Lost all of my FOB keys, what to do now?

I lost both of my FOB keys to my 2017 Volt, what to do to get a replacement? Can't drive my car. I think I dropped my last FOB key when I jogged for miles. Tried looking for it by retracing my path, couldn't find it, there were too many people, so someone could have picked it up.

Will I have to tow the car to the dealer for reprogramming for a replacement or shall I just bring my documents and they can do the reprogramming on the key? I can open the car with an app but no option to start it. Only precondition, lock and unlock, alarm... No remote start.

Go to page 34 of your owner's manual to see the 30 minute procedure for pairing a new fob to your car. Buy a fob and bring it home and do that.

There was a serial number with keys when sold. Check your glove box and purchase docs. This is used for ordering the metal key to unlock the door if the battery is dead.

Locking the barn after the horse is gone is not help. I imagine he is already pissed enough at losing the fobs so telling him he screwed the pooch isn't going to change anything.
