Jeep Cherokee Key Replacement: Key Types by Year
Cherokee key setups vary by year and trim. We confirm the exact key your vehicle needs using its year, trim and VIN before we begin.
Our Jeep key replacement service is mobile. The key cutting machine is in our van, and we cut keys on site.
About 1998–2001: Chip key
Cherokees from this period use a chip key. If you need a spare or a replacement, we check the vehicle details and match the key to its setup.
About 2014–2020 keyed versions: Chip key
Keyed versions use a chip key, while many trims from these years have push-to-start. The trim and VIN help us identify which type your Cherokee uses.
Newer models: Fob-style or push-to-start smart key
Newer Cherokees may use a fob-style key or a push-to-start smart key. The exact setup can vary, so we confirm the right replacement for your vehicle before cutting or programming.

Common Jeep Cherokee Key and Fob Problems
Key concerns can have different causes, and the right solution depends on your Cherokee’s key type. We check the vehicle details before choosing the replacement or service needed.
Lost or missing keys
When every key is lost, owners need a replacement that matches the vehicle’s system. We can work at the car and confirm the exact key from the year, trim and VIN.
A spare is needed
If you have one working key and want a spare, we can cut another key on site. Let us know which keys you currently have when you call.
A fob or smart key does not work
A fob that no longer works may need replacement or programming, depending on the setup. We check the vehicle and key type before proceeding.
Keys locked inside the vehicle
A lockout can keep you from getting into your Cherokee even when the key is nearby. We provide mobile help at the vehicle.
What to Have Ready When You Call
A few vehicle details help us identify the right key and prepare for the visit. You do not need to bring the Cherokee to a storefront; we come to its location.
- Share the year and trim — Tell us the Cherokee’s model year and trim. These details help distinguish a keyed ignition from a fob-style or push-to-start setup.
- Have the VIN available — We confirm the exact key by year, trim and VIN. Having the VIN ready helps us check which key type is appropriate for your vehicle.
- Describe what you need and where the car is — Tell us whether you need a spare, lost-key replacement, fob programming or lockout help. Share the vehicle’s location in Gaithersburg or elsewhere in Montgomery County so we can provide mobile service.
