We make and program GMC keys at your truck anywhere in Las Vegas, 24/7. Sierra, Yukon, Canyon and Savana owners call us often, and we program the new key right where the truck is parked, even when that is a construction site.

Lost the only key to a work truck? We can build a replacement from scratch with no key to copy, and our guide on lost car keys with no spare explains what to have ready. If the keys are simply locked in the cab, that is a faster call.

Built for work trucksWe come to equipment yards, job sites and storage lots, not only to homes and offices.
Several trucksIf more than one GMC needs keys, mention it during the call so we bring enough key blanks.

Papers readyKeep the registration or title and your photo identification handy for when we arrive.

Which GMC Key Do You Have?

Most GMC trucks from the late 1990s to the mid 2000s used a plain looking key, with the security system located in the ignition. Around 2007 the security chip moved into the key, and later trucks added remote head keys and push to start proximity fobs.

Plain cut keyThis key is common on older Sierras, Yukons, Envoys and Savanas, and it has no buttons. On many of these trucks the security system sits in the ignition, so it may need a relearn procedure after a new key or new ignition parts.
Transponder chip keyIt has a thick black head, no buttons and a security chip inside, and many GMC trucks from around 2007 into the 2010s use one. We cut the blade and program the chip so the engine will start.
Remote head keyThe key and the lock buttons come in one piece, and many Sierras and Canyons from the 2010s use this design. We cut the blade and program both the chip and the buttons.
Smart key with push to startNewer Yukons, Acadias and Terrains use a proximity fob, and so do higher trim Sierras. We program a new fob at the truck and cut the emergency blade hidden inside it.

GMC Models and Their Keys

GMC Sierra

Sierras from 1999 to the mid 2000s use a cut key, and on most of them the security system sits in the ignition. The redesigned Sierra that arrived around 2007 uses a transponder chip key, later Sierras use remote head keys, and higher trims moved to proximity keys with push to start.

GMC Canyon

The first Canyon, built from 2004 to 2012, uses a plain looking cut key on most trucks. The Canyon returned for 2015 with a transponder key, many have a remote head key, and the newest Canyons use push to start on most trims.

GMC Acadia

The first Acadia, from 2007 to 2016, uses a transponder chip key with a separate remote on most trims. The smaller Acadia that arrived for 2017 moved to a proximity smart key with push to start on most trims.

GMC Yukon

Yukons from 2000 to 2006 use a cut key, with the security system in the ignition on most trucks. The 2007 redesign introduced transponder chip keys, and newer Yukons and Yukon Denalis use proximity keys with push to start on most trims.

GMC Terrain

The first Terrain, from 2010 to 2017, uses a flip key with a security chip and a built in remote. The second generation, from 2018, moved to a proximity smart key with push to start on most trims.

GMC Savana

Older Savana vans use a plain cut key, while later ones from around the late 2000s use a transponder key, and many have a remote head key. A large share of Savanas in Las Vegas are fleet vans, and we make their keys right at the yard.

GMC Envoy

The first Envoy, from the late 1990s, uses a plain cut key. The Envoy that ran from 2002 to 2009 uses a cut key with the security system in the ignition on most trucks, and if the security light stays on after a new key, the system needs a relearn, which we perform on site.

4
Test before we go
We start the engine, check the remote and lock the doors to confirm that every part works.

What a GMC Key Costs in Las Vegas

In Las Vegas a GMC transponder key or remote head key with programming is typically $150 to $350, and proximity fobs for push to start GMCs usually cost more than that. A plain cut key for an older Sierra or Savana is usually $50 to $180.

Night, weekend and holiday calls usually add $25 to $75. The biggest price differences on a GMC come from the key type and whether any working key remains, and our price guide covers the details.

Make a Spare Before You Need One

A truck with one key is one lost key away from a wasted workday. Making a spare while the first key still works is faster and less expensive than an all keys lost visit, since we copy a key the truck already recognizes, and our car keys page lists the keys and fobs we make.

Owning a GMC in Las Vegas

GMC trucks in Las Vegas live demanding lives, sitting at job sites in 110 degree heat, getting passed between crew members and parking in dusty yards. Heat drains fob batteries, and shared trucks lose keys, so keep a spare in a lock box or the office. If a key goes missing at a site in North Las Vegas or Henderson, we drive out to the truck.
