Subaru Key Replacement in Boston

Subarus are disproportionately popular across New England and our technicians are called out to them far more often here than the national sales figures would ever suggest, with Outbacks, Foresters and Crosstreks arriving on the schedule constantly.

Subaru Models We Make Keys For

Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Ascent, Impreza, Legacy, WRX, BRZ and Solterra.

How Subaru Keys Are Registered

Subaru runs a transponder immobilizer, with recent vehicles using proximity fobs and push button start. Programming is carried out through the diagnostic port, and on a great many model years the system insists that every key is registered together in a single session rather than one at a time as other manufacturers allow.

Bring Every Fob, Including the One in the Drawer

Because of that requirement, gather every fob you own before our technician arrives, including any spare sitting forgotten in a kitchen drawer. Subaru drivers also spend more time outdoors than most, and fobs damaged by water at trailheads, beaches and ski parking lots are a genuinely common reason for the call rather than an unusual one.

Roof Boxes, Bike Racks and Winter Salt

Many Subarus in this area carry roof boxes and bike racks fitted with their own locks, and a number of those accessory locks can be rekeyed to match your vehicle key, which is worth doing while our technician is already on site with the equipment out. Road salt and winter moisture also take a heavy toll here, so a door lock that has felt stiff since January deserves attention before the coldest morning of the year arrives.

Subaru keys are cut, programmed and tested at the vehicle, and every fob you own is registered in the same visit. Call (781) 928-8161 and bring the spare from the drawer.
