Prices are estimates based on typical scenarios. Actual pricing depends on your vehicle's specific requirements.
Why Does a Piece of Plastic and a Chip Cost $1,200?
Because the dealership knows you think you have no choice. Here's what they don't want you to know.
Car keys use proprietary dealership technology that only they can program.
Car keys use industry-standard OEM transponder chips. The same chips available to any qualified automotive locksmith with the right equipment.
Aftermarket keys are lower quality and won't last as long.
We use OEM-grade blanks and chips — the same components the dealership uses. Our 3-year warranty covers parts and labour because we back what we sell.
You need to go to the dealership for European luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, or Audi.
European keys are more complex, but Buzz has 22 years of experience programming them. Same encryption, same chip, without the showroom markup.
A replacement key from a locksmith won't work as well as the original.
A properly programmed replacement key is functionally identical to the original. Start, lock, unlock, boot release — all features work exactly the same.
