Q: Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

Not for most GMC models. A mobile locksmith with the right tools and credentials can handle all-keys-lost right where the vehicle sits. GMC dealers default to telling you to tow because they need the truck in their bay. A Yukon XL owner who trailered the SUV to the dealer ended up without it from Friday through Monday while they waited for an electrical tech. A GMT800 Sierra/Yukon owner was told they "might have to have it towed to be programmed." We come to you. The only exceptions are certain very new models with restricted programming, and we tell you upfront if that applies.

Q: How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

On site, most GMC AKL jobs take 30 to 45 minutes. The GM Theft Deterrent system requires a security relearn with three 10-minute wait cycles before the first key is accepted. Once that first key is learned, additional keys are added in about a minute each using the fast two-key procedure. At the dealer, a Yukon XL AKL job stretched from Friday to Monday because of tech availability. Another dealer quoted "2 hours" for what turned out to be about 30 minutes of actual work. We do the same 30 minutes at your location without the dealer overhead.

Q: What battery does the 2017 GMC Yukon key fob use?

The 2017 GMC Yukon uses a CR2032 battery. When we do an all-keys-lost job, the new key always comes with a fresh battery installed. You will not need to worry about battery life on your new key for a long time. We also recommend keeping a spare battery at home once you have your key, since a dead fob on a GMC push-to-start system can leave you unable to start the truck even though the vehicle is fine.

Q: Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. On GM trucks, the all-keys-lost security relearn takes about 30 minutes for the first key. Once that key is learned, adding a second key takes about a minute using the fast procedure. Getting both keys done in one visit saves you from ever paying for another AKL job. Late-model GM systems often require two programmed keys to fully exit programming mode and clear the "Ready for remote 2" status. Doing both at once is cheaper and keeps the truck happy.

2017 GMC Yukon Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I guarantee my work. If the key I program to your 2017 GMC Yukon fails within my warranty period, I come back and fix it at no charge. Not dealer warranty with fine print. Me driving to wherever you are and making it right.

A soccer coach at the fields near Ventura Botanical Gardens had a fair question before I started. What happens if the key stops working in a month? His Yukon was his family car and he couldn't afford to be stranded with equipment and kids loaded up.

I told him what I tell everyone. I stand behind every key I make. Chip warrantied, programming warrantied, blade cut warrantied. If something fails that's on my end, I come back. No questions, no service fee. I decoded his lock with my B111 Lishi, cut a fresh key, and programmed it through OBD. His fob, FCC ID HYQ1AA, was a 6-button remote. I tested start, lock, unlock, and range. Then I tested it again after we talked for five minutes, because intermittent issues sometimes show up after the key sits idle.

His total was 261. The dealer charges 447. My warranty is simple because my process is simple. Program it correctly the first time using factory-supported procedures and quality blanks, and warranty claims are rare. But when they come up, I show up. Same van, same person, no charge.

“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”

Emergency Situation FAQ

What to expect when we arrive

I lost all my GMC keys. Can you still make a new one?▼

Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the most common calls we get, and we handle it on site for most GMC models. The process involves a full security relearn through the Theft Deterrent system. On many GM trucks, this is a 30-minute procedure with three 10-minute wait cycles where the key sits in the ON position until the security indicator goes out. Once the first key is learned, additional keys program in about a minute. We come to wherever the vehicle is in the Ventura Botanical Gardens neighborhood in Ventura and do the entire job on the spot.
