Holden Key Replacement

Holden Key Replacement in San Jose

Holden vehicles use several key types depending on the model and year. Older models typically run a basic transponder key with a chip in the head that the car's immobilizer must recognize before it will start. Many later models use a remote head key or a flip (switchblade) key that combines the cut blade, transponder, and lock/unlock buttons in one unit. Newer Holdens — and the rebadged GM platforms behind several of them — can use a proximity smart key with push-to-start, letting you unlock and start without taking the fob out of your pocket.

Every modern Holden relies on an immobilizer/anti-theft system, so a new key has to be both cut to your locks and electronically programmed to the car before it works. Models you'll still spot around San Jose and the South Bay include the Commodore, the Cruze, and the Captiva. Because key systems vary year to year, we always confirm your exact year, make, and model on the phone first — we never over-promise that a specific car can be done until we check.
