Hyundai Key Replacement & Programming
Transponder-era and newer Hyundais keyed and programmed — with straight answers on the older exceptions. At your vehicle, anywhere in the Truckee–Tahoe area.
Hyundai's lineup spans a wide security range — and notably, many pre-2022 US-market Hyundais shipped without immobilizers (the root of the well-publicized theft wave), while newer models carry full transponder and smart-key systems. Each year and model gets its own honest answer.
What we do for Hyundai owners
We make and program Hyundai keys and fobs at the vehicle for most models, handle lockouts damage-free, and can advise on aftermarket security for the non-immobilizer years — a real concern for owners.

Can a locksmith make a replacement key for my Hyundai?
Yes for most models — and for the specific years that need different handling, we'll tell you straight on the phone. Year and model gets you a free, accurate estimate.
Do I have to tow my Hyundai to a dealer?
Usually not — we come to the vehicle and handle cutting and programming on-site for most Hyundai models. For the few exceptions, we tell you on the phone before you spend anything.
What does a Hyundai 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.
