The Volkswagen brand is among the European makes that we deal with on our Houston premises and include Jetta, Tiguan and Atlas. The process of Volkswagen key replacement is usually slightly more complex than the equivalent service performed on most domestic and Asian vehicles due to the security system installed on various makes and generations. Paul Car Key Houston offers mobile services of Volkswagen key programming and cutting whenever it is possible to do that directly with the vehicle's system, saving many owners from having to tow the car to the dealer's garage.

Why Volkswagen Costs More Than the Car Next to It

We service many models of Volkswagen such as Golf, GTI, Taos, Jetta, ID.4, Tiguan, Passat, Atlas Cross Sport, Atlas and the Beetle.

There have been several generations of immobilizer and key security system used in different Volkswagen models and years, so the process of key programming may differ greatly from model to model. Sometimes a more advanced security access or special procedure required by the manufacturer should be performed before replacing the key in the vehicle, as a result the programming of Volkswagen keys takes more time than that of many other vehicles' keys.

Some of the Volkswagen cars cannot be programmed at the vehicle at all, especially those where some special security modules are used. Please give us the year, model and VIN number of your car when you call us to know what procedure and price you should expect.

The Flip Key Hinge That Always Goes

All the problems of Volkswagen keys do not always require the purchase and programming of a new key. Sometimes with a flip key, its hinge or the spring may wear out faster than its electronic elements. The key may begin to work poorly, be loose or fail to lock in the open position. In case the electronics of the key are good, then they can simply be transplanted to a new key.

What to Have Ready Before You Call

There is great variety among different key systems of Volkswagen, depending on the generation of the car. Having the year and model of the car will greatly simplify the booking process. Let our operator know whether your key is a flip key or a proximity fob and provide your VIN number whenever it is possible.

The Spare That Came in an Envelope

There are quite a few old Volkswagens where there's a second key still in the dealer's plastic bag and unused and unprogrammed, and the owner naturally assumes that it works as a spare key. More often than not, it does not work. An unprogrammed key is simply a blank key with an embedded chip that has not yet been written into your vehicle, therefore it won't do anything. Fortunately, it is the least expensive way to get a key because all you need is to program it. Get it out and be prepared to tell about it when you call.
