Chevrolet Key & Ignition Pricing in Dallas
Ranges current as of July 2026. Final price depends on model year, key type, and whether a working key still exists — confirmed on the phone before dispatch.
| Service | Typical range | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| PK3 / PK3+ transponder key — cut and programmed | $120–$200 | Turn-key models; includes cutting to code from the VIN and the theft-deterrent programming pass. |
| Folding flip key with integrated remote | $180–$300 | 2014–2018 trucks and same-era cars; rehousing existing electronics lands at the low end. |
| Smart proximity fob | $250–$300 | Push-button models; includes cutting the concealed emergency blade. |
| All keys lost (add-on) | +$75–$250 | Added when no working key exists and GM's theft-deterrent system must complete a full relearn. |
| Theft-deterrent / immobilizer relearn | $120–$280 | The timed GM relearn after battery, BCM or ECM work — executed to procedure so the security light actually clears. |
| Chevrolet lockout entry | $85–$200 day / $125–$275 after-hours | Non-destructive entry on trucks, SUVs and cars. |
Chevrolet Models We Service in Dallas
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2007–2013PK3+ transponder and remote-head keys verified by the BCM — a 'Service Theft Deterrent System' message on these trucks is a BCM-side handshake fault, not always a bad key.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2014–2018Folding flip key standard; the hinge wears out long before the electronics, and rehousing your programmed guts into a fresh shell beats buying a new key.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2019–presentProximity fob with push-button start on most trims; the newest VINs sit on GM's tightened-access architecture, which we confirm by VIN before dispatch.
Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban
2015–2020Proximity fob standard — a fob not detected after a coin-cell change points at the battery seating or cabin antennas before it points at the BCM.
Chevrolet Equinox
2018–presentPush-button start across most of the range; key work is fob programming plus the emergency blade cut to code.
Chevrolet Camaro
2016–presentProximity fob with a hidden mechanical lock cylinder for dead-battery entry — knowing where it hides saves a tow.

About Chevrolet Key & Module Systems
GM's theft deterrent system uses the BCM as the central security module. The key's transponder is verified by the BCM, which then communicates with the ECM to authorize starting. When the 'Service Theft Deterrent System' message appears or the theft light activates, it typically means the BCM can't verify the key. We diagnose and repair GM theft deterrent issues on-site using GDS.
Where the honest limit is
Chevrolets from the Passlock and PK3 eras through current proximity trucks are almost always on-site work, all-keys-lost included. Where we hold back a promise is the newest model years on GM's latest electrical architecture, where programming access has been tightened, and any vehicle whose BCM or engine controller was replaced with mismatched theft-deterrent data — those can need module-side work we would rather confirm than discover in your driveway. Send us the VIN and model year and we confirm exactly what your Chevy needs before we dispatch a truck.
