2018 Chevrolet Impala
Discount Key Replacement Service in Santa Barbara County

Q: How does mobile key replacement work?

You call us and give us your year, make, model, and VIN. We confirm the right key for your 2018 Chevrolet Impala and give you a price on the phone. We come to your location with everything we need: the key blank, cutting tools, and GM-capable programming equipment. We cut the key, program the transponder and remote functions, run any required security relearn cycles, test everything, and hand you a working key. The whole process happens right next to your car. No tow truck, no waiting room.

Q: What do I need to have ready when you arrive?

Just your vehicle, a valid photo ID, and proof of ownership like your registration or title. We pull the VIN from your dashboard plate or door jamb to verify the key specs. Chevy dealers require the same documentation and can look up your key cut code from the VIN. One GM owner was told the dealer has access to the cut code linked to their VIN, but they still had to bring the vehicle in for programming. We verify everything on site in minutes and handle both cutting and programming at your location.

Q: What battery does the 2018 Chevrolet Impala key fob use?

The 2018 Chevrolet Impala uses a CR2032 battery. You can find them 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 current Chevy fob is losing range or acting inconsistent, try a new battery before assuming the key needs to be replaced.

Q: Can you come to my office or workplace?

Absolutely. A big chunk of our calls are to workplaces, office parking lots, and job sites across the Santa Barbara Museum of Art neighborhood in Santa Barbara. You do not need to take time off or leave work to deal with a key issue. One Chevy owner described a locksmith who came to their driveway, hooked the car up, and programmed the key right there for way less than the dealer. With us you are looking at about 15 to 45 minutes at your vehicle depending on the service and zero disruption to your schedule.

2018 Chevrolet Impala Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

My price for a 2018 Chevrolet Impala key covers everything. The flip key or fob housing, the blade cut, the ID46 transponder chip, and the OBD programming to sync it with your car's immobilizer. I drive to wherever your Chevy is sitting and do it all on the spot. It usually comes out to around 178, and there's no "diagnostic fee" or "shop supplies" tacked on after.

Dealers split it up on purpose. Fob cost, cutting fee, programming labor, shop supplies. An office worker at a business park in Santa Barbara got a quote from the Chevy dealer for a spare key on her Impala. The fob alone was over $150 from the parts counter. Programming was another $120. And that assumed she could get the car there during a workday, which she couldn't without paying for a tow.

I plugged my IM608 into the OBD port under her dash during her lunch break. Her truck used a separate transponder key and remote, FCC ID OHT01060512. I cut the key, programmed the transponder, and synced the remote in one visit.

She saved over $200 compared to the dealer's 374 quote once you add the tow she skipped. Her total was 178. Every piece of that job was included. No line item surprises, no shop fee tacked on at the register.

Do I need to bring my 2018 Chevrolet Impala somewhere for key replacement?▼

No. EZ Car Keyz is a fully mobile service. We come to wherever your vehicle is, whether that is your driveway, your job, or a parking lot in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art neighborhood in Santa Barbara. Chevy dealers require you to either drive in with a working key or have the vehicle towed to their service bay. One Chevy owner was told the car had to be towed in and each fob would cost 600. Multiple commenters immediately told them to call a locksmith instead. We handle everything on site and you keep your vehicle the entire time.
