The dealership where you purchased your Subaru is the best place to purchase a new key if it’s lost or damaged. But if the car has an remote key/fob that has chip that requires programming, it’s best to visit an automotive locksmith.
This is due to the fact that there is only a limited amount of codes, and the dealer may need to replace the ignition.

Replace ignition switch or lock Cylinder
If you’re not able to turn the ignition switch or your Subaru key fob isn’t working then you might need an upgrade to your ignition. It can be expensive and will require a trip to a locksmith shop or a dealer.
If you’ve never encountered any issues with your key battery or if the power locks on your car function, it could be something else. If your key turns more than it did previously, you may need an upgrade to the ignition coil.
Immobilizers are a feature of most modern subaru car key keys. They prevent your car from being started by a key that was stolen, or a key that has not been programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer is a tiny microchip on the key that sends a signal to the vehicle that it’s an authentic key. This helps to avoid theft and other issues. Our #StockerSubaru dealer suggests an entry level key that doesn’t include the transmitter if you want to replace a Subaru key with an immobilizer.
In the past you could have a copy of your traditional metal key created at an area locksmith or hardware store. But modern Subaru vehicles have sophisticated computers that control the engine and key. Therefore, you should use a qualified technician that has the tools and software to do the job. You’ll also require the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), registration papers, your ID, and proof of insurance in order to get an replacement key.
Key duplication
Key duplicate is the process of creating an identical copy of a key. You can duplicate a normal metal key at a local hardware store or locksmith that has the necessary equipment. You can also make it yourself with a drill or a file. You’ll also need a blank key that’s in line with your desired design and a key of exactly the same size as your original key. The key is placed on the opposite side of a duplicator and a blade that cuts into the blank creates duplicates. The key is then sanded to create a smooth finish.
The usual method is to use a file but this can take some time and patience to obtain an acceptable copy. If you’re using a document, make sure the teeth of the file are more rounded than sharp to make sure they won’t damage the lock cylinder. You could also use a drill when you don’t have the key cutter, but it’s a lot more complicated and time-consuming than merely using the file.
A lot of modern cars have security features that make it difficult to duplicate. Some of them are equipped with chipped keys that send a signal to the car when the right key is in proximity. If your car needs chipped keys, it is recommended that you visit a locksmith instead of trying to duplicate it at home.

It’s an excellent idea to purchase an extra Subaru Key prior to the time you need it. It’s less expensive and easier than having to repair or replace the original. It’s better to purchase an extra key from a dealer, as it’ll be covered by warranty and come with a key that’s compatible with the specific car you have.
It’s more expensive to go to an auto shop or locksmith shop than to have a dealership make you a brand new car key. Also, the dealer will require your VIN and the original registration and title to prove ownership. The dealer may charge more when the ignition has been changed in the past.
