A Smart Key is the type of key your 2020 Subaru Outback uses. It contains a programmed chip that communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system to verify it is an authorized key before the engine will start. It also has 4 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key will be rejected by your Subaru security system. Some locksmiths only know how to clone an existing Subaru key and cannot originate one from VIN, which leaves you stuck if all keys are lost.

2020 Subaru Outback Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from an Uber driver at the brake shop near Border Area. He'd already gotten burned. He called one of those $49 Google ads for his 2020 Subaru Outback, the locksmith showed up, charged $425, and the key didn't even work properly. It would start the car but the remote buttons were dead. He found me through Google Guaranteed and asked how to verify I was legitimate. Fair question.

I gave him my BSIS license number right on the phone, LCO#6792. He looked it up on the state website while we were still talking. I'm also NASTF certified, which gives me factory security data that unlicensed operators can't access. I told him I'd fix what the other locksmith messed up.

I used my Smart Pro to reprogram his fob correctly with the proper security handshake so both the remote and transponder work. His Smart Key, FCC ID HYQ14AHK, came back with all 4 buttons working plus clean engine start. It came out to $287, exactly what I quoted. Dealer wanted $491 for the same job.

Subaru Outback Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How do I spot a fake locksmith before I get ripped off?▼

Look for three things. First, a real business name, physical address, and verifiable reviews on Google and Yelp. Scam operations use dozens of different names that all route to the same call center. Second, ask for a firm price on the phone for your specific Subaru model. A legit locksmith will ask your year, model, push-to-start vs turn key, and how many existing keys you have before quoting. If they just say we do all cars for $29, that is a red flag. Third, ask about their state license. In California, every locksmith company must have a BSIS license number they can give you on the spot.
