Chevrolet shares its key platform with GMC and Buick, so we carry blanks that work across all three brands. Silverado and Equinox use remote flip keys ($175), Tahoe and newer Silverado HD use smart proximity ($220), and the Malibu uses standard transponders ($150).
Chevy keys have a quirk — when the car battery dies completely, the key pairing sometimes needs to be re-confirmed. Usually a 2-minute on-site fix, not a re-programming job.
Typical programming time
10-20 min remote, 15-30 min smart-key

Cost vs the dealer
Chevy dealer: $275-450. Us: $150-220. About 40-50% savings.
Common Chevrolet key issues we see
Real patterns from Chevrolet owners across the Charlotte / Lake Norman area:
- Silverado flip-key blade snaps from being twisted in lock (we cut and pair new)
- Equinox remote loses car pairing after dead battery (quick re-sync, $0 if we're already there)
- Tahoe smart key range gets short with weak fob battery (just needs CR2032)
- Older Malibu transponder ignition wear — fresh key often fixes 'won't turn' problem
