Chevrolet car key replacement, done at the roadside
In Ottawa, Silverados, Equinoxes and older Cruzes are the regulars. Urban Locksmith cuts Chevrolet keys to your VIN and programs them at the vehicle, covering 62 Chevrolet models across the 2001 to 2026 model years. Worth knowing before you call: mid-2000s GM platforms vary so much that we confirm the system from the VIN, not the year.
2001-2006 Chevrolet keys
Passlock and VATS-derived systems. Some keys carry a resistor pellet rather than a chip.
2007-2015 Chevrolet keys
Circle Plus and later transponder generations, plus early proximity fobs on some models.
2016-2026 Chevrolet keys
Proximity fobs across most of the range, with rolling-code remotes.
The Chevrolet immobiliser and what it means for your key
Chevrolet vehicles use the GM Passlock / immobiliser. Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. GM vehicles of the mid-2000s vary considerably between platforms. Consequently the year alone does not always tell us the system, so we confirm from the VIN.
What usually goes wrong on a Chevrolet
Passlock faults on mid-2000s models present as a no-start with a security light, which owners often mistake for a dead key.
What a Chevrolet job usually involves
Mid-2000s GM platforms vary so much that we confirm the system from the VIN, not the year. GM platforms of the mid-2000s vary enough that the model year alone misleads, which is why we work from the VIN.
Current Chevrolet models we cut and program
These Chevrolet nameplates are still sold or recently discontinued in Canada. Therefore they cover most of what Urban Locksmith sees on Ottawa roads today.

Chevrolet key questions
Can you make a Chevrolet key with no original?
Usually yes. Urban Locksmith cuts to your VIN and programs the key to the vehicle. However, proof of ownership is required before any work starts.
How long does Chevrolet key programming take?
For a Chevrolet spare, usually well under an hour. For all-keys-lost, mid-2000s GM platforms vary so much that we confirm the system from the VIN, not the year.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a Chevrolet dealer?
On a Chevrolet, mid-2000s GM platforms vary so much that we confirm the system from the VIN, not the year — and there is no tow either way.
Do you program Chevrolet proximity and push-to-start fobs?
Yes. GM vehicles of the mid-2000s vary considerably between platforms. Consequently the year alone does not always tell us the system, so we confirm from the VIN. GM platforms of the mid-2000s vary enough that the model year alone misleads, which is why we work from the VIN.
Which Chevrolet models do you see most in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, Silverados, Equinoxes and older Cruzes are the regulars. All 62 Chevrolet nameplates from 2001 onward are covered, and passlock faults on mid-2000s models present as a no-start with a security light, which owners often mistake for a dead key.
What do you need from me for a Chevrolet?
Ownership paperwork and photo ID, then mid-2000s GM platforms vary so much that we confirm the system from the VIN, not the year.
