SAN ANTONIO TRANSPONDER KEYS

Transponder keys can be a double-edged sword. Transponders, or chip keys, contain a radio chip in the head that sends a code to a receiver in or near the ignition of your car. Unless it's the right code, your car will not start. In some cases, the car will even immobilize. Transponders, which are now used in many mid to high end cars, protect car owners against hot wiring and unauthorized car key duplication.

The downside to these high security chip keys is that they are harder to replace if you lose them. The hardware store certainly can't make you one. But don't call the dealership just yet -- if you can't get into your car, you will have to pay for it to be towed to the dealership, and then pay for the key cutting and special programming on top of the tow. All those fees can make replacing a transponder a pricey business.
