1997 Ford Expedition Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Near Bubbling Springs Park in Port Hueneme, a guy with a 1997 Expedition lost his only key somewhere in the sand while walking his dog. He spent a solid hour retracing his route, checked with every person he passed, and came up empty.

By the time he called me, he had already looked up tow trucks. He figured the Expedition was stuck there until Ford could see it, and the earliest dealer appointment he found was three days out. He sounded tired.

I got there that afternoon. First thing, I used my H75 Lishi pick to open the driver's door and decode each wafer position in the lock. The 1997 Expedition runs a simple 10-cut H75 keyway with no transponder and no PATS module, so once I had the code read, the hard part was done. Cut a fresh H75 on my mobile machine, slid it in the ignition, and the truck fired right up.

He just stood there for a second, like he expected it to be harder than that.

I cut him a second key on the spot so he would have a spare in his wallet. The whole thing took maybe 25 minutes. No tow, no waiting days for a dealer slot, no transponder programming because the 1997 does not have one. He drove home from that same lot with two working keys in his pocket.
