1996 Chevrolet Cavalier MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call at 5:50 in the morning from a guy near Rustic Canyon Golf Course in Moorpark. His 1996 Cavalier key had snapped clean off in the ignition. He worked at a warehouse site nearby and his shift started at six. You could hear the stress. The foreman was already clocking people in.
I keep the van loaded and ready for early calls. I was on site in about 20 minutes.
First thing I did was use my Lishi B102 to extract the broken blade tip from the ignition cylinder. Then I decoded the wafers right off the lock. The Cavalier's VATS pellet read at resistance value 6, which I confirmed with my ohmmeter on the broken piece before cutting anything. If you get that resistance wrong, the Body Control Module thinks someone is stealing the car and kills the fuel for a few minutes.
Cut a new Strattec 595520 blank, matched the pellet value, tested the start. Fired right up first turn. No security light, no lockout. Total hands-on time was maybe 20 minutes.
I cut him a spare too so he could toss it in the glovebox and never be in this spot again. He clocked in at 6:30. A dealer would have meant a tow, a wait for parts, and a full missed shift at least. He texted me that afternoon to say thanks. That is the kind of call I like, where the timing actually matters and I can get there fast enough to change how the day goes.
