Volkswagen Car Keys

Volkswagen Keys We Handle Every Week

Most Volkswagens use a flip key with the remote built into the head, plus an immobilizer chip. When the flip spring breaks, the case cracks, or the key is lost, we can replace the shell, cut a new blade, or originate and program a complete new key at the vehicle.

Jettas and Passats are common around the University of South Carolina and downtown, and Tiguans and Atlases in the suburbs. Wherever it’s parked, we come to it.

Popular Volkswagen models we key: Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas, Golf, Beetle, Taos, GTI and more. Not sure about yours? Call with the year and model and we’ll confirm before we come out.

Volkswagen Car Keys FAQ

My VW flip key won’t flip open — can you fix it?

Often, yes. A worn flip mechanism or cracked case can usually be replaced while keeping the electronics that are already paired to your car.

How much does a Volkswagen key replacement cost?

It depends on the model, the year and the type of key. We quote the exact price, cutting and programming included, before we start.

Do I need to tow my Volkswagen to you?

No. We are fully mobile and do the work wherever the vehicle is parked.

What do I need to show you?

Proof of ownership (registration or title) and a matching photo ID. We will not make a key without it.

Can you make a spare Volkswagen key?

Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is quick and costs far less than replacing a lost last key.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. Our line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays.
