Question 1

Are you licensed and insured to work on Honda vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, which is the state body that regulates automotive locksmiths here. We carry full liability insurance. You can ask for the license number before we arrive and verify it directly with the state. On a 1995 Del Sol specifically, the job is key cutting and lock work, no access to manufacturer security databases required, but our credentials and background checks are in order regardless of what the job calls for.

Question 2

How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Accepted Answer

Fair question, and a real problem in this industry. The pattern with scam operations is always the same: a low number on the phone, then a much bigger number once they are in your driveway and you feel stuck. Ask for a license number, a company name you can search, and a firm written price before anyone shows up. We give you a real quote for your specific vehicle on the call, arrive in a marked van, and the price does not move. For a 1995 Del Sol, the job is also simple enough that there should be no surprises to hide behind.

Question 3

Will the replacement key work exactly like my original?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 1995 Del Sol uses a mechanical key, so the replacement is a metal key cut to your vehicle's lock profile. Once it is cut correctly, it operates the ignition, door locks, and any other locks on the car. We test it in all of them before we leave. No programming, no enrollment step, nothing to wait on. If the key turns in the ignition but feels tight in the door, that usually just means the door cylinder has some wear. We check for that and address it on the spot.

Question 4

I only have one key for my Del Sol and I am nervous about losing it. Can I get a spare cut without going to a dealer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and this is the right time to do it, while you still have the original to copy from. With a working key in hand, cutting a spare is fast. We come to you in Solana Beach, copy the cut on the spot, and you leave with a backup. The Del Sol's key is a standard mechanical cut, which means any competent locksmith with the right blank and equipment can duplicate it. You do not need a dealer for this.

Getting a spare made now is also just cheaper and easier than the all-keys-lost route later. Losing the last key on a 30-year-old car sometimes means more lock work to decode or rekey, depending on the condition of the cylinders. A spare costs a lot less than that situation.

Question 5

The key goes in fine but the ignition feels stiff or the key is getting hard to turn. Is that a locksmith problem or a mechanic problem?

Accepted Answer

Locksmith problem, and a common one on 30-year-old Hondas. Ignition cylinders wear. The wafers inside can get sticky or worn, and the key starts to feel like it is fighting you. Sometimes a worn key blank is also the culprit, especially if you have been running a copy of a copy for years and the cuts have drifted slightly from the original profile.

Before assuming the cylinder needs replacing, it is worth having a fresh key cut directly from the lock's code or by decoding the original. A clean, accurate cut on a fresh blank can make a noticeable difference. If the cylinder itself is worn past the point of reliable operation, that is a cylinder rekey or replacement job, still in locksmith territory.
