1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was working near Downtown Moorpark when a call came in about a 1998 Cavalier. The owner had lost her only key somewhere between the farmers market and her front door, and she had no spare.

She was calm about it, which helped. She had her registration out and the VIN written on a piece of paper she handed me before I even opened the van door. Good prep.

With the VIN, I traced the key code and confirmed the correct blank. Then I decoded the door lock as a cross-check, because on a 26-year-old Cavalier the lock wear can sometimes shift things just enough that a code-cut key drags a little. The decode matched, which is always a good sign on an older car that's been maintained.

I cut the key on site, tested it in the door, tested it in the ignition. Turned right over. She stood there watching the whole thing, a little surprised it took about as long as making a house key at a hardware store.

The dealer had quoted her a wait of several days for a key, plus a service appointment. She saved a good chunk and had a working key in her hand the same afternoon.
