Subaru Key Replacement in San Luis Obispo: Which Key Type Do You Have?
Metal key
Some vehicle keys are a cut metal blade without remote buttons or an electronic chip. Whether this type fits your Subaru depends on its year and model.
Transponder or remote-head key
A transponder key has a chip that communicates with the vehicle, and a remote-head key combines a key blade with remote buttons. The exact setup varies, so tell us your Subaru’s year and model.
Smart or proximity key
Some vehicles use a proximity fob that lets the car recognize the key nearby for push-to-start operation. The fob and vehicle need to be compatible, and some replacements also need programming.
Key fob
A fob may control remote functions, operate as part of a key, or work with a push-to-start system. We provide key fob programming and can check which type your Subaru uses.
Three Details That Help Identify Your Subaru Key
- Share the year — Tell us the Subaru’s model year. Key styles and programming needs can differ between years, so this helps us start by checking the right configuration.
- Name the model — Give us the model name, such as Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, or Impreza. We confirm the exact year and model on the phone rather than assuming one key works across every Subaru.
- Have the VIN and proof of ownership ready — Provide the vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of ownership when you call. These details help identify the vehicle and establish that you are requesting a key for a vehicle you own.

All Subaru Keys Are Lost: What to Do First
- Call and say there are no working keys — Tell us that every key is lost, rather than requesting a spare. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost, and that situation can require a different key and programming check than adding a spare.
- Give us your Subaru’s details — Share its year, model, VIN, and proof of ownership. We use the details to check the key type and whether programming is part of the replacement.
- Arrange mobile service at the vehicle — We come to you, so you do not need to bring the Subaru to us. Tell us where the vehicle is in San Luis Obispo and whether it is locked; we can also handle a car key replacement in San Luis Obispo when you need a spare.
- Have the replacement checked with the car — Once the key is made, the key type determines what needs to be checked: a metal blade must fit the lock, while a transponder or fob may need to be programmed. Tell us if the car has push-to-start so we can account for its system.
What Changes the Price of a Subaru Key Replacement?
Subaru car key replacement starts at $110. The final price depends on the year and model, the key type, and whether you need a spare or have lost every key; a key with remote functions or a push-to-start system may also require programming. Share the vehicle details when you call so we can confirm the exact service and price. The $29 service call.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a Subaru key if I have no keys left?
Yes. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost, and we come to your vehicle in San Luis Obispo. Have the Subaru’s year, model, VIN, and proof of ownership ready so we can check the key type.
Will a replacement Subaru fob need programming?
Some replacement fobs need programming to work with the vehicle, while the exact requirement depends on the Subaru’s year, model, and key system. Tell us whether your current setup uses a key blade, remote buttons, or push-to-start when you call.
Can you replace keys for older Subaru models?
We check the exact year and model on the phone because older Subaru vehicles can use different key types and requirements. Give us the VIN and tell us whether you need a spare or have lost every key.
Can you replace a key for a push-to-start Subaru?
We can check the key or proximity fob your push-to-start Subaru uses and whether programming is needed. Share the year, model, and VIN so we can confirm the vehicle’s exact setup before arranging mobile service.
