Subaru Key Replacement in the Lehigh Valley
Subarus are everywhere in the Lehigh Valley, and so are lost Subaru keys. We replace car keys for the Outback, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Crosstrek and WRX at your location. The Subaru key is cut and programmed where the car is parked.
Keys sitting in the cargo area of a locked Outback or Forester don’t call for a new key. It’s a car lockout service call, and we open the Subaru without damage so you can get them back.
Keys go missing on hikes and on ski trips. Wherever the car is now, that’s where we do the work.
Older Subarus use a simple edge-cut key. Models from the mid-2000s on generally add a chip, and recent ones use a laser-cut blade or a push-button fob.
We carry a standard cutter and a high-security cutter in the van, plus the programmer that pairs the chip or fob to the car.
Find your Subaru key
Pick the year and model to see which key your Subaru 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 Subaru models from 1991 to 2025. If a Subaru listing says “Call to confirm,” we haven’t confirmed that detail yet.
This Subaru list is a guide only. Some Subaru keys changed partway through a model year, and some Subaru models take a key that isn’t listed here. Before you buy a key, call a Subaru dealer with your VIN for the part number.
Lost or Stolen Subaru Keys
If your only key is gone, we make a new one from the car. We get the cuts from the lock or from the key code. On chip-equipped Subarus, the car must learn the new key before it will start.
If the key was stolen, we can remove it from the car's memory during that step. Rekeying the door locks is an option too, and it keeps the old blade from opening them.
Broken Subaru Keys
A broken key can be copied from the pieces. If the remote buttons are built into the key head and the head cracked, keep it. The working remote may transfer to a new key.
Before we hand over a key, we check a driver's license and a document tying you to the car. Registration, title or an insurance card all work.
Call (484) 891-1922 with the year, make and model for pricing and availability on your Subaru. Tell us where it's parked and we'll give an estimated arrival time. Subaru owners anywhere in the Lehigh Valley can call us. See the towns we cover.

What to have ready
The Subaru job goes faster with the year and model, the car's location and a yes or no on a working key. That is the whole conversation: Subaru details in, pricing and availability out. We confirm lawful possession of the car as part of the job.
Subaru Key Questions
Is a new Subaru key guaranteed?
Yes. Guaranteed against factory defects on the parts and against craftsmanship on the work: every Subaru key.
The key goes into my Subaru Outback but won't turn. What now?
Don't force it. The Subaru key gets tested before the cylinder, and the faulty one gets fixed. More on our ignition repair page.
Do you charge extra for evening Subaru key calls?
No. The Subaru pricing structure is the same during all hours of operation, with no extra charge for emergencies.
Which key does my Subaru take?
Subaru kept a remote-head key on its base trims longer than most, and put the push-button smart key on Limited and Touring first. The pattern for the Subarus we see most:
- Outback and Legacy: 2010 to 2019, base and Premium use a remote-head key; the 2013 and 2014 Limited with push-button start and the 2015 to 2019 Limited and Touring use a smart key. 2020 on, a smart key.
- Forester: 2009 to 2018, base and Premium use a remote-head key (some 2009 to 2013 cars have a chip key with a separate remote); Limited and Touring use a smart key from 2014. 2019 on, a smart key.
- Impreza and Crosstrek: 2012 to 2017, a remote-head key. 2018 on, Limited uses a smart key and the base trims keep the remote-head key.
- WRX (2015 to 2021): a remote-head key, with a smart key on the Limited.
- Ascent: a smart key on every trim.
For a Subaru, the year, model and trim, or the VIN, confirms the key before the van leaves.
Our car key chart has the same finder for 56 makes, not just Subaru.
I lost every key to my Subaru. Can you still make one?
Yes. All-keys-lost on a Subaru is done at the car, including the smart-key models. The Subaru pricing and availability check takes one call with the year, model and trim.
Do you program the Subaru push-button smart key?
Yes. We carry the smart keys for the Outback, Legacy, Forester, Crosstrek and Ascent and register them to the car where it sits. Read the cut from the working Subaru key, cut the spare, pair it: done at the car.
Does a Subaru dealer have to make the key?
No. Subaru is one of the makes we handle completely on site. We confirm lawful possession of the car as part of the job.
