Key & Remote Replacement
Modern Keys Are Smart — and Expensive. Protect Yourself Against the Unexpected.
Today's vehicles use sophisticated smart keys and remotes designed for advanced security and convenience. But that same technology makes replacement costly — often hundreds of dollars once programming and re-pairing are complete.
With Key & Remote Replacement from Total Care Auto Powered by Asbury, you're covered under a vehicle service contract that helps pay for the repair or replacement of your key and/or remote if it's lost, stolen, or damaged. It's fast, convenient protection that gets you back on the road — without the stress or expense.
Why You Need Key & Remote Replacement
Modern keys are more than just metal and plastic — they're embedded with microchips and transponders that sync uniquely to your vehicle. Losing one can mean towing your car to the dealership, waiting for parts, and paying hundreds of dollars in replacement costs.
Average replacement costs (without coverage):
| Type of Key | Typical Cost Range* |
|---|---|
| Standard Transponder Key | $150 – $250 |
| Smart Key / Proximity Fob | $300 – $600 |
| Luxury Vehicle Smart Key | $800+ |
*Based on nationwide averages. Actual costs for your vehicle may vary.
With Key & Remote Replacement, you don't have to worry about those costs — or the inconvenience.
