due to security timer delays built into the vehicle.
Step 6: Test and go. We confirm everything works — door locks, ignition/start, remote functions if applicable — then you drive away with a fully working key.
Yes — for the vast majority of Hyundai models from 2001 to current. We carry blanks, transponders, remote heads, and smart proximity keys for Elantra, Sonata, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, Kona, Venue, Accent, Ioniq, Veloster, and most Genesis models. Some 2022+ Genesis luxury configurations may require dealer programming — we verify via VIN.
Standard Hyundai transponder keys: $125-$225. Remote head keys: $165-$285. Smart proximity keys for push-to-start Hyundais: $265-$465. Pricing depends on your specific year/model. All quotes flat-rate upfront.
If your Hyundai or Kia is a 2011-2021 model without push-to-start (used a turn-key ignition with no immobilizer chip), yes — these were the focus of the well-publicized theft trend. Hyundai has released free software updates and steering wheel locks for affected vehicles. We can install aftermarket immobilizers if your model is eligible. Call us with your VIN.
Yes — for most Hyundai models we can program all-keys-lost replacements on-site. Some newer Hyundai/Genesis models have built-in security timer delays. We verify via VIN.
Standard Hyundai transponder keys: 20-30 minutes. Hyundai smart proximity keys: 30-60 minutes. All-keys-lost programming: 45-90 minutes due to security timer.
Yes — Genesis luxury models (G70, G80, G90, GV70, GV80) use Hyundai's underlying key technology with brand-specific blanks. We handle most on-site. Some 2022+ luxury configurations require VIN verification first.
