“If you have a car that’s 10 years or older, it’s more likely you will be able to use an aftermarket key fob,” says CR’s Ibbotson. “Many of these less advanced fobs can be programmed by a local mechanic, an automotive locksmith, or the customer.”

“The cost to replace the latest key fobs can run anywhere from $50 to as high as $400 depending on the brand,” says Consumer Reports automotive analyst Mel Yu. And that’s just for the fob. Add another $50 to $100 to get replacement fobs programmed to work with your car and to have a new mechanical backup key made. The key fobs for European cars and SUVs are typically the most expensive, thanks to their sophisticated rolling-code encryption to prevent theft.”


Here’s What You’ll Pay To Fix Your Car When The ‘Check Engine’ Light Comes On

“Several factors impact the type and cost of repairs, including vehicle age, driving conditions, upkeep and how often a driver addresses a dashboard warning light, which can snowball…if ignored,” says CarMD’s CEO Leon Chen.”

“Of the myriad warning lights on your car or truck’s dashboard, it seems the most ubiquitous is the “check engine” alert. When you see the “check engine” message or a symbol that looks like a car engine, it usually indicates there’s a problem with the vehicle’s emissions system. Yet too many motorists tend to ignore the alert if the car still seems to be operating normally. The prudent course of action if the light stays on, of course, is to make an appointment to take the vehicle to a technician to have the problem evaluated before it turns into something that’s far costlier to fix.”
