Honda owners are everywhere in Austin metro. Civics and CR-Vs pack UT-adjacent parking around Hyde Park. Pilots and Odysseys fill Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Round Rock school pickup lines. The Accord is the default choice for the 183A and Mopac commute corridors. Honda key losses happen in parking garages near campus, at Zilker Park trailhead lots, and in H-E-B parking lots across 78613 and 78660. WOW Locks programs Honda transponder keys and smart fobs on-site across the Austin metro with no dealer required and no tow.

Can you replace a Honda key when all keys are lost?
Yes. All-keys-lost Honda service is available across Austin including Cedar Park (78613), Pflugerville (78660), Hyde Park, and Round Rock. The immobilizer key deletion and new key programming are handled in the same on-site session. Identity verification required: driver's license matched to vehicle registration. See the automotive locksmith hub for the full range of services.
Do you service the Honda ProKey or Digital Key?
We service the Honda ProKey (smart key/push-to-start fob) for 2017 and newer Honda models. The Honda Digital Key NFC system, introduced on select 2022 and newer Civic and Accord models, uses near-field communication and is currently dealer-only programming. We disclose this before dispatch if your model uses the Digital Key system. Most 2017 to 2022 Honda smart keys are fully locksmith-programmable on-site.
How long does an on-site Honda key replacement take?
For a transponder key (1998 to 2016 models), cutting and programming takes 20 to 35 minutes on-site. For a ProKey smart fob (2017+ models), programming takes 30 to 50 minutes. All-keys-lost adds 5 to 10 minutes for the immobilizer deletion step. Total time from first call to driving: typically 40 to 75 minutes depending on your location in the Austin metro.
What is the cost compared to the Honda dealer?
A 2018 Honda Civic transponder key: $180 total at WOW Locks versus $280 to $400 plus a potential tow at the dealer. A 2021 Honda CR-V ProKey smart fob: $270 to $320 at WOW Locks versus $400 to $600 plus tow at the dealer. Programming is included in the WOW Locks rate. The full rate card is at /pricing/.
