Audi shares VW-group security with an upscale wrapper — advanced immobilizers and smart keys throughout the modern lineup. Quattros are natural Tahoe cars; their replacement-key quotes from dealers can be eye-watering.

Can a locksmith make a replacement key for my Audi?
Often yes — many Audi keys can be programmed at the vehicle for well under dealer pricing, though some models are dealer-only. Year and model by phone gets you a straight answer.
Do I have to tow my Audi to a dealer?
Usually not — we come to the vehicle and handle cutting and programming on-site for most Audi models. For the few exceptions, we tell you on the phone before you spend anything.
What does a Audi spare key cost?
It varies by year and key type — remote fobs and proximity keys differ from basic transponder keys. Call with the year and model and you'll get a free phone estimate in minutes.
