FAQs

How long does it take to make a Hyundai key replacement?

Once the locksmith arrives with the necessary key blank, key fob, or key remote, they can provide a whole host of Hyundai car key replacement services. Getting a new Hyundai key will generally take 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of services needed.

For example, if the car was locked without a spare key around, it will need to be opened to complete this process. Once the car is open, existing keys may need to be invalidated (if they were lost or stolen). A physical key may also need to be cut. That process will take longer than a simple car key duplication.

Is it possible to replace my Hyundai car key remote?

A Hyundai car key remote replacement is just another type of Hyundai car key replacement. The remote is a key to your car, and it can be replaced just like any other Hyundai key. As long as you contact the appropriate professional service you can get the right type of new Hyundai key for your particular vehicle. United Locksmith is more than qualified for this type of work.

Do I need to contact a Hyundai dealership to get a Hyundai car key replacement?

The primary ways to replace lost car keys certainly include the dealership as an option, but Hyundai key replacement can be handled elsewhere.

It is contained in the VIN, and in the case of modern cars, in the vehicle’s on board computer. A locksmith will gain access to these existing facets of your Hyundai and can make the the new Hyundai key from scratch.

Hyundai Ignition Replacement

If your Hyundai has a keyed ignition cylinder (meaning you insert a physical key and turn it in order to start the vehicle), there is a chance you may need to replace your ignition cylinder rather than to replace your Hyundai key. Just like your key can break or wear down so that it doesn’t work, the same can happen to your ignition.

When the issue is not with your key, replacing your Hyundai key is not going to solve the issue. But how do you know what the issue is? Ignition troubles and key problems can often disguise themselves as one another, so this can be very difficult. The easiest thing to do is to hire a professional locksmith who knows how to do the proper troubleshooting. They will be able to tell you if you need Hyundai ignition replacement or key replacement.

Hyundai Key Fob Replacement

With the most recent advancements in Hyundai car keys, they have moved into the smart key category. This means that the physical has been replaced by the digital. This removes the keyed cylinder and opening and the starting of the car is handled wirelessly and remotely. These keys are not the same as a Hyundai remote because it is used to start the car.

Hyundai key fob replacement consists of getting the replacement key fob and then programming it. Often there will also be a length of metal that can be cut into a somewhat ancillary physical key, but it is not necessary for starting or using your car in the simplest sense.
