Kia Keys Made at Your Car
Recent Kia jobs from our van include a smart key and a flip key for a Kia Telluride, a smart key for an Optima, and key programming for a Sportage. Those photos are below, taken on the job.
Newer Kias mostly use smart keys for push-to-start. Many older ones use a flip key, where the metal blade folds into the remote. Both have a chip that has to be programmed to the car. We cut the blade on the machine in our van and program the key with our tool, right where the car is parked.
Kia Keys We Make and Program
- Smart keys for push-to-start Kias like the Telluride, Sorento and Sportage
- Flip keys with the blade built into the remote
- Chip keys for older models
- Spare keys while you still have one that works
- New keys when every key is gone; see car key replacement
Got a Kia That Won’t Start With Your Key?
If the car doesn’t recognize the key, the chip may have lost its programming or the key may be damaged. Sometimes it’s just a dead battery in the smart key. We check what’s actually wrong before selling you anything. See car key programming for how that works.
What a Kia Key Costs
It depends on whether it’s a smart key or a flip key, the model year, and whether you still have a working key. Adding a spare costs less than making a key from nothing. See typical ranges on our pricing page, or call with the year and model for an exact price. Our labor has a 60-day workmanship warranty.
Kia Key FAQs
Can you make a Kia smart key if I lost the only one?
Yes, on most models. Call with the year and model and we’ll confirm on the phone before we come out.
Do you work on Hyundai too?
Hyundai and Kia share a lot of parts, including key systems on many models. Call with the year and model and we’ll tell you if we can do yours.
How long does a Kia key take?
Usually one visit at the car. It depends on the key type and the car’s security system, and we’ll give you an idea on the phone.
