Saab Car Key Replacement
Automotive Locksmith
Top Rated Nationally, But Local To You
Saab owners tend to keep their cars, and since the company closed in 2011, keys have become harder to source. We work on Saab keys from a mobile van. For pricing and availability, call with the year, make and model, such as a 2008 Saab 9-3 or an older 900.
On a Saab, a damaged door lock or trim piece is hard to replace, so a lockout should be opened with care. We handle it as a car lockout and open the 9-3 or 9-5 without damage.
Saab did things its own way, right down to putting the ignition between the front seats. The keys are just as particular. Our car key replacement page shows the makes we cover most.
Older Saabs use a laser-cut blade with a chip in the head. Later 9-3 models use a fob that slides into a slot instead of a traditional key. Either one has to be matched electronically to the car, which is why we confirm your exact model first.
Find your Saab key
Pick the year and model to see which key your Saab takes. Each listing shows the key type, the transponder chip, the remote’s FCC ID, the OEM part number and the Ilco key blank for Saab models from 1990 to 2011. If a Saab listing says “Call to confirm,” we haven’t confirmed that detail yet.
This Saab list is a guide only. Some Saab keys changed partway through a model year, and some Saab models take a key that isn’t listed here. Before you buy a key, call a shop that still services Saab with your VIN for the part number.
Lost or Stolen Saab Keys
If you have no working key, tell us that up front. An all-keys-lost Saab is a bigger job than adding a spare, and we'd sooner explain it honestly than guess. Have your license and the registration or title available.
Where we can program the car, a stolen key is removed from its memory at the same time. The door lock can be rekeyed so the old blade stops working.
Broken Saab Keys
Keep every part of a broken Saab key, including the plastic shell. The blade gives us the cuts, and the electronics inside may still be good. If the car still has one working key, getting a spare made now is far easier than waiting until it's the last one.
Call (484) 891-1922 once you have the Saab's year and model. If the key is available, we'll go over pricing and an estimated arrival time. Our service area for Saab keys is the entire Lehigh Valley. Check the list of towns we serve.

What to have ready
For a Saab, tell us the year and model, where the car is, and whether you still have a key. Give us those and Saab pricing and availability are yours on the call. We confirm lawful possession of the car as part of the job.
Common Saab Key Questions
Does a Saab key cost more at night?
No. No extra charge for an emergency Saab key, and the pricing structure does not move with the hour.
What if the new Saab key stops working?
Our Saab guarantee: parts against factory defects, labor against craftsmanship.
Does my Saab 9-3 need to go to the dealer for a new key?
Not for the models we cover. The Saab key is made at the car, with no service department in the picture.
My Saab key won't turn in the ignition. Is it the key?
It can be a worn key or a worn ignition cylinder. A failing Saab ignition cylinder is swapped on site for most vehicles. See ignition repair.
