Hyundai & Kia FAQ

Someone broke my Kia ignition trying to steal it. Can you fix it?
Yes. This is a very common issue right now. We can remove the damaged ignition assembly, repair or replace the cylinder, and cut you a new key so the car is drivable again.
Do you have keys for the new 2023+ models?
Yes, we stock the newest 6-button and 7-button smart fobs for modern Hyundai and Kia SUVs (including Remote Park Assist models).
My key fob buttons disintegrated. Do I need a whole new key?
Not always! Hyundai and Kia rubber buttons wear out fast. We can often replace just the outer plastic shell and transfer your electronics, saving you money compared to buying a new remote.
How much is a Hyundai key?
Laser-cut flip keys are typically $140-$180. Smart Proximity fobs range from $220 to $350 fully programmed. Dealer prices are usually $500+ and require towing.
