Chevy or GMC key gone? We make the new one at the truck.

A Silverado at a job site, an Equinox in an apartment lot, a Tahoe in the garage: when the key is lost, broken or won’t start the engine, Zoom Locksmith drives to the vehicle and makes the new key there. We cut the blade, program the chip or fob, and test it with you. Call with the VIN or the year and model for a free quote before the van rolls.

GM keys

One brand,
a lot of different keys.

Chevrolet and GMC have used several kinds of key, and the right one depends on the model, the year and often the trim. Many trucks and SUVs that start with a key you turn carry a key with the lock and unlock buttons built into the head. Many cars and crossovers — a Malibu, an Equinox, a Cruze — use a flip key that folds into the fob. And many newer Silverados, Sierras, Tahoes and Yukons start with a push button and a smart key that stays in your pocket.

GMC trucks and SUVs are close cousins of Chevys — a Sierra and a Silverado, a Yukon and a Tahoe — and they often share a key. Buick and Cadillac are GM too. Many newer GM blades are laser-cut, with the cut running down the middle of the blade instead of along the edge, and the van carries a cutter for those.

Many newer GM vehicles need a factory-authorized programming step before a new key will work. We have the access for it on most models, so a newer Silverado or Tahoe is usually still a one-visit job. If your exact vehicle turns out to be dealer-only, the dispatcher tells you before anyone drives out.

  • Chevy, GMC, Buick & Cadillac keys
  • Remote-head & flip keys
  • Push-to-start smart keys
  • Laser-cut blades
  • All keys lost — a new key made at the vehicle
  • Spares for work trucks & family SUVs

How it works

From no key
to a truck that starts.

  1. 01

    Call with the VIN

    Give the dispatcher the year and model — Silverado, Equinox, Sierra, whatever it is — the VIN if you have it, and whether it’s push-to-start. That’s enough for a free quote and a check that your year can be done on-site.

  2. 02

    We come to the vehicle

    The tech drives to the truck or car: a job site, a driveway, an office lot or a garage. Before any key is made, we ask to see your ID and the registration.

  3. 03

    Cut & program

    The blade is cut — traditional or laser-cut — and the chip or fob is programmed to the vehicle right where it’s parked.

  4. 04

    Test every button

    We test the start, the doors and the remote with you. If your fob has a remote start button, say so when you call and we’ll check it before we leave.

Before we arrive

What to have ready

The same short checklist for any Chevy or GMC:

  • A photo ID with a name that matches the registration or title. For a company truck, paperwork showing you’re authorized to use it.
  • The registration or title for the vehicle.
  • The VIN. It’s on the registration and the insurance card, on the dash at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side, and on the driver’s door-jamb sticker.
  • Whether it starts with a key or a push button, and whether the fob has a remote start button.
  • Every key and fob you still have, working or not. On some vehicles, programming a new key clears any key that isn’t there.

Pricing

What affects the price

Every Chevy and GMC key is quoted on its own. What moves the number:

  • The kind of key: a chip key, a remote-head or flip key, or a push-to-start smart key.
  • The blade: a traditional cut or a laser-cut key.
  • Whether a working key still exists — adding a spare is simpler than starting from nothing.
  • The year and model, and whether that model needs a factory-authorized programming step.
  • How many keys you want — a second key on the same visit saves a trip.

Call with the VIN or the year and model and the dispatcher quotes the job up front, free. The quote is what you pay — no trip fee and no surprise charges at the curb.

Mobile across Tampa Bay

Job site, driveway
or parking garage.

A work truck with no key stops the whole crew, so we go to it — a new build in Wesley Chapel, a yard in Plant City, a shop lot in Brandon. Family SUVs get the same visit at home or at work. Lost every key? See lost car key replacement. Dead or missing push-to-start fob? See key fob & push-to-start replacement.

Key stuck in the ignition or snapped off in the lock? That’s an ignition repair job, and we handle it on the same kind of visit, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm.

For most Chevys and GMCs, no — we make the key where the vehicle is parked, with no tow. Many newer GM models need a factory-authorized programming step, and we have the access for it on most of them. If yours is a dealer-only exception, we tell you up front.
