We come to you anywhere in East Palo Alto: your driveway, a parking lot, work, or roadside. With proof of ownership, we can even make keys when every key is lost.
Programming a modern key is precise work. Our mobile units carry the equipment to cut and code the correct key for your vehicle on site, which is why we can usually get you driving again without a tow.

How Subaru key replacement works
Confirm the vehicle: We verify your Subaru's exact key type so we bring the right blank and programmer.
Prove ownership: We ask for documentation showing the vehicle is yours — this protects you against theft.
Cut and program: We cut the key and program it to your vehicle's system on location.
Test everything: We confirm the engine starts and that lock, unlock, and remote functions work before we leave.

Subaru key types we handle
Across the Subaru lineup you will find transponder chip keys, remote head keys, and proximity smart fobs depending on the model and year. Each needs the right blank and the right programming approach.
The single best thing you can do to avoid a stressful, expensive day later is to make a spare while you still have a working key. All-keys-lost programming takes more time and costs more than simply cutting a spare — a small step now that saves a lot later.

Subaru key replacement cost
Cost depends on the exact key technology your Subaru uses — a basic transponder key is very different from a proximity smart fob — plus whether it is a spare or an all-keys-lost job. Call (408) 755-3415 with your year and model for an accurate quote.
That is why we quote based on your specific make, model, and year rather than a generic number. Call (408) 755-3415 with those details and whether you still have a working key, and we will give you a clear, honest price.
Car key pricing varies more than people expect, because the key itself does. A basic transponder key, a remote head key, and a proximity smart fob are very different pieces of hardware, and programming complexity differs by vehicle too.
