2011 Chevrolet Corvette Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy in Bostonia, over in El Cajon, around 9 at night. He was in a parking structure, pretty wound up. His only key to his 2011 Corvette was gone. Checked every pocket, the floor of the car, retraced his steps through the garage. Nothing. He had no spare, no idea what his VIN was, and was already looking up tow truck numbers.

I slowed him down on the phone. Told him to look at the base of the windshield on the driver's side. He found the VIN. Then I had him pull up his insurance app for the registration to confirm ownership. With those two things confirmed, I knew exactly what I was coming with before I left.

That VIN told me the key system, what fob body to build, and what the programming sequence was going to look like. I loaded up the right fob shell with the correct battery and brought the diagnostic equipment to pair it to his immobilizer. Did the whole job under the parking structure lights while he stood there watching.

By the time I was done testing every button and confirming the car would start cleanly, he had visibly settled down. He went from tow truck mode to driving home. That is the thing about all-keys-lost jobs: people expect them to be a multi-day ordeal. The dealer would have been closed, and getting the car there would have meant a tow and waiting until morning anyway. He drove out that night.

Text me your VIN before I arrive. Every time someone does that, the job runs faster. I already know what to bring and the wait goes down for both of us.
