2001 Dodge Intrepid Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy out near Lake Los Carneros, Goleta side, who had been sitting in a parking lot for about two hours before he found me. He'd been riding his ATV on the trails nearby, came back to the lot, and his only key to the 2001 Dodge Intrepid was gone. Somewhere on the trail, somewhere in the dirt. Not coming back.

He'd called another locksmith first. That guy told him the ignition would probably need to be drilled, quoted him something well over four hundred dollars, and said he'd need to order parts. That answer sent him back to his phone looking for someone else.

I decoded his door lock on-site. Reading the wafer positions without touching anything destructive, no drilling, no pulling the cylinder. That gave me the cut depths I needed. I cut a fresh key blade to match, then programmed the transponder to his vehicle through the OBD port. The immobilizer accepted it on the first try.

He turned the key and the Intrepid started like nothing had happened. The lock still works. The ignition still works. His cylinder is exactly as it was when he left the house that morning.

The other locksmith's quote would have left him with a drilled ignition and a replaced cylinder, work he didn't need. The whole job took me under an hour. He drove off the lot, and I had another stop to make before lunch.
