Einstein Locksmith is a mobile locksmith based in Boca Raton. We come to wherever your GM is parked, cut the key, program it to the car, and you drive away. Call or text (561) 561-5397 with the year and model and you get a price before we come out.
Which key your GM uses decides how it is made. Years are approximate and vary by model.
| Years | Key type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Late 1980s to 1990s | VATS key | A metal key with a small resistor pellet in the blade. The pellet value has to match the car, so a hardware-store copy will not start it. |
| About 1997 to 2000s | Transponder (chip) key | PK3 and PK3+ keys with a chip in the head. Some 2000s GM trucks and SUVs used a plain cut key with the security in the ignition instead. |
| About 2010 on | Flip key and remote-head key | The remote and the chip key in one piece. |
| About 2010 on | Push-button smart key | A proximity fob that stays in your pocket. It is programmed to the vehicle through the diagnostic port. |

A typical dealer charges about $250 just to program a GM key, before the cost of the key itself.
