The best time to get a spare key made is before the original is lost, not after. With a working key already available, a spare can usually be cut and programmed faster and cheaper than an all-keys-lost replacement, and it's done wherever the car is parked.
Why having a spare matters
A spare key sitting at home or with a family member turns a stressful lockout into a five-minute fix. It also gives a backup if the primary key's fob buttons wear out or the transponder chip fails, without needing an emergency same-day appointment.

How spare cutting differs from replacement
Because the original key is present, the immobilizer system typically doesn't need a full reset — the new key is simply added to the list of authorized keys already stored in the car's computer, which is quicker and generally less expensive than an all-keys-lost job.
- Original key used to confirm blank type instantly
- Faster programming since the immobilizer isn't being reset
- Option to cut a mechanical-only spare for glovebox storage

Choosing what kind of spare to get
A full fob spare duplicates every function of the original, while a simpler mechanical-only key can unlock the door and start the car on many models without remote features, which makes sense depends on the vehicle and how the spare will be used.

Answers
Spare Car Key FAQ
Common questions about spare car key Indianapolis in the Indianapolis area.
Is a spare key cheaper to make than a full replacement?
Usually yes, since having the original key on hand means the immobilizer doesn't need a full reset, and the new key is simply added to the existing authorized list.
Can I get a basic key without all the fob buttons?
On many vehicles yes, a mechanical-only or basic transponder key can start the car and unlock the door manually without the remote lock/unlock/trunk buttons.
Where should I keep a spare key?
Somewhere separate from your primary key and vehicle — with a trusted family member, at home, or in a lockbox — so a lost purse or stolen car doesn't take out both keys at once.
Can a spare be made from a copy instead of the original?
It's better to cut from the original where possible, since copies of copies can carry forward small cutting inaccuracies that cause the key to bind over time.
Do I need an appointment or can this be done same day?
Spare key cutting can usually be scheduled same day since it doesn't require the more involved all-keys-lost programming procedure.
