What spare car key actually involves in Delray Beach

A spare car key is the cheapest insurance in your driveway. Premier cuts a duplicate transponder key for $45 - $85, or a duplicate smart-key proximity fob for $165 - $285. Either is a fraction of what lost-key replacement costs ($135 - $585 depending on vehicle).

The conversation we have most often: a customer just paid $385 for a lost-Lexus-fob replacement. We finish the program, hand them the new fob, and ask if they have a spare. They say no. We make the case for a duplicate the same day - if they had had a duplicate this morning, the entire $385 visit would never have happened.

Common Delray Beach use cases: spare at the parents' house, spare in a key safe at the office, spare with the in-laws who pick up kids from school, spare in the boat slip, spare with the cleaner. Pick one that works for your life and the math always works in your favor.

Spare Car Key - Delray homeowners' questions, answered

Lost-key replacement costs 3 - 5x what a duplicate costs. Half our lost-key emergency calls happen on weekends or holidays when dealer service is closed.
Not in the car (defeats the point). Common spots: with a family member, in a key safe at home, at the office, with a trusted neighbor.
We don't hold customer keys - it's a liability + chain-of-custody concern. We cut, program, and hand both keys to you.
Yes if both have wear or risk of loss. Many customers spare only the fob (smart-key) and keep one mechanical valet key.
20 - 30 minutes for transponder, 30 - 45 minutes for smart-key, 45 - 75 minutes for European luxury.
