Kia Car Key Replacement Services
Kia vehicles are known for their reliability, modern technology, and affordability. Whether you drive a Kia Forte, Sportage, Sorento, or Telluride, having an issue with your Kia car key can be a major inconvenience. Lost keys, broken key fobs, or malfunctioning smart keys can leave you stranded, unable to start your vehicle, or locked out completely.
At First Class Locksmith, we specialize in Kia car key replacement, duplication, programming, and repair. Whether you need a spare key, a transponder key replacement, or a smart key reprogrammed, our experienced locksmiths provide fast, professional, and affordable service.

Common Kia Car Key Issues We Solve
We understand that a malfunctioning or lost Kia key can disrupt your entire day. Below are some of the most common Kia key issues we resolve:
1. Lost or Stolen Kia Keys
If your Kia key is lost or stolen, we can generate a new key from scratch.
For security reasons, we can deactivate your old key, ensuring it cannot be used by anyone else.
2. Damaged or Broken Kia Keys
If your Kia key fob is cracked, unresponsive, or has missing buttons, we can repair or replace it.
If your metal key blade is bent or broken, we can cut a new one on the spot.

3. Kia Transponder Key Issues
Many Kia vehicles use transponder keys, which have a chip that communicates with your car’s immobilizer.
If your transponder chip is malfunctioning, your car won’t start—even if the key turns in the ignition.
We program and replace Kia transponder keys so they work seamlessly with your vehicle.
4. Smart Key or Push-to-Start Not Working
Some newer Kia models come with smart keys that allow keyless entry and push-button ignition.
If your Kia does not detect the key, or your push-start system isn’t responding, we can reprogram or replace your smart key.
5. Broken Key Extraction
If your Kia key has snapped off inside the ignition or door lock, attempting to remove it yourself could cause more damage.
Our technicians use specialized tools to extract the broken key safely without harming the ignition or lock.
6. Ignition Cylinder Problems
If your Kia key won’t turn in the ignition, it could be due to a damaged key, a faulty ignition cylinder, or worn-out components.
We diagnose and repair ignition issues quickly and affordably.
