1997 Kia Sportage Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out in South Poway, I got a call from a guy who had been driving his 1997 Sportage for years with the same worn-down key. He said it would stick in the ignition and he had to wiggle it just right to get it out. His spare had gone missing at some point, so he was down to one key that was getting harder to trust every week.
He was parked outside a shop off Scripps Poway Parkway when he called. The key had finally given him enough trouble that he didn't want to risk shutting the car off.
I got there and pulled the existing key. The cuts were worn enough that a fresh copy from it alone would have been marginal. I decoded the lock cylinder instead, got a clean reading, and cut a new key blade to match. Then I cut a second one while I was at it, because a single key on a 27-year-old vehicle is a situation waiting to repeat itself.
Both keys worked clean in the ignition and both door locks. No wiggling, no coaxing.
He had been thinking he might need a dealer to look at the ignition. The dealer visit never happened.

From lost keys to happy customers
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
