Pontiac closed after 2010, but plenty of Pontiacs still drive the streets of Las Vegas every day. We cut and program Pontiac keys at your car, day or night, whether it is a classic GTO, a Firebird, or a late model G6.

Locked out, or lost the only key to an older car? Our vehicle lockouts service gets you back inside, and we can make a key from the lock itself when no copy is left.

No dealer leftWith Pontiac gone, a mobile locksmith is often the easiest and fastest way to get a replacement key.
Resistor pellet keysSome Pontiacs from the 1980s and 1990s use a key with a small pellet that must match the car.
Theft system in the lockMany late 1990s and 2000s Pontiacs keep the theft system inside the ignition rather than the key.
Classic car careOld GTOs and Firebirds get plain metal keys cut carefully to their original locks.

Which Pontiac Key Do You Have?

Pontiac keys went from plain metal keys, to resistor pellet keys on certain cars, to chip keys on the final models before the brand closed.

Plain cut keyThis all metal key was used on classic Pontiacs and on many later cars as well, and since it only needs cutting, the replacement cost stays low.
Resistor pellet keyLook closely at the blade and you will see a small colored pellet near the head. The car reads that pellet's value, so we identify it before cutting your new key.
Cut key with theft system in the ignitionOn many late 1990s and 2000s Pontiacs, the key itself is plain while the ignition contains the theft system. If the car will not start with a good key, the problem may be inside the ignition.
Chip keyThe last Pontiacs, including most G6s, use a key with a transponder chip that is cut to the locks and then programmed so the engine will run.

Pontiac Models and Their Keys

Pontiac GTO

The classic GTO from the 1960s and 1970s uses a plain cut key with no electronics, while the modern GTO sold from 2004 to 2006 is a completely different car with a different key, so we check it by VIN before cutting.

Pontiac Firebird

Older Firebirds use plain cut keys, some cars from the late 1980s and 1990s use a resistor pellet key, and later Firebirds keep the theft system inside the ignition instead.

Pontiac Grand Am

Most Grand Ams use a plain cut key that only needs cutting, and from the late 1990s onward many had a theft system in the ignition rather than a chip in the key.

Pontiac Sunfire

The Sunfire was sold from the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s as a compact car, and most use a plain cut key, with the theft system built into the ignition.

Pontiac Bonneville

Older Bonnevilles use plain cut keys, some 1990s cars use a resistor pellet key, and later Bonnevilles rely on a theft system inside the ignition.

Pontiac Grand Prix

Older Grand Prixs use plain cut keys, some 1990s cars carry a resistor pellet in the blade, and later cars use a cut key with the theft system in the ignition.

Pontiac G6

The G6 was sold from about 2005 to 2010 as one of the final Pontiacs, and most G6s use a chip key that has to be programmed after cutting.

Make a Spare Before You Need One

Pontiac parts get harder to find every year, so a spare key is worth having in a drawer. Copying a working key is quick, while making one from a worn lock after the last key is lost takes longer and costs more. Get a spare now through our car keys service.

Owning a Pontiac in Las Vegas

Older Pontiacs in Las Vegas tend to be second cars, weekend project cars or dependable old commuters. Constant sun and heat crack aging key heads and wear down tired locks. If your Pontiac key is getting hard to turn, a fresh cut key now can save you from a stuck ignition later, so contact us whenever it suits you.
