Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2015 Chevrolet Traverse Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from a couple in Downtown IB, older folks, home on a quiet street a few blocks from the pier. Their 2015 Traverse was sitting in the driveway and they wanted a spare key cut before their only one gave out completely.

They were upfront about it: neither of them was comfortable driving the freeway anymore, and the nearest Chevy dealer was a solid stretch of highway away. Getting there wasn't just inconvenient, it was genuinely not going to happen without help from someone else.

I pulled up that morning and got set up in the driveway. The Traverse takes a transponder key, so the job had two parts: decode the existing key to verify the blade cut, then cut and program the new one. I decoded off the lock, cut a fresh key blade on the spot, and programmed the transponder through the OBD port. Ran a quick confirm cycle to make sure the immobilizer accepted it, tested both keys in the ignition, and handed them over.

They had a working spare before lunch. They didn't make a single phone call to arrange a ride, didn't wait for a service bay, didn't get quoted a number that made them hesitate. The dealer was an afterthought by the time I was packing up.

That's the job. Come to them, do the work in the driveway, leave them better off than I found them.
