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

Here's what you're actually paying for when you replace a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse key. Three things. The physical key or fob with the correct blade and button layout. The precision cut so the blade matches your car's lock. And the transponder programming so the car's immobilizer accepts the new key and lets the engine fire. The dealer charges $274 for those three things. I charge around $111.

A customer on a business trip in Oceanside had her only Chevrolet key stop working at the hotel. The remote was dead, the push-to-start wouldn't respond, and she had meetings the next morning. The dealer told her to tow it in, they could look at it the next afternoon, and quoted $274 plus the tow. She found EZ Car Keyz online and called.

I met her at the hotel lot that evening. Her Transponder Key uses GM's push-to-start proximity system. I connected my VVDI Key Tool to the OBD port and generated a new fob matched to her car's body control module. Her fob, FCC ID , has 3 buttons including remote start.

Component one, the fob: about $40 in my cost. Component two, the emergency blade cut: done in the van. Component three, the programming: 25 minutes through OBD. Her total was $111. The dealer was charging $274 for those same three things plus making her wait a day and arranging a tow.
