Smart Car Key Replacement in Boca Raton, FL

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

The Smart Fortwo was sold in the US from 2008 to 2019. With the brand gone from American showrooms, a lost Fortwo key usually means a trip to a Mercedes-Benz dealer, since Mercedes built the car. We come to the car instead.

We are based in Boca Raton and work out of a fully equipped van, so the whole job happens at your Smart car: 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.

What we do for Smart Fortwo owners

All keys lost. Every Smart car key is gone. We make a new one from the car itself and delete the lost keys, so a found key no longer starts it.
Keys in the car. Opened without a scratch. See our lockout page.
Spare and duplicate keys. The cheapest key you will ever buy is the second one, made while the first still works.
Broken and worn keys. Extracted from the lock or ignition and replaced with a key cut to factory code.
Ignition repair. Key will not turn, or will not come out. See ignition repair.

Smart Fortwo keys through the years

Key systems changed over the years. The table shows what to expect; exact years vary by model.

Years	Key type	What it means
2008 to 2015 Fortwo	Remote key	A chip key with the lock and unlock buttons built into the head. The ignition is between the seats.
2016 to 2019 Fortwo	Remote key, newer system	A redesigned car with a different key system. Tell us the year and model when you call or text. If yours is one we cannot do, we will say so on the phone, before anyone drives anywhere.

What the dealer route looks like

Smart stopped selling cars in the US after 2019, so there is no Smart car dealer to go to. A Mercedes-Benz dealer can sometimes help, but the car still has to get there.

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.

Smart Fortwo models covered

Common Smart car key questions

Is a Smart car key the same as a Mercedes key?

No. Smart was a Mercedes-Benz brand, but the Fortwo has its own key. Tell us the year and model when you call or text. If yours is one we cannot do, we will say so on the phone, before anyone drives anywhere.

How much is a replacement Smart car key?

It depends on the model, the year and the type of key, so we quote before we come out, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. Our price is typically well below a dealer’s, and there is no tow.

Do I need to tow my Smart car to you?

No. Everything is done at the car, at your home, office or wherever it is parked, within about 30 miles of Boca Raton.
