1997 Mazda Protege MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
BSIS license LCO#6792 means I passed California's background check, carry active liability insurance, and operate a registered locksmith company. NASTF certification gives me access to factory key codes and immobilizer data that unlicensed operators can't get. Google Guaranteed means Google verified my license and insurance independently.
A public defender at the courthouse parking deck in Oceanside late at night told me she'd checked my license number before calling. She works late and walks to a dark parking structure alone. She wasn't about to hand her car to someone she couldn't verify. She needed a spare for her 1997 Mazda Protege and wanted credentials confirmed before I touched anything.
NASTF access matters on Mazda specifically because it provides factory security data for the keyless module. When I program a key with my ACDP or any of my tools, I'm using authorized data paths, not workarounds that leave fault codes. Her key, FCC ID , was programmed through the correct factory data path with no residual errors.
Her spare cost $95. Dealer quoted $200. You can look up LCO#6792 on the BSIS website right now.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
