🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 Subaru Impreza runs a mechanical key with no transponder, no remote, no fob. Just a metal key cut to the lock. That means a replacement is a pure cutting job: decode the existing lock or pull the key code and cut a new blade to match. No programming, no module access, no wait times. If you have a working key, I can duplicate it on the spot. If you're down to zero keys, I decode your door or ignition cylinder and cut from that. The whole job is mechanical start to finish.

1998 Subaru Impreza Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

There's a boarding facility near Otay Ranch, and a guy who uses it regularly had been watching key replacement videos online before he ever needed a locksmith. He'd seen enough of the process that when his 1998 Impreza key finally gave out before a vacation trip, he already knew what to do and who to call.

He met me in the parking lot with his dog still in tow. The key had worn down over the years to the point where it was skipping in the ignition cylinder, catching sometimes and not others. Classic wear on a twenty-plus-year-old key on a car that had clearly been used hard and maintained honestly.

I decoded the ignition cylinder and cut a fresh replacement blade to match. No computer, no scan tool, no waiting for a module to time out. Just the key cut right, tested in the ignition, tested in both doors. It turned clean every time.

He was back on the road in under twenty minutes. The dealer would have told him to bring it in and wait, and for a job like this, that's just not necessary.

“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”

“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”

Subaru Impreza Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost all my keys to my 1998 Impreza. Can you still make a new one?
Yes, and on a 1998 Impreza this is one of the cleaner all-keys-lost jobs out there. Because this generation uses a mechanical key with no transponder system to reset, the work is entirely about cutting a key that matches your locks. I decode the ignition cylinder or a door lock on site, cut the key blade to that specification, and test it in every lock. No towing required, no module work, no countdown timers. You end up with a working key cut to your vehicle, done in a single visit.
Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?
How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take on a 1998 Impreza?
My ignition turns but the engine cranks and immediately dies on my 1998 Impreza. Is that a key problem?
Can I just copy my worn 1998 Impreza key at a hardware store?
