Daewoo · Car key replacement
Daewoo car keys, made at your vehicle in Los Angeles
Daewoo was later absorbed into GM, so some later blanks overlap with Chevrolet's — which occasionally saves the day.
Pre-transponder — our simplest keys
Three things set a Daewoo key price. Have them ready and the call takes a minute.

Daewoo key types, by generation
The single fastest way to get an accurate price is to know which of these your vehicle uses. Two minutes here saves a phone call of guessing.
The Daewoo thing worth knowing
This is the hardest make on the page to source a blank for, and it has nothing to do with the technology — the keys are simple. Daewoo left the US market in 2002 and the supply chain went with it. We check availability before we quote, because on this one make, we sometimes genuinely can't get the part.

What we do for Daewoo owners
Keys cut and programmed from scratch when every key is lost. Spare keys and fobs made while you wait, which is always cheaper than the emergency version of the same job. Broken blades extracted from doors, ignitions and trunks. Worn ignition cylinders repaired or replaced. Remote and fob programming when you already own the hardware.
All of it mobile, at your vehicle, anywhere within 20 miles of Los Angeles — because a car with no key cannot be driven to us anyway.
Cheapest advice in this trade: if you have exactly one working Daewoo key left, have a spare cut now rather than after you lose it. A spare made calmly on a Tuesday is a fraction of the price of an all-keys-lost job at midnight.
Daewoo keys — straight answers
How much is a replacement Daewoo key in Los Angeles?
Daewoo predates the transponder era, so there is no chip to program and nothing to marry to the car. It is a straight cut key, and it is the least expensive kind of key we make. Call with the year, the model, and whether you turn a key or push a button to start it — those three things are what set the price, and we will give you a firm total on the phone before anyone drives out.
I have lost every Daewoo key I own. Can you still help?
Yes — that is an all-keys-lost job and it is routine. We originate a new key from the vehicle itself rather than copying an existing one. It takes longer than cutting a spare, so we quote it as its own job on the phone rather than burying the difference.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a Daewoo dealer?
Usually yes, and the larger difference is time — a dealer typically wants the vehicle brought to them and quotes days, while we come to the car and finish on site. For Daewoo we originate keys in-house, so a dealer trip is not needed.
My Daewoo key has started sticking in the ignition. Is that the key?
Often it is not — it is the ignition cylinder wearing out, and a new key will not fix it. If the key needs a jiggle, a particular angle or two hands to turn, get it looked at before it strands you. A rebuild costs the same whether you do it now or after it fails; doing it after also costs you a tow.
What do you need from me?
Proof the vehicle is yours — registration, title or insurance in your name, plus matching photo ID. Every legitimate locksmith asks. If one does not, that tells you something worth knowing.
