Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from a warehouse worker in Carlsbad, over near Bressi Ranch, at ten minutes to six in the morning. Shift started at six.

His 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier had a cracked key, and the blade end had snapped off inside the ignition while he was trying to leave for work. He could not pull it, could not turn it, and could not be late. You could hear the clock ticking in his voice.

I keep the van loaded and ready early for exactly this reason. I was there in under twenty minutes.

Extraction first. I worked the broken piece out of the cylinder carefully, making sure not to push it deeper. Once the cylinder was clear, I decoded it right there and cut him a fresh key to match. The whole job, from parking the van to handing him a working key, took about twenty-five minutes.

I cut him a second copy on the spot and told him to keep it somewhere other than his keyring. One spare key costs almost nothing compared to a repeat of the morning he just had.

He clocked in late but not by much. The dealer would have meant a tow truck, a wait for the service department to open, and most of a workday gone. He saved a serious chunk and kept his job that morning. That is the kind of call where showing up fast is the whole difference.
