For Honda drivers
Most Hondas we see are down to one key.
It's the predictable consequence of cars lasting well. A Civic or CR-V changes hands a couple of times, the second key goes astray somewhere along the way, and nobody notices until the only remaining key is lost, snapped or soaked.
That moment is expensive in a way that having a spare cut never is. We do both jobs — a straightforward copy while you still have a working key, and the full all-keys-lost process where we build a new key from nothing — but only one of them involves your car sitting where it stopped.
What it costs
Honda key prices start at the same place as everyone else's.
What your Honda takes depends on its age. Older models generally use a transponder key you turn in the ignition; newer ones use a proximity fob you keep in your pocket. The year and model tell us which, and the price follows from that.
The full list — laser cut keys from $45, transponder keys from $75, remote head keys from $95, smart and proximity keys from $145, and all keys lost from $145 — is on the price list, along with what moves the final number. Every figure there is a starting price, not a flat rate, and we match written estimates.
Also for Hondas
It isn't always the key.
If the key turns badly, sticks, or only works at one particular angle, the problem is often a worn ignition cylinder rather than the key itself — a different job, and usually a cheaper one than replacing keys. That's ignition repair, from $225.
And if the fob has simply stopped responding, it's worth ruling out a flat vehicle battery before buying anything. See key fob replacement.
FAQ
Honda key questions, answered straight.
How much is a replacement Honda key?
It depends which key your Honda takes. A laser cut key starts at $45, a transponder key at $75, a remote head key at $95 and a smart or proximity fob at $145. Those are starting prices, not flat rates. Send us the year and model and we'll give you the exact number.
Is it worth getting a spare Honda key before I need one?
Financially, it's the single best decision on this page. Copying a key you already have starts at $45. Starting from nothing because the last one went missing starts at $145 and varies by vehicle. The work is also far less disruptive — a spare takes one short visit, while all-keys-lost has to be done wherever the car happens to be stranded.
Can you program a Honda key at my house?
Yes. We're mobile across London and Southwestern Ontario and do the cutting and programming at the vehicle. The shop at 737 Hamilton Rd Unit 2 is there if you'd rather come to us.
Which key does my Honda use — a transponder key or a proximity fob?
It depends on the age of the car. Older Hondas generally use a transponder key you turn in the ignition, from $75; newer ones use a proximity fob you keep in your pocket, from $145. The year and model tell us which, and the price follows from that.
My Honda key sticks or only turns at one angle. Is that the key?
Usually it's the ignition cylinder, not the key. Honda is one of the three makes we see most for worn cylinders, along with Volkswagen and Chevrolet. Repairing the cylinder keeps your original key working and is usually cheaper than replacing keys — ignition repair starts at $225.
