Suzuki Key Replacement: Everything You Need To Know!

 


Is losing your Suzuki key can be frustrating? You need the key to start your Suzuki vehicle and drive it. What do you do if you lose your Suzuki key or it stops working? You will need to get a replacement Suzuki key made. Here we give all the information that you need to know.

What is a Suzuki Key?

A Suzuki key has special codes in it. These codes match the codes in your Suzuki vehicle. When you put the Suzuki key in the ignition and turn it, the codes match. This allows the Suzuki vehicle to start. Suzuki keys have electronic chips and codes. This is why you cannot use just any key to start a Suzuki. It must be a key made for Suzuki vehicles.

How Can You Get a Replacement Suzuki Key?

If you need a replacement Suzuki key made, you have a few options:

     Locksmith

You can go to a locksmith to have them make you a new Suzuki key. They have machines that can program new keys to match your Suzuki vehicle. This is usually the fastest way to get a new working key. But locksmiths usually charge the most money for making replacement keys.

     Suzuki Dealer

You can also go to an authorized Suzuki dealer's service department. They have the tools and software needed to program new Suzuki keys for your specific vehicle. They can make sure the new key has all the right chips and codes for your Suzuki. A dealer might charge less than a locksmith.

     Some Auto Stores

A few advanced auto parts stores offer key replacement services. They can program new keys for various vehicle models. However, their capabilities are often limited compared to locksmiths and dealers. They may only be able to make basic keys without programming. So check their services first before relying on just any auto store for a replacement Suzuki key.

How Much Does A Replacement Suzuki Key Cost?

A replacement Suzuki key that must be electronically programmed and cut can cost between $50-$350 or more from a professional. The cost can vary depending on:

     Whether it is a basic key or has remote fobs/transmitters

     How much programming is required

     If any special diagnosis or decoding is needed

     How many keys do you need to be made

     Whether you go to a locksmith, dealer or auto shop

Suzuki keys have built-in electronics that require special programming to replace. While replacing a lost or damaged key is inconvenient, a professional locksmith or Suzuki dealer has the tools to cut and program new keys to match your Suzuki vehicle.
