Equinox fob still dead after a new battery, late at night in a store lot? We drive out and set up a new one.

When Chevrolet Keys Act Up

  • Remote buttons quit, but the engine still starts with that key? The remote and the start chip are separate, so we test the remote side and fix only what failed.
  • Key broke off in a door lock or the ignition? We extract the snapped piece, then cut a new key from it or from the code.

Chevrolet Keys by Type

  • VATS keys: some Chevy cars from the late 1980s to about 2002, like the Camaro, Corvette and Caprice, with a small coded pellet in the blade.
  • Passlock keys: many late-1990s and early-2000s models, like the Malibu, Impala, Cavalier and S-10. The key looks ordinary; the security lives in the ignition.
  • Chip keys: many Chevy trucks, SUVs and cars from the mid-2000s on, often marked with a small circle-plus on the blade.
  • GM flip keys: a regular sight on the Equinox, Cruze and Camaro from about 2010, the Malibu a few years later, and many trucks and SUVs since.
  • Keyless Start fobs (push-button start): higher Malibu, Tahoe, Suburban and Traverse trims in the 2010s, with more models and trims added since.

Year and trim both count. On one model year of Silverado, a work-truck trim and a top trim can use different keys. Call (443) 527-1442 with the VIN and we'll look it up.

Check your registration or insurance card for the VIN, or look through the windshield at the lower driver's-side corner.

Chevrolet Key Problems We Fix

Chevy Keyless Start (push-to-start) fobs

  • Keyless Start lets a Chevy start by button while the fob stays put in a pocket or purse. New and extra fobs for the Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Traverse, Equinox, Malibu and Blazer are a regular job for us.
  • When the dash says no remote is detected, the fob battery is often fading; where to set the fob so the car still starts is in the FAQ below.
  • There's a mechanical key inside the fob for the driver's door.
  • Out of fobs completely? Most Chevrolet models can get a new one programmed at the curb.

Broken Chevy flip key? Blade or housing

  • GM flip keys snap at the hinge or lose spring tension. The blade or housing can be swapped while your remote keeps working.

Before We Get There

  • Tell us if your Chevy has a start button, a flip key or a plain key.
  • Tell us what floor and section of the garage you're on.

Good to Know

  1. My Silverado key has a small black dot on it. Does that matter? Yes. That pellet tells the truck it's the right key, so the new key needs the matching value.
  2. Why does my Chevy key have a small circle-plus symbol? On many GM keys, it means a chip is built in. A plain copy without the chip won't start the car.
  3. What is Passlock on an older Chevy? It's an older GM anti-theft system where the check happens inside the ignition, not in the key. A blinking security light and no start often trace back to the ignition or lock cylinder.
  4. Where does my Chevy fob go if the car can't find it? Most Keyless Start models have a backup pocket, often in the console or a cup holder. Place the fob in that pocket, then push the start button.
