Car keys replacement near Little Rock, AR – Things to remember before calling a locksmith or dealer
Calling an automotive locksmith or a dealer near your location when you need a key replacement is probably the most common thing to do. Based on your location, an automotive locksmith can come to you, or you may choose to tow the car to the dealer.
We outline a few points to remember, to help you save some time and money regardless of which option you choose:
- First, always ask for a quote. Describe the problem in detail and give the automotive locksmith all the details, even if you think they may not be relevant.
- Moreover, if the locksmith has all the details, it can speed up the process and make it more cost-effective. Remember to give them your exact location to prevent a long waiting period. It may also affect the price.
- In addition, tell the locksmith/dealer if the ignition was changed before, as far as you know. A previous ignition change may result in different keys for the ignition and doors.
- Most models today are equipped with chips or transponders, so make sure you mention the exact year, make and model and ask the locksmith if they have the necessary tools in their truck to code the key. Not all locksmiths have a key coding machine to program those keys.
- In addition, it’s important to have the VIN number available as the locksmith may need it.
- Finally, remember that for most makes & models, there is no need to tow the car to the dealer should you lose your car keys. You can try and call the AAA or an automotive locksmith who should be able to make you a new car key on site.
How to choose the right automotive locksmith for lost car keys in Little Rock, AR?
- First, make sure the locksmith is aware of the year, make & models of the car. Some locksmiths can make old car keys, but new ones, including transponder chip keys, high security and remote key fobs require additional equipment that not all locksmiths carry.
- In addition, ask the locksmith is licensed bonded & insured.
- Explain your problem clearly. Lost car keys or lost ignition keys are different situations from an ignition problem.
- In case the key doesn’t turn in the ignition, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new key. Sometimes it’s easier to replace the ignition instead. Make sure you mention this to the service provider.
- Verify the automotive locksmith actually serve your area to prevent a long waiting period.
- In case you are locked out of the car and lost your car keys, mention it as well so they will know this is an emergency situation.
- In addition, mention which type of key you had, e.g. regular car key, transponder key or remote key fob (push to start).
- Ask if the locksmiths are affiliated with AAA (in case you are). Not all locksmiths work with AAA and even though you can sometimes get your money back if you lost your car keys, it’s not certain. However, it is good to try.
- Finally, in case you lost your car keys and the ignition was changed before, let the automotive locksmith know about that, sometimes it may prevent them from making a replacement key. In addition, it may result in a higher cost.
Q: How can I know if my car key had a chip in it? I understand that some keys need to be programmed in order to start the car?
A: A good rule of thumb is that a key that had a plastic cover at the top and/or the vehicle was manufactured after the year 1998 most likely had a chip in it.
Hence, if you’ve lost your car key and it had a chip in it, the key will have to be programmed/ coded on site in order to start the car.
An automotive locksmith for car keys replacement in Little Rock, AR can do that on-site. Alternatively, you can contact the dealer, but the car will have to be towed there.
Fob car key – Fob car key/ remote car key/ push to start car key: Usually looks like some sort of remote. It contains a chip in it and therefore will need to be programmed.
Chip transponder car key – Transponder chip car key: Usually has a black/gray cover at the top of the key. This is where the chip is located and therefore will need to be programmed.
Regular car key – non-chip: Usually a simple blank metal key and therefore no programming is needed.

Cons:
- Coding & Programming – Getting the right key, is only the first step. This key, which is uncut and without any chip value, will have to be cut (to fit into your specific ignition) and programmed (to your car’s computer). Therefore, you will have to have a locksmith or dealer do it for you, which will result in a higher cost.
- Time – It takes some time to get the key in the mail, plus the time to schedule an appointment with a locksmith or tow the car to the dealer. Therefore, if you need a replacement key asap, it may not be the best option.
- Availability of new keys – New car keys, including remotes, may not be available for a while until sellers get them. In this case, you may need to go to the dealer or locksmith to get a replacement key.
