2018 Chevrolet Malibu Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was out in De Luz, off one of those long winding roads where the signal drops in and out, and the job was a 2018 Malibu sitting in a driveway with one working fob and an owner who wanted a spare before something went wrong.
She'd already looked into the dealer option. The quote she got had multiple line items: the fob itself, a programming labor charge, and something listed as shop supplies. She couldn't easily get the car there on a weekday anyway, and she didn't want to wait on an ordered part.
I pulled up, popped the OBD port under the dash, and connected my programmer. The Malibu's smart key system needs diagnostic equipment to register a new fob. There's no ignition-turn sequence, no button trick that adds a second key on this one. It has to be done through the port, and the process enrolls the new fob into the vehicle so the old ones still work alongside it.
I cut the blade to her vehicle and ran the programming sequence. Both fobs checked out. Whole thing was done before she finished her coffee.
She saved a good chunk compared to the dealer route, and she didn't have to arrange a drop-off or sit in a waiting room. That's the part that mattered most to her.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
