2004 Mazda Miata Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was near the Casa de Oro area of La Mesa when her purse was grabbed from a shopping cart. Keys, wallet, phone, gone. She borrowed a phone from a nearby store clerk, called her husband, then the police, then me.

Her 2004 Miata was sitting at home with zero keys. The Mazda dealer told her husband they could get a key ordered, but it would take days plus a tow to verify ownership and cut it at the shop. The estimate they gave was not small.

I got there that evening. Because this was a theft situation, the husband wanted two keys made so they had a spare going forward. The Miata runs a mechanical key, so the job was decoding the lock and cutting both keys to match. No module, no programming, no countdown timer. I decoded the lock cylinder, cut two keys, tested both in the ignition and both door locks, and was done before the police finished the report across town.

She drove home that night. The dealer route would have meant a tow, a wait, and a bill that was a lot more than what I charged for two keys made on site.

There was nothing complicated about the key itself. The complicated part was the day she had.
