2017 Buick Encore
Quick-Turn Key Replacement in Ventura County

Q: What is the FCC ID for the 2017 Buick Encore key?

The FCC ID is HYQ4AA, HYQ4EA, OHT01060512, P409MK74946931, KR55WK500733, OHT05918179. This is the federal registration number for your key's wireless transmitter, printed on the back of the fob. We use this to verify we are programming the exact right key for your vehicle. Getting this wrong means the remote will not work, so we always double check.

Q: Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), fully insured, and bonded. We are also NASTF Vehicle Security Professional certified, which means we have passed federal background checks and have authorized access to vehicle security data. On top of that, we are BBB A+ rated and enrolled in Google's Guaranteed program. You can verify all of this online.

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Fair question. The locksmith industry has a real problem with scam operators. Here is how to verify us. Look up EZ Car Keyz on Google and read our 1,000+ reviews. Check our YouTube channel with over 113,000 subscribers where we show our actual work. Verify our BSIS license number LCO 6792 on the California state website. We also give you a firm price before we come out and never change it when we arrive. If any locksmith gives you a vague price or refuses to provide a license number, hang up.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Yes. We program all functions including the transponder chip, remote lock and unlock, and any other features your key has. We use professional equipment and OEM-spec key blanks. Before we leave, we test the key with you. The car starts, the remote works, everything functions exactly like your original key. If anything is off, we fix it on the spot.

2017 Buick Encore Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

If you want the fastest possible 2017 Buick Encore key replacement, here's what to have ready when I arrive. Your VIN, visible on the dashboard driver's side or on your registration. Your ID proving ownership. And if you have a working key, even a dead one, keep it nearby because add-a-key on a Buick is significantly faster than all-keys-lost.

A Pilates studio owner in Thousand Oaks had all three ready when I arrived. She had a break between clients and texted me the VIN before I left. Her Encore needed a spare and with the VIN, I already knew her smart key, FCC ID HYQ4AA, and the exact security module type before I showed up. I prepped the blank and chip on the drive over.

I used my IM608 to access the BCM and run the add-key routine. Because she had the VIN ready and a working key present, I skipped the lock decode and went straight to programming. Total time from parking to handing her a tested spare was 22 minutes.

That's the fastest version of this job at around 185 total. A dealer charges 395 for the same key without the speed.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
