Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a woman parked near the water in South Bank. She had a 2010 Tahoe and one key left, and that one key was getting worn down to the point where she was wiggling it in the ignition every morning hoping it would catch. She wanted a spare before the worn key gave out completely and left her stranded.

She had already called the dealer. They told her to bring it in, leave it for the day, and they would get to it when they could. The quote was enough to make her hesitate. A coworker told her to call me instead.

I pulled up to her block with my programming gear. The Tahoe uses a transponder key, and the job runs through the OBD port. I read the security data, cut a replacement blade to match her lock, and walked through the programming sequence. Her original worn key stayed enrolled too, which mattered to her because she wanted a backup for the backup.

Total time at the car was about 25 minutes. She tested both keys herself, which I always encourage. The worn one still turned and the new one fired right up.

The dealer visit would have taken her whole afternoon. This was done before lunch.
