1997 Jeep Wrangler Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out near the Naval Base Area in Coronado, a guy had just picked up a used 1997 Wrangler TJ from a small lot. One key. The lot said get a spare made anywhere, no big deal.
He went to the Jeep dealer first. They quoted him a price that made him stop and think. For a plain metal key. No electronics, no programming, nothing fancy. Just a cut blade. He found me online and asked if that was really what it cost.
I met him near the taco shop before he was done eating. The TJ from this era takes a standard mechanical key cut to the vehicle. No transponder, no immobilizer enrollment, nothing to program. I decoded the existing key, matched the blank, and cut a new spare on site.
He held both keys up, looked at them, and said something like, "That's it?" That's it. Sometimes the job is exactly what it looks like. He drove off with a working spare and paid a fraction of what the dealer wanted, mostly because I wasn't charging him for a service bay he never sat in.

From lost keys to happy customers
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
