When you need a car key replacement in Austin, knowing the potential costs helps you plan ahead. At Austin Car Key, we provide transparent pricing and professional mobile locksmith service so there are no surprises.

Whether you’ve lost your keys, need a spare, or have a damaged key that won’t work, we can cut and program a replacement on the spot.
Car key replacement costs vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. Simpler keys without electronic chips cost less, while transponder, smart keys, and proximity fobs require specialized equipment and programming, which can increase the price.

Our mobile locksmiths bring all necessary tools to your location, saving you towing fees and dealership wait times.
