1996 Dodge Neon Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy at the youth sports fields near Alpine Village. He coaches football out there, and his 1996 Neon was sitting in the lot with no key. Not lost exactly -- the key had snapped off at the bow, the thin part right where you grip it, and the broken piece was still in his pocket. The blade half was somewhere in the ignition.

That last part is the part that matters. Broken key extraction on a worn ignition cylinder is delicate work. You push too hard and you pack the fragment deeper. I came out to the lot, worked the extraction with the right tools, and pulled the blade piece clean without touching the cylinder walls.

After that, cutting a replacement was the easy part. I decoded the lock, cut a fresh key to match, and tested it in both the door and the ignition before I packed up.

He asked what happens if the key gives him trouble down the road. I told him what I tell everyone -- if something I did fails, I come back. No runaround, no fee, same van, same person. He had kids and gear to move that afternoon and he was back to it. That is the whole job.
