The Evolution of Car Keys

The Chip Revolution

Modern cars, even those dating back to 1993, feature computer chips or transponder chips embedded in their keys. These chips communicate with the car’s immobilizer system, ensuring only authorized keys can start the engine.

Goodbye, Standard Keys

Gone are the days of simple key cutting for a few dollars. Remote keys and transponder keys are now commonplace, enhancing security and convenience.

Cost-Effective Solutions

The Price Tag Reality

The average remote car key costs around $479 (according to recent studies). At Terry’s Locksmiths, we offer a cost-effective alternative: non-remote car keys. These keys start the car but lack the remote functionality—ideal as backups or affordable options.

Aftermarket Remotes

We provide aftermarket remotes for a wide range of cars, often at half the original price. Quality meets affordability when you choose Terry’s Locksmiths.

Buying Smart: Consult a Professional

Online Temptations

Online companies may offer attractive, cheap original keys. But beware: Has the key been used? Is it compatible with Australian cars?

Frequency Matters

Car remotes vary by region (European, USA, Japan, Australia). Frequencies differ, and not all remotes work seamlessly with Australian-made cars.
