1998 Buick Century Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Do you need to tow your 1998 Buick Century to a dealer? Probably not. For newer GM-platform Buicks, I handle all-keys-lost right at the car using OBD programming through the BCM. For older PK3 models, AKL uses the 30-minute theft relearn at the ignition. Both are fully mobile.
A third-shift warehouse worker in Rancho Bernardo had his only key die at home late at night. His Century was in the driveway with a smart key system and no fob the car would detect. He assumed a tow was his only option. The nearest dealer was 25 miles away. I told him to stay put and that I'd come to him.
I connected my Smart Pro to OBD and ran the all-keys-lost security access. His Remote, FCC ID ABO0204T, was a 4-button proximity fob that I programmed in his driveway at midnight. He seemed pretty surprised it could happen right there.
His total was about $95. A dealer 25 miles away would have been $200 plus the tow. Here's the honest part. On some older Buick models where the BCM is locked or corrupted, AKL can require pulling the module and doing bench work, which adds time and cost. I'll tell you upfront which type of job your specific model requires.

Buick Keys: From Panic to Five Stars
Emergency rescues that earned five stars
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
