Subaru key and fob replacement in Vancouver

There is a lot of Subaru in this city and most of it spends weekends somewhere with gravel, which is where the keys go. A blade transponder key for an older Outback, Forester, Impreza or Legacy is $180-$280 cut and programmed. A proximity smart key for a newer Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Ascent or Solterra is $280-$420. All keys lost starts from $180.

We cut and program at the car, normally 20 to 30 minutes from the shop at 4105 Macdonald St. Published bands are on the price list, and the car key replacement page carries the same work for every other make.

Subaru models, years and key types

Blade transponder or proximity, model by model.

Outback

Blade transponder on the older wagons, proximity smart key from the mid-2010s. The Outback is the Subaru we cut most keys for in Vancouver by a wide margin.

Forester

Blade transponder early, proximity on the newer cars. Fob cells and worn shells are the two most common Forester complaints.

Crosstrek

Blade transponder on the first generation, proximity from the second. Programmed at the kerb through the OBD port.

Impreza, WRX and Legacy

Blade transponder on most of the range, proximity on the newer cars. The WRX is the Subaru most likely to arrive with ignition damage rather than a lost key.

Ascent, BRZ and Solterra

Proximity smart key. The Solterra shares its platform with a Toyota, so the same tooling covers both.

What a Subaru key costs, dealer or locksmith

Published figures. A dealer key means getting the car there, which is the expensive half when it will not start.

Blade transponder key

$180-$280 cut and written to the immobiliser.

Proximity smart key

$280-$420 for the newer Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Ascent and Solterra.

Spare beside a working key

$180-$240 blade, $300-$420 proximity. Worth doing before the trip rather than after.

All keys lost

From $180, with the immobiliser read at the car and the missing key voided.

Service call

Standard hours are a $75 service call. Labour from 5 to 9 pm is $150, and $250/hour from 9 pm to 8:30 am.

Worn cylinders, WRX damage and fob shells

Older Impreza and Legacy cylinders

Past about 200,000 km these bind and eventually refuse the key outright. We rebuild or replace the cylinder at the car and key it to your existing key where the lock allows; that work is ignition repair.

WRX ignition damage

The WRX gets targeted, and when it does the cylinder rather than the key is what needs replacing. We fit a fresh cylinder and code new keys to it in one visit.

Fob shells that lose contact

On the newer Outback and Forester the battery contact inside the shell fails before the cell does. A shell swap with the original electronics is usually the whole fix, and it is not a new key.
