How to Replace a Lost Key for Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The service station requires the vehicle and the owner's ID documents. Depending on the model, the service station may also require the owner to provide the 17-digit anti-theft password for key programming. Depending on the model, the locks that need to be replaced vary. If replacing the entire set of locks, more locks will need to be changed.
Just helped my neighbor deal with a lost Buick Excelle key yesterday. My advice is to go to a 4S shop or a large auto parts market immediately. You must bring the vehicle registration certificate and the original ID card of the owner (this is super important). The 4S shop will check the VIN to match a new key. Don’t try to save money by going to a small stall—the Excelle key has an anti-theft chip, and only professional equipment can decode it. The cost at a 4S shop is around 1200 yuan, and it takes about half an hour to make the key. Auto parts markets can do it for 800 yuan, but make sure to choose a shop that specializes in Buick. After getting the key, have the technician test the remote locking/unlocking and ignition functions. Finally, make sure to deactivate the lost key’s chip for security.
