The 2013 Audi A5 typically uses a remote head key combining a cut blade, a transponder chip, and remote lock buttons. 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 San Bruno: 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 Audi key replacement works
Confirm the vehicle: We verify your 2013 Audi A5'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.
2013 Audi A5 key technology
The 2013 Audi A5 generally relies on a remote head key combining a cut blade, a transponder chip, and remote lock buttons. 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 remote head / transponder key work for the 2013 Audi A5 in San Bruno, 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.

Avoid a lockout: get a spare Audi key
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.
Keep proof of ownership handy. For any key replacement, especially all-keys-lost jobs, a professional locksmith will ask for documentation showing the vehicle is yours. It protects you against theft and is a sign you are dealing with a reputable pro.
Audi key replacement cost
Cost depends on the exact key technology your 2013 Audi A5 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.
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.
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.
