Fortunately, you can get a car key replaced, even if you don’t have an original key handy. You can have your car taken to an auto dealership to get a new key made.

To have a new key made for your car, you’ll need to call a locksmith and tell him or her the make and model of your car as well as the year it was made.

Whether you need a simple key for a car manufactured prior to 1981, a transponder key that will need to be programmed to work with your car, or a smart key that looks more like a key fob than a regular car key, a good locksmith will be able to create the key you need.
