Subaru Key Replacement
Subarus are renowned for their reliability, often ranking high in safety charts. However, even the most dependable vehicles can have issues, such as when your key fob suddenly stops working, leaving you in need of a Subaru key replacement.
It’s always wise to have a spare key on hand for such situations. But before jumping to conclusions, especially if your key still starts the car but the key fob itself has stopped working, the first step you should take is to check if the problem is simply due to a dead battery. Many Subaru key fobs use lithium-ion batteries, which you can easily replace by opening the key shell and identifying the correct type. These batteries are commonly available at local stores, making it a straightforward fix.
However, if replacing the battery doesn’t solve the issue, it might be time to call Car Key Guy. Our professional car locksmiths frequently handle Subaru key replacements and are well-versed in diagnosing key fob problems.
Common issues include keys that are damaged or broken—often from being dropped or exposed to water, which is a real possibility given Houston’s unpredictable weather. When the wiring or components inside the key are compromised, it may fail to communicate properly with your Subaru’s receiver. Similarly, missing or deformed buttons can cause the key to malfunction.
If you’re dealing with any of these issues, our auto locksmiths are ready to help. Car Key Guy is experienced with a wide range of Subaru models and car key types, ensuring that your key replacement needs are in capable hands. Even if you’re facing a more complex situation, such as when the original car key is lost or stolen or a key is stuck in the ignition, we’re here to provide a solution.

Subaru Key Replacement Cost
If you need a Subaru key or smart key replacement, it’s important to provide our car locksmith with the model and year of your vehicle. This information helps us determine the exact type of key your car requires.
You’ll likely need a transponder (chip key) or remote-head key for earlier Subaru models, which typically use a regular ignition switch. Based on the year and model, Car Key Guy normally charges from $200 and up for creating a new key.
Newer Subaru models, on the other hand, come equipped with more advanced key fobs featuring high-end signal encryption techniques. These keyless ignition fobs provide added security but often involve a more complex and costly replacement process. As a result, owners of modern Subaru vehicles may expect to pay more for these sophisticated key fobs and programming procedures.
