Car Key Replacement for Acura
Since different Acura models have different types of keys, it’s important to know which type of car key replacement you need. Models made before 2010 often use non-transponder keys, which means the keys can be cut with a standard cutting machine. The majority of newer Acura cars use keys with chips or transponders in them so it’s best to have car key replacement done by a professional auto locksmith to ensure the key code is programmed properly.
Key Fob Replacement for Acura
The latest models from Acura come with keyless entry fobs used for your vehicle’s “push to start” ignition system. These advanced keys also come with the latest security features, which means they are also expensive to replace. Whether you go to the dealership or an auto locksmith to get a key fob replacement, your new fob will need to be coded and programmed in order for it to work properly.
Options to Get an Acura Key Made
There are a few different ways to get your new Acura key made:
- You can call a professional auto locksmith, like Rapid Locksmith, as we offer comprehensive car key and fob replacements for many Acura models.
- Have your Acura model car towed to the dealer (It may be the most expensive one)
- Order a key online and have that programmed by a dealer or a professional auto locksmith
The type of key you need for your Acura will depend on its year and make. Remote keys, keyless entry fobs, or regular old-fashioned car locks are all possibilities depending on how old or new it is.
Acura Cost Of Replacement Keys
You can expect to pay between $100 and $400 for a replacement Acura car key, depending on the following details. This price varies greatly based on where you purchase it from as well as what type is needed.
- Key type
- Year of manufacture
- Your location
- Day of the week
- Time of day
- If the correct key code is still available
- Cutting a key is easy if the correct code is still available
- If your Acura still has its original ignition system
The most important factors to consider are the type of key you had and the year your Acura was manufactured. This information will determine the type of key you need (i.e. traditional ley, keyless entry fob, or a key with a chip). You can expect to pay more for car key replacement if you have a newer Acura model since auto manufacturers are improving their security features every year.
When you need a locksmith, it’s always good to know their hours of operation. If they’re not available during traditional business hours then the cost could be much higher than expected!
