Question 1

Are you licensed and insured to work on Subaru vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is a California BSIS licensed locksmith company (LCO#6792), fully insured, and carries professional certification for vehicle security work. Subaru key programming is not a commodity job. It takes specific equipment, current software, and familiarity with how the immobilizer on these vehicles behaves when something goes sideways mid-sequence. We have been doing this work for over eight years under a real business name with verifiable reviews. You can look us up before you call.

Question 2

How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Accepted Answer

Scam locksmiths hit Subaru calls hard because the work is legitimately technical and owners are often stuck and stressed. The pattern is always the same: a low number quoted on the phone, then a very different number once they are at the car, usually with the immobilizer blamed for the difference.

EZ Car Keyz has over 100,000 followers across YouTube and TikTok. You can watch us do this exact category of work before you ever pick up the phone. We give you a firm price when you call, we show up in a marked vehicle, and that price does not move when we get there.

Question 3

Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 2014 WRX uses a transponder turn-key, so what we are delivering is a blade cut to your vehicle and a transponder chip enrolled to your immobilizer. When I hand it back, the engine has already started with it. That is the test that matters on this system. Crank-and-die after a key job means the transponder did not enroll correctly, and I have seen that happen when someone rushes the sequence or skips verifying the immobilizer accepted the new key. We do not leave until the car starts and runs normally.

Question 4

My 2014 WRX cranks but immediately stalls every time I try to start it. Could this be a key or immobilizer problem?

Accepted Answer

That crank-and-immediately-stall pattern is one of the clearest signs the vehicle security system is not recognizing the key. The engine fires on the mechanical side, then the immobilizer cuts it back down within a second or two. On the 2014 WRX, this shows up when the transponder chip inside the key head is damaged, when the key is worn and the chip has shifted, or after an incomplete programming attempt like a power interruption mid-sequence.

First thing I check is whether a known-good spare key starts the car cleanly. If the spare works and the primary does not, you have a key issue, not a car issue. If neither key works, or there is no spare, that points toward the immobilizer needing a reset and fresh programming. Either way it is diagnosable on site. I bring the tools to read fault codes and run a clean enrollment, so I am not guessing at the cause.

Question 5

I only have one key for my 2014 WRX. Is it worth getting a spare cut and programmed before something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

Strongly worth it. Single-key situations on the 2014 WRX get expensive fast the moment that one key stops working or goes missing. An all-keys-lost job takes more time and more equipment than adding a spare while a working key is present. Getting a second key made now is quicker, simpler, and costs less than recovering from a zero-key situation later. WRX owners put their cars through more than average daily-driver use, and a key that lives on a loaded ring or gets carried into track days takes wear faster than most.
