Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2014 Chevrolet Traverse Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Mira Monte has these covered parking setups where the spots are tight, the overhead clearance is low, and getting a tow truck anywhere near the vehicle is basically a non-starter. That was exactly the situation when a Traverse owner called me. The car was sitting in an assigned covered spot, surrounded on three sides, and his only working key had stopped being recognized at the ignition.

He had tried the usual things. Cleaned the key, tried it slower, tried it faster. The engine would not turn over. He was not locked out of the car, just locked out of starting it, which is its own kind of frustrating because the car is right there and you can sit in it and go nowhere.

I parked on the street and walked in with my bag. No tow required, no shop visit, no waiting for a service bay. I had the right key blank on me, cut it to the vehicle, enrolled the transponder through the OBD port, and ran the security relearn right there in his covered spot. The whole job was done before he finished his coffee.

He had also asked about a spare on the spot, which is the smartest thing anyone can ask while I am already connected to the car. Adding a second key when I am already set up takes a few extra minutes and costs a fraction of what the dealer quoted him for even one key.
