2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Coronado Shores on a weeknight is quiet in a specific way. The kind of quiet where a parking lot feels bigger than it is, and standing next to a car you can't start makes the whole thing feel worse than it probably is.

He called around 10pm. His only key was gone. He'd checked his pockets twice, looked on the floor of the car through the window, retraced the last hour in his head, and came up empty. He was already thinking about a tow just to get the car somewhere. He wasn't panicked exactly, but he was close.

I slowed him down on the phone. Told him to look at the lower driver's side of the windshield and read me the VIN. He found it. His insurance app had the registration too, which confirmed the same number. That was all I needed. I knew the key type before I left my van, pulled the right blank, and had everything prepped for the job.

The 2007 Lancer takes a remote head key, so the transponder and the remote are one piece. I built it on site, cut the blade to his vehicle, programmed the transponder to his immobilizer, and synced the remote functions. Done under the parking lot lights while he watched. He tested every button before I packed up.

He drove home. The dealer was closed, and even if they weren't, he was looking at a tow on top of everything else, plus waiting days for a parts order. He paid a fraction of that, same night. The VIN he read me over the phone was what made it fast. Text it before I arrive and I'll be even more ready.
