2002 Volkswagen Jetta Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A vet assistant finishing a late shift somewhere off the main strip in Downtown La Mesa walked out to the employee lot close to 10pm. Her 2002 Jetta flip key would not turn the ignition. Not a dead battery. Not a bad fob. The blade went in and just sat there, stiff.
The dealer was closed. The earliest slot was days out. She needed to get home that night.
I was on-site before 11. First thing I did was check the immobilizer through the OBD port to confirm the transponder was still recognized by the vehicle. It was. The security side was healthy. The problem was mechanical, a seized wafer inside the ignition cylinder that had been slowly tightening up for months and finally gave out on a cool night when the metal contracted just enough.
I freed the cylinder, cleaned the binding wafer, and confirmed the key still communicated correctly with the immobilizer after the repair. Then I decoded the worn blade and cut a fresh one to spec, because a blade that has been used for 20-plus years tends to lose definition on the cuts and that contributes to a cylinder fighting back.
She tested the key herself before I packed up. Turned clean, started right up, remote functions all working. She was driving home within 40 minutes of calling me.
The dealer route would have been days of waiting and a much heavier bill. She did not leave her car in a dark parking lot overnight.

What no-hassle service sounds like
“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”
“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”
