Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2011 Cadillac SRX Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Over in Juanamaria, I got a call around 1am from a guy whose only fob had stopped communicating with his SRX. It was sitting in the driveway, push-button start, no key the car would recognize, and he had already pulled up flatbed prices on his phone. He figured tow in the morning, wait at the dealer, lose a day of work.

I told him to stay put.

When I got there he met me at the driveway a little skeptical, the way people get when they have already mentally committed to the worst-case version of the day. The SRX just sat there with the dash doing nothing useful when he pressed start.

I connected my scan tool to the OBD port and ran the all-keys-lost procedure for GM's proximity key system. It involves a security reset and timed wait cycles that you cannot shortcut, so I walked him through what was happening while we waited. New fob, registered to the car, tested on every door handle and the start button. Done before 2am.

He kept saying he thought this kind of thing had to happen at a dealership. I hear that a lot on these late-night calls. The dealer comparison came up on its own and I just told him what he would have paid there, plus a tow he didn't need. He did the math himself.
