2010 Chevrolet Express Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

It was just before 6 in the morning when the call came in from a job site off Spring Valley, right in the Casa de Oro area. Warehouse worker, shift starting in ten minutes, and his key blade had snapped off inside the ignition of his 2010 Chevrolet Express. Not bent. Snapped. You could hear the foreman in the background already calling names.

I had the van loaded and was rolling in a few minutes. By the time I pulled up, he was standing outside in the dark with a phone flashlight aimed at the ignition column like that was going to help.

I used a Lishi pick and decoder to extract the broken blade from the cylinder without pulling the column apart. Once the bore was clear, I decoded the cut from the lock itself, cut a new key blade to match, and programmed the transponder to the van on site. Tested it cold, tested it twice. Engine came up clean.

I handed him a second programmed key and told him to put it somewhere that isn't his pocket. He nodded like he'd heard that before and probably hadn't listened the first time either.

He clocked in about thirty minutes late, which his foreman apparently let slide. Dealer would have meant a tow, a service appointment, and most of a workday gone. He got back to work the same morning for a fraction of what that would have cost him.
