Making Hyundai car keys
Mobile and workshop service · Same-day · Every Hyundai model 2002–2026
Lost your Hyundai key? Need a spare before a long trip? Smart key won't sync after a battery change? We are the Lower Mainland's specialist mobile locksmith for Hyundai key replacement, smart key programming, transponder key cutting and all-keys-lost recovery — at a fraction of the dealer cost, often the same hour.
What we do for Hyundai owners
- Spare key cutting & programming — when one working key already exists. 30–60 minutes on-site.
- All keys lost recovery — extract the immobilizer PIN, erase any old/lost keys, program new ones from zero. 60–90 minutes typical.
- Smart key (proximity / push-to-start) programming — Tucson, Santa Fe, Sonata, Palisade, Kona, Ioniq and others.
- Key fob shell replacement — broken case, worn buttons, water-damaged fob.
- Key fob battery replacement — $5–$20 fix that solves “my fob stopped working” in most cases.
- Transponder chip programming — older Hyundai models with metal-blade keys (2002–2012).
- Emergency blade cutting — the hidden mechanical key inside every smart key fob, cut to your door cylinder.
- Immobilizer fault diagnosis — engine cranks but won’t start, “key not detected” warning, intermittent no-start.
