1996 Buick Riviera Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Over near Rocky Peak Trail in Simi Valley, a woman had a 1996 Riviera she'd bought third-hand from a friend of a friend. One key, no spare, and the KOBUT1BT fob shell was cracked halfway down the seam. She'd been holding it together with a rubber band for about six months.
The thing still worked. Mostly. Lock, unlock, trunk, panic. But the CR2032 kept shifting inside the broken housing and she'd lose range. Sometimes she had to walk right up to the door and press the button against the glass. She told me she'd called the dealer and they wanted her to come in and wait, and the number they quoted her made her decide the rubber band was fine.
I set up on the hood. Opened the cracked fob, confirmed the board was intact, no corroded traces, no lifted pads. Read her PASS-Key II resistor value off the original blade with my IM608 since that pellet is the real security on these cars, one of 15 resistance values GM used. Decoded the lock, cut two fresh key blades matched to the correct resistor pellet, and transferred her working board into a new KOBUT1BT shell. Then I built a second complete fob and programmed both remotes to the receiver.
She went from one cracked fob held together by office supplies to two clean keys in about 45 minutes. The moment she hit unlock from ten feet away and heard the chirp, she just stood there staring at the car like it was new.
Having two working keys on a Riviera this age is not a luxury. It is the difference between a quick duplicate and a very expensive all-keys-lost job down the road.

“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
“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.”
