1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
Rush Key Replacement 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 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier 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 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier key fob use?

The 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier 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

Most Chevys from 2010 onward use the HU100 high-security sidewinder keyway. If your key looks like it has wavy cuts on the side instead of traditional teeth, that's HU100, and it requires a special cutter to duplicate.

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a warehouse worker at 5:50am from a job site in Moorpark. His shift started at 6 and his 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier flip key had cracked, with the blade snapping off in the ignition that morning. He couldn't be late. You could hear the stress in his voice. The foreman was already clocking people in.

I keep the van stocked and ready early. I was at his site in 20 minutes. I used my B111 Lishi to extract the broken blade and decode the lock. His flip key, FCC ID , needed a new shell, fresh blade, and reprogram. Total hands-on time was about 25 minutes. I gave him a backup for the glovebox too so he wouldn't end up in this spot again.

He clocked in at 6:30 and it cost him 95 total. The dealer would have been roughly 200 plus a tow, plus a full day missed at the warehouse. He texted me that afternoon saying thanks. That's the kind of call I like, where the timing actually matters and I can get there fast enough to make a difference.

“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
