Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2009 Dodge Journey Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in Sterling Hills called me on a Tuesday morning. He had just bought a 2009 Dodge Journey at an auction lot in Camarillo and was still in the parking area when we talked. One key, no spare, and the auction staff had already told him that a spare was his problem to sort out.

He had called the dealer first. They quoted him a number that made him pause hard enough to go looking for another option. That's when he found me.

I told him to stay put. I drove out to the lot, which was maybe fifteen minutes from where I was already working that morning.

The Journey was sitting right where he left it after the auction. He handed me his single remote head key, and I used that to verify what the vehicle had stored before touching anything. Matched the blank, cut the blade on my machine in the lot, then connected through the OBD port to pull the PIN and enroll the new key into the immobilizer. No tow, no appointment, no waiting room.

I handed him back both keys and walked him through testing every button on the new one. Everything worked. He asked me if the dealer would have done the same job. Same result, yes. Same morning, in his parking spot, for a fraction of what they wanted - no.

He drove home from that auction lot with a spare key, which honestly should have been the plan before the bidding even started.
