Kia key replacement in Boca Raton & South Florida.

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

Kia keys run from a plain cut key on an older Rio to a push-button smart key on a Telluride. We also repair ignitions and steering columns damaged in theft attempts on key-start Kias.

We are based in Boca Raton and work out of a fully equipped van, so the whole job happens at your Kia: the blade is cut, the key is programmed, and the car starts before we leave. Text or call (561) 561-5397 with the year and model for a price up front.

Keys, fobs and more for your Kia

• All keys lost. We do not need an original. The new Kia key is made from the car, and the missing keys are removed from its memory.
• A second key. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is quick, and it saves an all-keys-lost job later.
• Key broke off. The piece comes out of the lock or ignition, and a new key is cut by code.
• Ignitions. A key that will not turn or will not come out is usually the cylinder, not the key. See ignition repair.
• Keys in the car. Opened without a scratch. See our lockout page.

Kia keys by year

Which key your Kia uses decides how it is made. Years are approximate and vary by model.

Kia theft damage and ignition repair

Many 2011 to 2021 Kia models that start with a turn key were built without an engine immobilizer, and thieves break the steering column and ignition to start them. If that happened to yours, we repair or replace the ignition at the car and make keys to match. The free anti-theft software update is done by the Kia dealer and is worth getting once the car is drivable.

Dealer versus mobile locksmith

A dealer add-a-key for a Hyundai, Kia or Genesis typically runs about $300 to $450 all-in, and the car has to get to the dealer first.

A typical dealer charges about $290 just to program a Kia 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 Kia models?
