This not only takes extra money to pay for the towing and the expensive dealer car key replacement, but it also can take days. Apex Lock and Key is a local locksmith company that can travel to a location convenient to you and make brand new keys for your Volkswagen.

Evolution of Volkswagen Car Keys

The first Volkswagen car was designed and manufactured in 1930, however Volkswagen cars did not go into mass production until 1945. Volkswagen used a simple metal key until the early 2000s and then switched to using keys with a chip. A rule of thumb for figuring out if your Volkswagen key has a chip is to see if the key has a plastic cap and the car is made after the year 2000. Now the modern day Volkswagen cars use smart remotes that allow keyless entry and push to start ignitions. All modern Volkswagen cars now have an immobilizer that helps prevent auto-theft.
