Key types
Pontiac Keys & How We Program Them
Pontiac used General Motors security: VATS on older models, Passlock on many 1990s and 2000s cars such as the Grand Prix and Grand Am, and chipped Circle Plus keys on later models like the G6. The Pontiac Vibe is the exception: it was built with Toyota alongside the Matrix, so it uses Toyota keys.
- VATS and Passlock keys
- Circle Plus / PK3 transponder keys
- Toyota transponder keys (Vibe)
- Remote fobs
Serving Tampa Bay
Pontiac Locksmith Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco
Grand Prix and G6 owners call us for lost keys and "theft system" no-starts. Vibe owners are often surprised to learn their key is a Toyota key, which actually makes it easier to source.
Unlock Pontiac Cars
A Pontiac 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.
Pontiac Keys Made On Site
No need to tow your Pontiac 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.
Pontiac Key Duplication
Don't wait until the last key is gone. A spare Pontiac 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 Pontiac Keys
Most Pontiac 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.
Pontiac Remotes & Key Fobs
Remote stopped working or bought one online? We stock remotes for common Pontiac 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.
Pontiac 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.
Pontiac 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 Pontiac Keys? Rekey the Car
If your keys were stolen, we can delete the missing keys from your Pontiac'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
Pontiac Key FAQ
Does a Pontiac Vibe use a Toyota key?
Yes. The Vibe was built alongside the Toyota Matrix and uses Toyota key technology.
How much does a Pontiac 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 Pontiac key if I lost all my keys?
Yes, for most Pontiac 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 Pontiac to the dealer?
No. Our vans carry the key machines and programmers, so we make and program Pontiac 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.
