Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

1995 Chevrolet Astro Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was out in Wood Ranch on a Saturday afternoon when the call came in. Guy had his 1995 Chevrolet Astro parked along one of the quieter streets over there, said he'd torn apart the center console and every jacket pocket he owned and the key was simply gone. No spare. One key, total, since he bought the van off a private seller a couple years back.

He figured it was going to be a tow and a long wait.

I was already in Simi Valley, so I told him I could be there in under thirty minutes. When I pulled up, the van was sitting right there in the sun, locked, perfectly fine mechanically, just no way in.

I picked the door lock and decoded the wafer positions from the cylinder. That gave me the exact cut to replicate. I pulled the right blank, cut it on the truck, and had the door open and the ignition turning inside about twenty minutes from when I arrived.

He stood there and said something like "that's it?" Yeah, that's it. No tow, no dealer wait, no VIN lookup game. He asked me to cut a spare right then, which I did, and I told him to keep them on separate key rings so he doesn't lose both at once.

The dealer conversation never really came up. He'd already looked into it and knew the route was longer and cost more. He just needed someone to show up and do the work.
