1996 Chrysler LHS
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

1996 Chrysler LHS Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was on a first date at a brewery patio in Midtown Ventura when her purse disappeared off the bench. Keys, wallet, phone, all of it. She borrowed the bartender's phone, called the police, then her roommate, then me.

Her 1996 Chrysler LHS was sitting in the lot with no keys at all. Her roommate called the dealer while waiting for the police report. The dealer said they could order parts, but the car would need to be towed in and they were looking at several days before it would be ready. The estimate her roommate got was well over what anyone wants to hear on a Thursday night.

I got there while the police were still finishing the report. All-keys-lost on this generation is a different procedure than adding a spare. When you still have a working key, the car already trusts something and adding another key to the list is the simpler job. When every key is gone, I have to wipe the stored key memory completely so the stolen remote and ignition key are dead to the car, then register new ones from scratch. I pulled the PIN, cleared the old data, and programmed two fresh keys on site. I also decoded the door lock and cut both replacement blades right there in the lot.

She had two working keys before her roommate arrived to pick her up. The stolen key can still physically turn in the lock cylinder if a thief files it down, but the immobilizer won't let the engine start. That part mattered to her. She drove home that night instead of waiting days for a tow and a dealer appointment. The dealer estimate, tow included, was a number she didn't want to repeat out loud. What she paid me was a fraction of that.
