Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2016 Buick Verano Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was at a show in Fallbrook, over near Bonsall, and her purse walked out with a stranger during the crowd. Phone, wallet, car keys, all of it gone. She borrowed a friend's phone, called the police, then her boyfriend, then me.

Her 2016 Buick Verano was sitting in the venue lot with no way in and no way to start it. She had already called the dealer that morning. They told her it would be several days once the car arrived by tow, and the number they quoted was not close to comfortable.

All-keys-lost on this generation of Buick means the body control module needs to be accessed, the existing key memory cleared, and new keys enrolled from scratch. That part matters most when a key gets stolen: once the memory is wiped, the stolen fob is electronically dead to that car. It cannot unlock the doors or start the engine. I decoded the lock cylinder to get the correct blade cut, cut the replacement blades on site, then ran the programming procedure through the diagnostic port to register two new fobs.

By late morning she had two working keys in her hand and the stolen one was gone from the system. No tow, no waiting several days, done in the venue parking lot while the cleanup crew was still picking up cups. The dealer comparison came up on its own when she saw what she paid.
