BSIS license LCO#6792 means I passed California's background check, carry active liability insurance, and operate a registered locksmith business. NASTF certification gives me access to factory security data for Volvo that unlicensed operators can't obtain. Google Guaranteed means Google independently verified my credentials.
A customer at the walk-in clinic near La Mesa Village told me she'd checked my license before calling. Her previous locksmith had no license, no Volvo experience, and showed up with a tool that couldn't even read the CEM module. He charged her $200 and left with the car still dead. She needed a spare for her 1996 Volvo S40 and was done taking chances on unlicensed operators.
NASTF access specifically matters on Volvo because the CEM and KVM modules use encrypted data that authorized tools can read correctly. Unauthorized tools sometimes fail mid-write and can corrupt the module. Her key, FCC ID , was programmed through the correct security channel with my ACDP.
Her spare cost $171. Dealer quoted $366. I gave her a real receipt, a real license number, and a real company van with my name on it. You can look up LCO#6792 on the BSIS website right now. It's public record.

“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”
“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.”
