2003 Kia RIO MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
She was at a shopping center patio in La Mesa when her purse disappeared. Someone grabbed it off the back of her chair. Car keys, wallet, phone. She borrowed a friend's phone and called the police, then her daughter, then me.
Her 2003 Kia RIO was in the lot with zero keys. The dealer told her daughter 3 to 5 business days, tow it in, and recommended an immobilizer reset since the stolen fob could still start the car. Combined estimate over $700.
I got there that evening. All-keys-lost after a theft means I wipe the entire key memory so the stolen fob is electronically dead to the car. I used my IM608 to access the immobilizer, erase all old key data, and program two new keys from scratch. Her smart key, FCC ID , was a 3-button proximity fob. I decoded the lock, cut the emergency blade, and had both fobs working before the police called back.
She drove home that night. Total was $95 for two keys. Dealer estimated $200 plus a tow and a multi-day wait. The stolen fob can still physically open the door but the immobilizer won't let it start.

“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.”
“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“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.”
