Car key replacement is cutting and programming a new key or fob to your vehicle when the old one is lost, broken or has stopped working. Apex Locksmith Pros does it on-site in McKinney and nearby cities in Collin, Denton and Dallas counties, usually the same day, from $229+ for a standard transponder key. If you lost all your car keys and have no spare, the tech makes a new key from your VIN and on-site decoding and programs it to the car where it sits, so no tow and no original key are needed. A licensed mobile tech arrives with blanks and programming gear, cuts the key, pairs it with the immobilizer, and tests the doors and ignition before you pay. Remote head keys, flip keys, laser-cut keys and push-to-start fobs are covered for most makes, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet and Nissan. You hear the full price on the call, before anyone is dispatched.

“Amazing service, best locksmith in Texas, made key for my bmw within 20 min definitely recommend”
“Hour was great. Very thorough and took his time to make sure my new key was perfect. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“I had an excellent experience with Apex Locksmith Pros. I needed two new smart keys for my Honda CR-V, and the technician handled everything quickly and professionally. Both keys were cut and programmed on-site, worked perfectly, and the entire process was much faster and more affordable than going to the dealership. The technician arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and used professional equipment to ensure both key fobs worked flawlessly before leaving. The service was honest, efficient, and stress-free.”(excerpt)

“I recently lost my keys to my Lincoln Navigator and was locked out in a tough spot. I called Apex Locksmith Pros and they were fantastic from start to finish. They responded incredibly fast, arrived within 30 minutes of my call. The technician was professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He had my Navigator unlocked safely and efficiently without causing any damage to the vehicle. If you’re ever locked out of your car, these are the guys to call. Quick, reliable, and reasonably priced. Apex Locksmith Pros absolutely saved the day for me, highly recommend! Thank you again!”
“I was locked out, and they arrived much faster than I expected. The locksmith was courteous, skilled, and got me back inside without damaging the lock. Thank you for the excellent service!”
“We used Apex Locksmith Pros to replace a commercial lock and a push paddle latch at our business. They did an incredible job-super professional, efficient, and everything works perfectly now. Really happy with the quality of the work!”
“I accidentally washed my Hyundai key fob and got an outrageous estimate from the dealer. Called Apex, and they were very helpful. Apex told me where to get new keys for just $35 each (I ordered two since I had previously lost my spare); and then programmed both keys in under five minutes! It was an amazing experience and a drastically better deal than the dealership. Highly recommend!”

What Do Customers Ask About Car Key Replacement?
Straight answers about car key replacement in McKinney and nearby cities: what it costs, what to have ready, how the visit works and when we can come out.
Call a mobile locksmith instead of towing the car to a dealer. We make a new key from your VIN and program it to the car where it's parked, usually the same day, and you don't need the original. Have your ID and proof you own the vehicle ready for the tech.
A standard transponder key starts from $229+, cut and programmed on-site. Smart and proximity keys cost more depending on the vehicle, and you get the flat total on the phone before dispatch, with no call-out fee.
Pricing starts from $229+ for a standard transponder key cut and programmed on-site. If you still have a working key, ask about a duplicate instead, which is often the cheaper job.
Yes. We program proximity/smart keys and remote fobs for most makes, right at your location.
Usually. There is no tow and no wait for a dealer appointment, the tech comes to you, and the flat total is set before dispatch.
Yes. Remote-head keys, flip keys, push-to-start proximity fobs: we carry the blanks, program the electronics to your car, and cut the emergency blade hidden inside. If the old fob is just worn out, sometimes a reshell or battery is the honest fix, and we will tell you so.
