1998 Jeep Cherokee MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

No key at all? I get these calls all the time. A lot of Jeep owners only ever had one key to begin with, so when it's gone, it's gone. I build a new one from scratch right at the vehicle. No original needed.

A weekend camper at the campsite overflow lot outside Encinitas lost his only key somewhere between the tent and the parking area early one morning. He checked everywhere, retraced his steps twice, and came up with nothing. His 1998 Jeep Cherokee was sitting in the dirt lot and he figured it was stuck there until he could arrange a tow on Monday. I told him I could be there that afternoon.

I used my SIP22 Lishi to pick his door open and decoded every wafer position for exact cut depths. Then I connected through OBD and ran the Jeep all-keys-lost sequence, which clears any previous keys from the wireless control module and learns the new fob as primary. His MECHANICAL-KEY, FCC ID , was cut, programmed, and tested right there in the dirt. I cut him a spare too.

His Jeep started in the campsite lot. Total was around $95. Dealer wanted $200 plus a tow and a weekday appointment.

“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.”

“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”

Jeep Cherokee Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost all my Jeep keys. Can you still make a new one?
Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the more complex calls on Jeep vehicles because newer models use a secured gateway that blocks generic tools and requires professional grade equipment to access. We gain security access, erase any old keys from the system, and program new ones so the lost keys no longer start the car. A locksmith described doing a Jeep AKL job in 45 minutes to an hour and a half including setup. Dealers will tell you to tow the car in and wait days or weeks. We come to you and handle the entire job on site.
