Chip key cutting & programming for all major makes — a Seatown specialty since 2007. Save hundreds vs. the dealership.
Transponder key programming is one of Seatown Locksmith's core specialties — and one of the most underserved services in South King County. A transponder key contains a microchip that must be programmed to your specific vehicle. Most dealers charge $400–$800. We typically do it for a fraction of that, often while you wait.
