GMC Key Replacement in Boca Raton, FL

Lost, broken or missing GMC key? Here is how it gets fixed.

GMC trucks and SUVs share their key systems with Chevrolet, from the plain cut keys on older Sierras to the push-button smart keys on a Denali. Sierra and Yukon keys are an everyday job for us.

Boca Raton is home base, and the GMC stays where it is. We drive to it, make the key on the spot and test it in the car. For a price, call or text (561) 561-5397 with the year and model. The number you get is the number you pay.

Keys, fobs and more for your GMC

All keys lost. We do not need an original. The new GMC key is made from the car, and the missing keys are removed from its memory.

Duplicates. One working key makes the next one simple. Most owners wish they had done it sooner.
Fobs. Remote-head keys and proximity fobs, programmed on site with the car’s own security codes.
Key broke off. The piece comes out of the lock or ignition, and a new key is cut by code.

GMC keys by year

Which key your GMC 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.

Dealer versus mobile locksmith

A dealer add-a-key for a GM vehicle typically runs about $350 to $500 all-in, and the vehicle has to get to the dealer first.

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

We come to the car, usually with the key already on the van, and the price is quoted before we leave Boca Raton. It is typically well below the dealer’s.

Which GMC models?

Including the Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Acadia, Terrain, Canyon, Envoy, Savana. If your model is missing, call anyway; most are covered.

GMC key questions

Do you program keys for GMC Denali models?

Yes. Denali trims use a push-button smart key, and we program it at the vehicle and cut the emergency blade.

How long does it take?

For most GMC models, less than an hour from the moment we arrive. The tougher security systems take longer, and we tell you which yours is when you call.

Can you come to where the car is?

No tow. There is no shop; the van is the shop. We come to the car anywhere within about 30 miles of Boca Raton.
