1997 Honda Civic Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Older Honda models with the edge-cut ignition are some of the fastest key jobs I do. The lock is simple to decode, the key blank is simple to cut, and the immobilizer programming on these is the quickest Honda made. A spare when you already have one working can be done in 15 to 20 minutes.

A food truck operator near North Broadway Escondido had his key snap in the ignition of his 1997 Honda Civic early one morning. Half the blade was stuck in the cylinder and the other half was in his hand. He couldn't turn the car off cleanly and was afraid to force it. I could hear the panic in his voice when he called.

I got there and used my HO01 Lishi to extract the broken piece without damaging the ignition wafers. Once it was out clean, I decoded the lock and cut a fresh key from the readings. His car uses a separate remote fob, FCC ID A269ZUA101, so the fob was fine. I just needed to cut and program a new transponder blade. The immobilizer accepted the new chip after one registration cycle.

He was back on the road in under an hour from when he called, and the total bill was $74. A dealer would have charged $168 minimum plus the tow and a multi-day wait. A snapped key at a food lot feels like a disaster. For these older Hondas, it's one of the simplest jobs I run.

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”

“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”

Honda Civic Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How long does the Honda dealer take for key replacement?
Longer than you would think for a job that takes minutes of actual programming time. Honda owners report 1.5 to 3 hours at the dealer for a key replacement visit. One owner spent 3 hours at a Honda dealer and paid 135 only to leave with a non-working key. Honda service departments typically book 1 to 2 hour slots for key work, but by the time you check in, wait for a tech, and sit through paperwork, the real door-to-door time is often much longer. If fob stock is an issue, add days to a week before they even start.
