Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2016 Chevrolet Traverse Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A woman in Storke Ranch called me on a Tuesday morning. She had one working key left for her 2016 Traverse and her husband had taken it to work by mistake. She had a spare that a hardware store had cut months earlier, sitting in a drawer, never used. She tried it that morning out of desperation. It turned. The engine cranked. Then it died.

She called the dealer first. They told her to bring it in, said they'd need to order a key blank, and gave her an appointment four days out.

Then she called me.

I drove out and met her in Storke Ranch. The hardware store cut was actually decent, which is not always the case. I didn't need to recut anything. I pulled up the programming sequence through the OBD port, enrolled the transponder chip to her vehicle's immobilizer, and handed it back to her. She turned it. Engine started, ran, stayed running.

The whole call, including drive time, was done before her dealer appointment would have even been scheduled.

She asked me what was wrong with the key. I told her nothing was wrong with the cut. The chip just wasn't in the system yet. That's all it ever was.
