Why no blanket year-by-year price promise? Key systems can change between model years, trims, and even individual vehicles. A model year alone doesn’t confirm key type, programming access, or parts availability. Call with your year, make, model, and key type so we can check compatibility and confirm your price before dispatch. Please share a VIN by phone only if needed—not in a public message.

Straight answers
Before booking a car key.
Are these final Vanguard Locksmith Pros prices?
No. These are proposed draft starting prices for the business owner to review; they are not approved rates or a binding quote. The final public pricing should only be posted after Vanguard confirms its actual costs, capabilities, service area, and terms.
Does every car make and model year qualify?
No universal compatibility is promised. Key type, model year, trim, security system, and parts availability affect what can be done. Call with the year, make, model, and whether a working key is available; compatibility and the exact price must be confirmed first.
What changes the final price?
Key or fob type, whether a working key is available, required cutting and programming, parts availability, vehicle security procedures, and the service location can affect the total. Confirm all charges before authorizing work.
Is this the same as the listed $98 home or car lockout price?
No. The $98 listed total ($75 service plus a $23 service fee) applies to home or car lockout service on the main site. It is not a car key replacement or programming price.
