Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2007 Cadillac DTS Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A homeowner in the Spanish Hills neighborhood of Camarillo called me on a Tuesday morning. His 2007 DTS had been sitting in his driveway since the weekend. He had one key, it had snapped at the base of the blade -- not fully broken off inside the cylinder, just sheared at the shoulder, which was the lucky version of that story. He still had both pieces.

He'd already called the dealer. They told him to tow it in, said they'd need to verify ownership, order the blank, and it could be two or three days before he'd hear back. He asked if they could just cut him a key in the parking lot and they laughed at him a little.

I was parked in his driveway inside of an hour. My van carries blanks and a cutting machine, so I decoded the existing lock cylinder right there, cut a replacement key to match, and ran the programming sequence through the OBD port to enroll it with the immobilizer. Tested it three times: starts, runs, no warning lights.

He held up the snapped old key and just shook his head. He'd been thinking about what a tow and a two-day dealer visit was going to cost him, and here I was packing up my bag in his driveway before noon. The DTS never left the property.
