What a car key costs in Jacksonville
Use the starting rates to identify the service category. Then compare what your quote actually includes: the replacement part, cutting, programming where applicable and the visit. Vehicle compatibility is checked before booking.
| Job | Starts at | Scope to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Car lockout | $85 | Describe cabin, trunk or tailgate access. Entry is separate from replacing a missing key. |
| Spare / duplicate key | $150 | Identify the vehicle, existing working keys and the functions required. |
| Key fob / remote programming | $150 | Check the part and requested functions before buying a fob. Parts are included only when specified in the quote. |
| All keys lost | $195 | Confirm compatibility, vehicle access and ownership or authorization before arranging the replacement. |
| Ignition repair | $299 | Cylinder repair is different from replacing a broken key. A replacement key for a usable cylinder starts at $150; assessment determines the scope. |
Starting prices. The final quote depends on your vehicle, year, key type and location — we confirm it on the phone before we head out. The agreed scope identifies the parts, work and visit included.
Compare functions, not just the fob shell
Door access, remote buttons and engine-start authorization are separate functions. A quote for one is not automatically a quote for all three. An existing working key can also change the required procedure.
Before accepting an estimate, use the quote comparison checklist to record the requested work and exclusions.
Comparing your quote
Why is every price 'from'?
A starting rate describes a service category, not every vehicle variant. The part, key system, remaining keys, requested functions and location determine the actual quote.
What should a written quote identify?
Ask for the part or customer-supplied-part conditions, cutting, applicable programming, visit charge and any exclusions. Agree any change in scope before additional work.
How should I compare a mobile and a dealer quote?
Compare the same part and functions, appointment availability, whether the car must be moved and any separate transport or visit costs. A general website cannot determine which option is cheaper for your vehicle.
