2008 Dodge Viper Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy parked off East Santa Paula, near the old orchard roads on the edge of town.

He'd been out doing what people do on a slow Saturday morning and somewhere between getting out and getting back, his only key to his 2008 Dodge Viper was gone. Not in his pocket, not on the ground near the car, just gone. He'd owned the car for years and never bothered getting a spare cut. A lot of single-key owners are like that until the day they aren't.

He figured he was looking at a tow and a long wait at a dealer service bay. I told him to sit tight.

When I got there the car was parked in a tight spot with afternoon sun hitting the hood. I worked the door cylinder with my pick set and decoded every wafer position. The Viper's lock is not the kind of thing that gives up its depths easily, but patience and the right tools get there. Once I had the cut data I pulled a blank from my stock, cut it on the mobile machine, and had him try the door and the ignition. Both turned clean on the first try.

He looked at the key for a second like he was waiting for something else to happen. Nothing else happened. Car started, job done, right there in the East Santa Paula afternoon.

He asked what a dealer would have charged and how long it would have taken. I told him the timeline alone, forget the cost, would have been days, not hours. He just nodded.
