Cost varies by vehicle, location, and provider. Contact a local automotive locksmith or your dealership with your vehicle's year, make, and model for an accurate quote. Locksmiths often offer competitive pricing for both services.
What affects the price
Your vehicle's year, make, and model, whether it uses a standard remote, transponder key, or smart key, and whether an emergency insert key needs to be cut can all shift the price. Labor rates in your area and whether you choose a locksmith or dealership matter too.
Two separate services
Programming and cutting aren't the same thing. Programming pairs the remote with your vehicle's security system so it can lock, unlock, and start the car. Cutting shapes the metal blade to match your vehicle's locks. Depending on your vehicle, you may need one, the other, or both.
