1995 Buick Regal Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy over near the Encanto Border side of Lemon Grove called me about his 1995 Buick Regal. He'd been driving on a worn-down spare for months after losing his main key, and the spare had gotten so thin it was starting to slip in the ignition. The car would crank sometimes and just click other times. He was convinced the ignition cylinder was shot.

I drove out to him. He was parked behind a strip of businesses off the main drag, standing next to the Regal looking tired about the whole thing.

I pulled the key code by decoding the door lock cylinder right there on the street. That's the cleanest way to do it on a car this age when you don't have the original. Cut a fresh key on the correct blank, handed it to him, and he turned it over on the first try. Smooth, no hesitation.

The ignition was fine. The old spare had just worn down enough that it wasn't fully engaging the tumblers. A key that matches the actual code makes all the difference.

He'd called a dealer earlier in the week. They wanted him to tow it in, which would have meant a whole day and a bill that was a fraction of what I charged him, paid by him to a tow company before the dealer even looked at it. He saved a good chunk by just calling me first.
