When you need reliable car key duplication in the Chicago area, Chicago Car Keys is your trusted expert. A proper duplicate must match both the mechanical key cut and the vehicle security system. Traditional metal keys may only need precision cutting, while transponder, remote-head, switchblade, and proximity keys can require chip or remote programming. A working key often makes duplication simpler, but the correct blank and electronic compatibility still must be verified.

Yes, for many compatible vehicles. A proper duplicate has to match both the mechanical key cut and the vehicle security system. Traditional metal keys may only need precision cutting, while transponder, remote-head, switchblade, and proximity keys can also require chip or remote programming.
The quote depends on the vehicle year, make and model and on the type of key, since a metal key, a chip key, and a smart fob involve different parts and programming. Call (773) 521-7000 with those details for a quote before work begins.
A working key often makes duplication simpler. When every key is lost, the job becomes an all-keys-lost replacement, which uses a different procedure and requires proof of ownership and key-code access. Having a tested spare avoids that situation.
