1997 Chevrolet Astro
Quick Key Replacement Service in Ventura County

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Ask for a license number, a written estimate for your specific Chevy model, and the company name before they roll. Scam locksmiths quote low on the phone and inflate the price in your driveway. One owner was quoted 299 for a key, then hit with a surprise programming fee that pushed the bill to 899, and the remote barely worked. Another was charged 300 per key plus a fake code fee on a GM vehicle that a locksmith said should have been 30 to 40 dollars for the second key. We give you a firm price on the phone and it does not change.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Yes. We program both the transponder chip for engine start authorization and the remote functions for lock, unlock, and any other buttons your 1997 Chevrolet Astro has. We run the full GM security relearn and test everything before we leave. One owner paid a locksmith over 700 for a fob where the buttons only worked every tenth press. That does not happen with us. We verify every function on the spot.

Q: What battery does the 1997 Chevrolet Astro key fob use?

The 1997 Chevrolet Astro uses a CR2032 battery. You can pick one up at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so you are starting with a full charge. If your Chevy fob is losing range or acting sluggish, a new battery is the first thing to try before assuming the key needs to be replaced.

Q: What happens if something goes wrong after you leave?

We warranty our work. If the key we made has any issue under normal use, we come back and fix it or replace it. A 2022 Tahoe owner had two locksmiths tell them fob programming could not be done because the system is encrypted. Other Tahoe owners confirmed a properly equipped locksmith handles it in 15 minutes. The difference is equipment and experience. With us, if we made the key and something goes wrong, we take care of it.

🔧 PRO TIP

On most 2007-2016 Chevys with a transponder key, adding a spare takes about 10-15 minutes if you already have one working key. Lose all your keys and we need to run a 30-minute security relearn, which is why a spare now saves you real time and money later.

1997 Chevrolet Astro Mechanical Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Older Chevy trucks with the B106 or B111 keyway are some of the fastest key jobs I run. The lock is simple to decode, the blanks are basic to cut, and the 10-minute immobilizer learn on these trucks is the quickest GM procedure out there. A spare with a working original can be done in 15 to 20 minutes flat.

A customer on a road trip stopped at a rest area outside Simi Valley and his key snapped clean in the ignition of his 1997 Chevrolet Astro. Half the blade was stuck in the cylinder and the other half was in his hand. He was afraid to force it and didn't want to make it worse. I could hear the panic in his voice when he called.

I used my B106 Lishi to extract the broken fragment without damaging the wafers. Then I decoded the lock, cut a new blade, and programmed the transponder through OBD. His truck uses a B111-PT transponder key, FCC ID , with a separate remote fob. The immobilizer learn took one 10-minute security cycle and the new key fired the engine on the first turn.

He was back on the highway in under an hour from when he called, and the total was 95. The dealer would have charged 200 minimum plus a tow and a multi-day wait. A snapped key at a rest area feels like a disaster. For these older GM trucks, it's one of the simplest jobs I do.

“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.”
