Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most common questions customers ask about Acura key replacement services. This FAQ aims to clarify key types, replacement procedures, and essential support resources such as roadside assistance and insurance policy coverage.
1. What types of Acura keys do you replace?
We service all types of Acura keys, including standard metal keys, Transponder keys, laser cut sidewinder keys, and proximity smart keys. Each requires a different method of cutting and programming depending on the model and year.
2. Can I get a replacement key without my original?
Yes. Even if all keys are lost, we can generate a new key using your Acura’s VIN. Proof of ownership is required, and our mobile team can complete the process on-site without towing your vehicle.
3. Does roadside assistance cover lost Acura keys?
Some roadside assistance plans do include key replacement or lockout support. However, it varies by provider. Check with your insurance company, auto club, or Acura’s factory roadside assistance plan to confirm your coverage.
4. Is a locksmith able to program Acura Transponder keys?
Yes. Our locksmiths are equipped with dealer-grade tools to program Acura Transponder keys to your immobilizer system. This includes both older chip keys and newer encrypted systems.
5. Can I use my insurance policy to pay for key replacement?
Many comprehensive auto insurance policies include lost key coverage or reimbursements. Be sure to call your provider in advance to check eligibility and required documentation for a claim.
6. Will the replacement key work with my trunk?
Yes. The mechanical part of your new key is cut to factory specifications, ensuring it will operate your trunk lock and all original lock cylinders unless your trunk lock was changed separately.
7. How long does it take to replace an Acura key?
Most Acura key replacements can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes once we arrive. Time may vary depending on the key type and programming complexity.
8. What should I do if my key broke in the ignition?
Don’t try to remove it yourself. Call our locksmith team, who can safely extract the broken part, decode the ignition, and provide a new working key, often without needing to replace the ignition cylinder.
9. Are smart keys different from regular keys?
Yes. Smart keys (also known as proximity keys) use radio frequency and encryption for push-to-start systems. They are not interchangeable with traditional Transponder or mechanical keys and require specialized programming tools.
10. What if I locked my keys in the trunk?
We offer emergency trunk unlocking services as part of our Acura roadside support. Whether the car is deadlocked or the keys are inside the trunk, we can retrieve them without damaging your vehicle.
