Car key replacement from a Boise automotive locksmith
Boise drivers often need more than a basic key cut, because modern vehicles use chipped transponder keys, push-button fobs, and proximity smart-key systems. A replacement car key usually requires both cutting the physical key blade and programming the embedded chip so your vehicle recognizes it as authorized. 84 Locksmith provides mobile car key replacement, key fob programming, transponder key programming, and automotive lockout service for drivers across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Caldwell, Kuna, Star, and the surrounding Treasure Valley.
Our mobile locksmith units carry key blanks, cutting equipment, and automotive programming tools so most jobs can be completed right where your vehicle is parked. Whether you lost all keys to a Toyota, locked your keys in the trunk, snapped a key in the ignition of your Ford F-150, or need a spare key programmed for a Subaru, we can help you avoid towing fees and dealer wait times.

Automotive locksmith questions, honest answers.
How much does it cost to replace a car key?
The cost depends on your vehicle and key type. Basic mechanical keys usually cost less. Transponder keys, remote head keys, and smart proximity keys cost more because they require programming. Call with your year, make, and model and we will give you the most accurate quote possible before dispatch.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes, in many cases. For many vehicles, we can create a replacement car key even when all keys are lost. Depending on the vehicle, we may decode the lock, use vehicle information, cut a new key, and program it on-site.
Do you program key fobs?
Yes. We program many key fobs, remote keys, transponder keys, and proximity smart keys. Call with your vehicle’s year, make, and model so we can confirm compatibility before dispatch.
My key won’t turn in the ignition. What’s wrong?
Common causes include a worn key, worn ignition cylinder, steering wheel lock pressure, or damaged internal ignition components. We can diagnose many ignition problems on-site and repair or replace the ignition cylinder when needed.
Can you unlock my car if my keys are inside?
Yes. Car lockouts are one of our most common automotive locksmith calls. We use proper automotive lockout tools designed to unlock vehicles without damaging paint, weather stripping, or window seals.
Do you service Tesla, Rivian, or other EVs?
We can help with some electric vehicle lock and key situations, but service depends on the exact make, model, and issue. Tesla and some other EV systems may require manufacturer access for certain key procedures. Call with your specific vehicle and we will let you know what we can do.
How fast can you get to my car?
We offer quick response across the Boise metro, Mon–Sat 8AM–8PM. Actual arrival times depend on traffic, your location, and which technician is nearby.
Can I just go to a hardware store to get a copy of my car key?
For older basic keys, sometimes yes. For most modern transponder keys, remote keys, and smart keys, the key must be programmed to your vehicle. A key that is only cut but not programmed may unlock the door but will not start the vehicle.
Do you accept insurance or AAA?
Some roadside assistance plans, insurance policies, and auto clubs may reimburse locksmith service. Payment is collected at the time of service, and we can provide an itemized receipt for you to submit for reimbursement.
