The 2023 Subaru WRX typically uses a proximity smart key with push-to-start and keyless entry. 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 Portola Valley: your driveway, a parking lot, work, or roadside. With proof of ownership, we can even make keys when every key is lost.
Dealerships are not your only option for a replacement key. An experienced mobile automotive locksmith often provides the same result — a properly cut and programmed key — with more convenience and, frequently, a friendlier price.

2023 Subaru WRX key technology
The 2023 Subaru WRX generally relies on a proximity smart key with push-to-start and keyless entry. 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 proximity smart key work for the 2023 Subaru WRX in Portola Valley, so you are not stuck waiting on a dealer appointment.
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 2023 Subaru WRX 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.
An all-keys-lost situation typically costs more than cutting a spare, simply because it requires additional programming. It is one more reason a spare key made today is such a smart, money-saving move.
