HomeBlogCar Key Programming: Dealership vs. Locksmith

If you’ve gotten a new key fob and you need to have it programmed to work with your vehicle, you may have been planning to go to the dealership. What you might not know, however, is that going to the dealership for car key programming may not be the best way to achieve your goal.

Car Key Programming: Dealership vs. Locksmith

  • Dealership- When you go to the dealership for car key programming, you may feel confident that you’re going to have your key fobs working well. What you may not know is that you are also going to pay a hefty price for this service. They will definitely be able to get your new key fobs working properly, but especially if you have to get more than one key fob programmed, you will have to pay a lot of money for this service at the dealership.
  • Locksmith- When you go to the local locksmith for car key programming, you’ll find that they have the same service available as the dealership but at a much more affordable price. Using a specialized machine, your key fobs will be programmed accurately to work with your vehicle, so you can get right back out on the road. You’ll also be able to discuss any other key-related questions you have about your vehicle, home, or business with your local locksmith.
