A trip to a Sandy or Murray dealership for a new transponder key can mean a tow, hours of waiting, and a $400+ bill. We program most makes on-site in Herriman.

What a Transponder Key Does

A small chip in the key head transmits a unique code to your car's ignition. No matching code = no start. This is why an unprogrammed copy will turn the cylinder but never crank the engine.
