Key types
Saab Keys & How We Program Them
Saab stopped building cars in 2011, but many 9-3s and 9-5s are still well cared for. Many models put the ignition in the center console between the front seats, and use a key with an integrated remote and transponder. Parts are getting scarcer, so we confirm availability before quoting.
- Transponder remote keys (9-3, 9-5)
- Center-console ignition repair
- Fob shell and battery service
Parts for discontinued Saab models can be limited. We confirm availability on the phone.
Serving Tampa Bay
Saab Locksmith Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco
Saab calls are usually spare keys, failing remotes and center-console ignitions that won't release the key.
Unlock Saab Cars
A Saab lockout is one of the quickest jobs we do. We use proper entry tools, not a slim jim, so there's no damage to the door, weatherstripping or wiring. If a child or pet is inside, tell us and you go to the front of the line. More on our car lockout service.
Saab Keys Made On Site
No need to tow your Saab to the dealership. With your VIN and proof of ownership we cut a new key and program it to the car at your location, often within an hour of arriving. That works even when every key is lost. Read about car key replacement.
Saab Key Duplication
Don't wait until the last key is gone. A spare Saab key made from a working one costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost job and takes minutes. Most families with one key for a shared car end up calling us eventually, so a spare is cheap insurance.
Transponder, Laser-Cut & Smart Saab Keys
Most Saab vehicles built in the last 25 years need a chipped key before the engine will run. We cut and program transponder keys, high-security laser-cut blades and push-to-start proximity keys with the same class of equipment the dealer uses.
Saab Remotes & Key Fobs
Remote stopped working or bought one online? We stock remotes for common Saab models and program key fobs on site. If a fob just needs a new battery, we'll tell you rather than sell you a new one.
Saab Key Shell Replacement
A cracked case doesn't mean a dead key. If the electronics still work, we transfer them into a new shell and cut a fresh blade, which costs much less than a new programmed key.
Saab Ignition Repair & Door Locks
When a key won't turn, sticks in the ignition or the cylinder spins freely, we repair or replace the ignition at your car. We also fix damaged door and trunk locks and key them to match, much cheaper than dealer replacement.
Lost or Stolen Saab Keys? Rekey the Car
If your keys were stolen, we can delete the missing keys from your Saab's computer so they no longer start the car, and rekey the locks if needed. Your new keys work; the old ones don't.

Questions
Saab Key FAQ
Can you still make Saab keys?
For many models, yes, though some parts are hard to find. Call with your model and year and we will check first.
How much does a Saab key replacement cost?
It depends on the year, model and key type. As a guide, standard keys start around $90 to $140, transponder keys usually run $120 to $220, and smart fobs and push-to-start keys range from $180 to $400 including programming. Call with your year and model and we'll give you the exact price before we come out.
Can you make a Saab key if I lost all my keys?
Yes, for most Saab models. With the VIN and proof of ownership we cut and program a new key at your car, even with no original to copy.
Do I need to tow my Saab to the dealer?
No. Our vans carry the key machines and programmers, so we make and program Saab keys wherever the car is: your driveway, a parking lot or the roadside.
What do I need to have ready?
Your ID and proof of ownership (registration or title), and the VIN if it is handy. It is on the driver-side dashboard and on your registration.
Customer reviews
What Tampa Bay Drivers Say
Real words from real customers. Most of our work comes from people who were sent to us by a friend.
I lost the only key to my car. After struggling with the car dealership, a tow company, and AAA, I found Smart Locks. Not only was the service quick (5 minutes to make two keys without an original) it was also professional and courteous. And the best part- around 1/2 the price the dealership was going to charge me for 1 key. I absolutely will call Smart Lock next time and will instantly recommend it to everyone else.
Outstanding customer service. Danny is reliable, quick and professional. He came out on a Sunday night to the airport and got us going again in a few short minutes. He was communicative, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about his service, and highly recommend him for your commercial and residential needs.
I'm extremely satisfied with smart locks, I went on vacation in Tampa, lost my rental car keys in the middle of the night, I called two other companies that was closed but Danny from smart locks was able to arrive within half an hour and make me a key in no time! Extremely fast, friendly and professional service, thank you Danny
I locked myself out of the car and left the keys on the front seat. Along with the car keys was my house key. After calling a few different locksmiths, I got in touch with Danny. He was personable, professional, and quick to respond. The price he quoted me beat everybody else's and he was able to get the job done super fast. Through it all he was able to display the kind of demeanor that would keep a client relaxed during a stressful situation.
