The 2016 Cadillac CTS typically uses often a proximity smart key or push-to-start fob, though some trims still used a bladed remote key. We identify your exact key type, then cut and program a replacement so your vehicle starts, locks, and unlocks the way it should.
We come to you anywhere in Palo Alto: your driveway, a parking lot, work, or roadside. With proof of ownership, we can even make keys when every key is lost.
Not every locksmith handles every vehicle, but we work across a wide range of makes, models, and model years. We confirm your exact key type up front so we arrive with the right blank and programmer in hand.

How Cadillac key replacement works
Confirm the vehicle: We verify your 2016 Cadillac CTS'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.
We start by confirming the exact vehicle and key technology, because the right approach for one model year can be wrong for another. From there we cut the key, program it to the vehicle's system, and verify start, lock, unlock, and remote functions.
2016 Cadillac CTS key technology
The 2016 Cadillac CTS generally relies on often a proximity smart key or push-to-start fob, though some trims still used a bladed remote key. That matters because the replacement has to be both cut correctly and programmed to the vehicle — a hardware store copy alone will not start the engine on a chipped or proximity system.
Our mobile unit carries the equipment to handle smart / proximity key (common) work for the 2016 Cadillac CTS in Palo Alto, so you are not stuck waiting on a dealer appointment.
If your key or fob is starting to feel unreliable — sticking in the ignition, intermittent remote, worn buttons — do not wait for it to fail completely. Addressing it early is almost always simpler than dealing with a total failure at the worst moment.

If your key or fob is starting to feel unreliable — sticking in the ignition, intermittent remote, worn buttons — do not wait for it to fail completely. Addressing it early is almost always simpler than dealing with a total failure at the worst moment.

Cadillac key replacement cost
Cost depends on the exact key technology your 2016 Cadillac CTS 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.
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.
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.
