Duplicating Transponder Keys at An Affordable Price

Transponder key duplication may seem like a relatively simple and common service, but the price can vary significantly depending on where you turn to.

Many people go in to have their transponder key duplicated and are shocked when they hear that the price is much more than for standard key copying. The electronic microchip in each transponder key’s key fob is what increases the price for this type of key. Then there’s the technical skilled and precision equipment involved in programming the chip.

While there are certain costs involved in the duplication of a transponder key, such as the price of the microchip that will always cause it to be more expensive than a standard key, many places overcharge for the service in order to make more profit.

Ironically, some of these companies also utilize substandard practices and employ unexperienced technicians, which can cause mistakes in programming your key that could range from a mismatched chip code to shorting your vehicle’s internal computer.
