1996 Jeep Cherokee Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was parked off Torrey Pines Road when the call came in. A guy had driven down from LA for a morning trail run, left his only key in the cupholder, and shut the door on a 1996 Cherokee XJ that decided right then to lock itself. No spare at home, no fob, no remote entry of any kind. Just him, his trail shoes, and a locked Jeep sitting in the sun.
I got there in under twenty minutes.
The Cherokee XJ is one of my favorite lockout calls. The door lock cylinder on these is accessible, and with the right tools I had him in without touching the paint. Then came the key question. He only ever had one key, had it for years, and wanted a spare made right there so this never happened again.
I decoded the existing key right off the lock cylinder and cut a fresh copy on my machine in the van. He stood there watching, which I actually prefer. No mystery, no waiting room, no "we'll call you when it's ready."
He made his trailhead. I was back on Torrey Pines Road before the marine layer burned off. The dealer would have needed the car dropped off, a day or more to cut a spare, and the tow he almost called for would have cost more than my whole bill.

What Same-Day Jeep Service Sounds Like
What quick turnaround sounds like
“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
