Hyundai and Kia use a shared key platform, so a locksmith with Hyundai capability also handles Kia (and vice versa). Programming is straightforward — most models 10-25 minutes on-site.
Hyundai had some specific anti-theft updates in 2023-2024 that affected Elantra and Sonata models — they now require slightly longer security wait periods on 'all keys lost' scenarios. Programming is still way faster (and cheaper) than dealer.

Common Hyundai key issues we see
Real patterns from Hyundai owners across the Charlotte / Lake Norman area:
- Sonata smart key won't unlock — often low car battery, not the fob
- Elantra transponder key wears quickly on high-mileage cars — fresh key usually fixes ignition problems
- Tucson / Santa Fe push-button not responding — fob battery is the most common culprit
- All keys lost on 2023+ Elantra requires 30 min security wait (built into the car, not our delay)
