Same-Day Chevrolet & GMC Car Key and Fob Replacement
Metroplex Locksmith cuts and programs Chevrolet & GMC keys where your vehicle sits — a driveway in Fort Worth, an office lot in Arlington, or anywhere else in the Metroplex.

We quote one all-in number on the phone before we dispatch, and it does not change when we arrive.

Models We Service Most in DFW

Dealer vs. Mobile for Chevrolet GMC Keys
GM dealer key pricing carries the parts counter’s markup and the service lane’s calendar; the timed relearn that makes all-keys-lost slow happens either way. So the choice reduces to where you spend that time — a waiting room after a tow, or your own driveway while we run the procedure. Same security outcome, very different day.
The Honest Boundary
Plain talk on limits: GM’s timed relearn means an all-keys-lost visit has a mandatory clock in it — we tell you the real window up front instead of promising a fifteen-minute miracle. And on the very newest GM platforms, first-key data can require channels that push the job beyond a same-day mobile visit; your VIN tells us, and we tell you.
Chevrolet & GMC Key Replacement FAQ
Why does a GM all-keys-lost job take longer?
Many GM platforms enforce a timed security relearn that no tool can shorten. We plan for it and tell you the realistic window up front rather than surprising you on site.
My old Cadillac-era key has a pellet in the blade — is that the same system?
That is VATS, GM’s resistor system, and yes — we service it. A worn pellet causes intermittent no-starts that are often misdiagnosed as electrical faults.
Do you cover both Chevy and GMC trucks?
Yes — they share GM key architecture, so Silverado and Sierra, Tahoe and Yukon are the same service with different badges.
Why did my Silverado die in traffic and now shows a security light?
Classic PassLock-era behavior: the ignition’s lock sensor drifts out of spec and the truck thinks it is being stolen. It is a repairable sensor/relearn issue — not a reason to replace the ignition blind.
Are Chevy and GMC keys interchangeable?
The architecture is shared — a Sierra and Silverado of the same year use the same key family — but each key still programs to one specific truck. Same service, same price, different registration.
My GM fob remote start stopped working but everything else works — fob dead?
Not necessarily. Remote start drops out for reasons ranging from a low fob battery to hood-switch faults the truck reports silently. We check the cheap causes before selling hardware.
Why does GM make me wait during an all-keys-lost relearn?
The platform enforces a timed security relearn that no tool shortens — it is anti-theft by design. We schedule around it and tell you the real window up front instead of promising miracles.
Can you fix a PassLock no-start without replacing the ignition?
Usually — the drifting sensor and relearn are repairable without wholesale ignition replacement, which is exactly the diagnosis-before-parts discipline these trucks reward.
