Mobile Volkswagen key replacement near you
Volkswagen's fold-out flip key is iconic, and it's also one of the most common keys we repair and replace. We cut and program VW keys on site for Jettas, Tiguans, Atlases and more, across Oakland and Macomb County.
Volkswagen has used several immobilizer generations over the years, and newer models are more involved to program than older ones. We check your exact system by VIN and tell you up front what is possible on site.

Volkswagen keys and fobs we replace
Flip keys
The classic VW switchblade key with lock, unlock and trunk buttons, used on most models for two decades.
Keyless access smart keys
Push-button start fobs for newer Atlases, Tiguans, Jettas and Golfs.
Transponder keys
Chip keys for older Jettas, Golfs and Beetles.
A broken flip key can often be rebuilt
VW flip keys often fail at the blade pin or the case before the electronics do. If the buttons still work, moving the board into a new case with a freshly cut blade can be faster and cheaper than a full replacement.
Common Volkswagen key jobs we handle
- Broken flip key repair and rebuilds

Volkswagen key replacement FAQs
Can you fix my broken VW flip key?
Often, yes. If the electronics still work, we transfer them into a new case and cut a new blade. If the key itself is damaged, we replace and program a new one.
Can you program a new Volkswagen key at my house?
For most models, yes. Some of the newest Volkswagens require online authorization for key programming. We confirm your model by VIN before coming out.
Do you make keys for older Jettas and Beetles?
Yes. We cut and program transponder keys for older Volkswagen models.
How much does Volkswagen key replacement cost?
It depends on the model, year and key type. A basic Volkswagen transponder key costs less than a push-to-start smart key, and making a spare costs less than replacing every lost key. Call (586) 623-2403 with your year, model and VIN for a firm quote before any work starts.
