NASTF CertifiedQX70 Key Coverage by Year
All QX70 model years
We service every QX70 model year, 2014 through 2017, and that includes every key style these years came with. Instead of asking you to identify the key yourself, we decode it from your VIN and from a quick photo of what you're holding. From there we bring the right blank, cut it on our Xhorse Condor, and program it at your location. Whether your QX70 left the factory with a fob or a bladed key, the work happens at your curb and you watch the new key start the vehicle before we take payment.
Which Key Does Your QX70 Use?
Not sure which key your QX70 takes? Send us the VIN and a photo of any key you still have, and we'll tell you exactly what we'll be making.
If your QX70 starts with a push button while the fob rides in your pocket, you have a proximity fob. We program replacements on site, cut the hidden emergency blade, and confirm every remote function works before we leave.
Some keys turn in an ignition and carry a transponder inside the plastic head, sometimes with remote buttons built in. If that describes your QX70 key, we cut and program a match curbside in one visit.
The small metal blade tucked inside a fob opens the door when the battery dies. We cut these to code on the Xhorse Condor, so you have a working backup even if you never need it.
QX70 Key Pricing
QX70 key pricing depends on the key style, the model year, and whether you still have a working key. The table below shows how the options compare, and we confirm your exact number before any work begins.
Why Call Us Instead of the Dealer
Our techs carry everything a QX70 key job needs: blanks, the Xhorse Condor for cutting, and the programming gear to pair the finished key. Because we work where your vehicle sits, there's no tow bill stacked on top of the key itself. Most Ventura County appointments are same-day, the work is done in front of you, and the key is tested in your hand before we call it finished.
Dealerships do honest key work too, but the structure works against you. Your QX70 has to get there, which usually means a tow when no working key exists. The parts department may not stock your fob, programming waits for a service bay to open up, and the whole exercise often spans days rather than an hour at your curb. For a key, that's a lot of logistics.

Fob battery is dying
Remote range shrinks, buttons need two or three presses, then nothing. A coin-cell battery like a CR2032 is a cheap fix, and we test the fob after swapping it because a weak battery sometimes masks a deeper fault. If a fresh cell doesn't bring your QX70 fob back, we can program a replacement on the spot.
Vehicle stops seeing the fob
A fob that worked yesterday and is ignored today usually has a simple cause. We start with the battery, then check whether the fob has dropped its programming, then test the fob hardware itself. Each of those has a fix we carry on the van, so the diagnosis and the cure happen in the same visit.
Worn or sticking blade
Metal keys and emergency blades wear down with years of use, and a worn cut can stick in the lock or stop turning altogether. Rather than copying the worn key and copying the wear along with it, we cut a fresh blade to the original factory code so it works like day one.
All keys lost
Losing every key to your QX70 feels like a tow-truck problem, but it isn't. We generate a new key from the vehicle itself at your location, verify your ownership first, and have you driving the same day in most cases. No dealer visit, no waiting on a key to ship.
Can You Program a QX70 Key Yourself?
There are vehicles where an owner can pair a basic remote from the driver's seat. For most modern keys, including the ones we make for the QX70, programming runs through equipment that connects to the vehicle, and that equipment is the expensive part of this trade. The blank fob you can buy online is only half the job, and the missing half is the half that makes the engine start.
If you're set on saving money, the smarter move is to let us supply and program everything, because a fob that arrives locked to another vehicle or simply defective wastes both your money and your week. We warranty the keys we supply. When something we provided acts up, we come back and make it right, which no marketplace seller is going to do at your curb.
How It Works

We drive to you
Home, work, or wherever the vehicle sits along the 101 corridor. The van carries the cutting and programming equipment, so nothing needs to move.
Cut, program, prove it
We cut the key on the Xhorse Condor, program it to your QX70, and start the engine in front of you before you pay.

Did You Know?
Modern key cutting machines like the Xhorse Condor cut to the factory code rather than tracing a worn key. Every copy of a copy drifts a little further from the original, and an old key's wear gets baked into the duplicate. A code-cut key is effectively a brand new original, which is why a fresh key often turns smoother than the one you've carried for years.
