Pick your make and model: the answer takes ten seconds.

Why the gap is real: a dealership orders the key against your VIN, asks you to tow the car in, and bills franchise labor on top of the part. A mobile locksmith carries the cutting machine and the programmer in the van, so the same factory-grade pairing happens in your driveway the same day.

The numbers here are honest bounds, not teasers: dealer figures reflect typical franchise quotes for a replacement key with programming, and our from-$189 is the real floor from the published rate card. Push-to-start smart fobs cost more than basic chip keys at both doors; the difference is who drives to whom.
