Chevrolet Key Replacement & Programming in Jacksonville
Mobile Chevrolet key service across the First Coast. Spare keys from $149, all-keys-lost from $199. We come to you — no tow, no dealer wait.
Chevrolet is GM's mainstream brand and our highest-volume GM service. Silverado, Equinox, Tahoe, Suburban, and Malibu cover most of our Chevy work. GM's immobilizer family — Passlock, then PK3, then PK3+ — has been on Chevys since 1997, and the modern PK3+ system is one of the easier mainstream platforms to program. The 2016+ generation introduced Keyless Open / Keyless Start (KOS) on Silverado and Tahoe, which added the proximity smart fob to the Chevy lineup. The most useful thing to know about modern Chevys: the 'smart key' fob and the 'remote head' transponder key are not interchangeable — and a lot of owners try to replace one with the other. We always confirm the exact part number before ordering.
Pre-2010
Pre-2010 Chevys use Passlock or PK3. Older Silverado, Tahoe, and Impala of this era are inexpensive jobs — we can often do same-hour service.
2010 – 2017
2010–2017 Chevys mostly use PK3+ with the integrated remote head. Camaro and Corvette of this era are slightly more involved due to the unique key shells.
2018 – Now
2016+ Silverado / Tahoe / Suburban brought Keyless Open & Start with the proximity smart fob. 2019+ Silverado uses an updated security session that takes a few extra minutes.
Known issues we see
Two recurring Chevy patterns: (1) Silverado / Tahoe ignition cylinders wearing out — we diagnose key vs ignition on-site; (2) the rubber backing on Equinox and Malibu remote heads peeling at the seam, which we shell-swap during a spare-key visit.
Chevrolet key FAQ
How much does a Chevrolet Silverado key cost?+
Silverado spare keys start at $149 for the basic remote head transponder and $179 for the Keyless Open smart fob. All-keys-lost starts at $199 / $229. Significantly less than the Chevy dealer.
Can you program a Chevy Tahoe smart key on-site?+
Yes. We program every modern Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado smart key on-site at your home or work in Jacksonville — typical visit is 35–45 minutes.
Do GM keys work across brands?+
The transponder family is shared but the FCC IDs and shell shapes are brand-specific. A Tahoe fob is not the same as a Yukon fob even though the underlying chip is identical.
