2017 Kia Sportage
Home and Office Key Service in Ventura County

Q: How fast can you get to my location?

That depends on where you are in Santa Paula, close to Glen Tavern Inn and what our schedule looks like when you call. We give you an honest arrival window on the phone. Because we are mobile and already out on the road, we can often get to you faster than Kia Roadside Assistance, which owners report takes 90 to 120 minutes just to show up. Kia dealers require appointments that may be weeks out, and even when you show up on time, the car has to wait for a certified tech and programming equipment before the actual 15 minutes of key work begins.

Q: Can I get a key made today?

In most cases, yes. We carry key blanks, cutting equipment, and programming tools for Kia models in our service vehicle. If we have your key in stock and our schedule allows it, we can be at your location and have a new remote flip key cut, programmed, and tested the same day you call. Kia dealers often cannot match that. One Forte5 owner was told it would take two weeks just to order the fob before programming could happen. Telluride and EV6 owners describe waiting weeks for dealers to order keys and schedule programming. We carry the parts and do it same-day.

Q: What battery does the 2017 Kia Sportage key fob use?

The 2017 Kia Sportage uses a CR2032 battery. You can find them at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so your new key is ready to go from the moment we hand it to you. A weak battery is one of the most common reasons a Kia fob starts acting sluggish, so it is worth checking before calling for a full replacement.

Q: Do I need an appointment?

No formal appointment is needed. Call us, we confirm your vehicle details and give you a price, and we schedule a time that works for you. Many of our Kia jobs are same-day. At a Kia dealer, you typically need to book a service appointment that may be two to three weeks out based on what owners report. One Kia owner said dealer appointments are "always for the next couple weeks," and warranty-related work gets pushed even further out. We do not operate on a dealership schedule.

2017 Kia Sportage Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

The dealer process for a 2017 Kia Sportage key goes like this. Call, get transferred twice, schedule an appointment days out, arrange a tow, sit in a waiting room, pay 200 plus tow. That's half a day gone.

A chiropractor in Santa Paula couldn't do any of that. He was at his office lot on a Wednesday with patients every 30 minutes until 5pm. His Kia smart key had stopped responding and push-to-start wouldn't wake up. He couldn't leave work, couldn't get a tow during business hours, and couldn't push it to the weekend.

I drove to his office lot between his patients. I used my HY22 Lishi to verify the door lock was fine, then plugged into OBD and reprogrammed his fob using the 6-digit PIN. His remote flip key, FCC ID TQ8-RKE-4F27, came back online with all 4 buttons working.

He walked out between his 1pm and 1:30pm patients. Working key on his desk at 95 total. Dealer wanted 200 plus a tow. Car never left the spot.

“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”

“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”

“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”

Kia Sportage Same-Day Service Questions

What to expect price-wise

How long does a 2017 Kia Sportage key replacement take?▼

Most Kia key replacements take 15 to 45 minutes once we are at your vehicle. A straightforward add-a-key on a Soul or Sorento with a flip key can program in about 15 minutes. A Telluride or Forte push-to-start smart key may take closer to 30 minutes with immobilizer registration. Either way, you are looking at well under an hour from the time we arrive to the time you have a working, tested key in your hand. Compare that to Kia owners who report dealer service backlogs of two to three weeks just to get on the schedule.
