1996 Ford Explorer Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out at Surfers Point on a Saturday morning, a guy had his hands full. Surfboard on the roof rack, wetsuit half on, and his key snapped off flush in the door lock. Not bent, not stuck. Broken clean off inside the cylinder.
He called thinking it was going to wreck the whole day. Figured he was looking at a tow and a Monday dealer appointment and a weekend with no car.
I was already in Ventura. I drove over, pulled the broken key section out of the cylinder with the right extraction tools, then decoded the lock to get the cut. Wrote it down, cut a fresh key blade right there on site, tested it in the door, tested it in the ignition. Fit and turned on the first try.
He was in the water within the hour. Paid a fraction of what the dealer would have charged just for the tow alone, let alone the key.
No programming, no appointments, no waiting room. Just a clean cut and a working key before the tide changed.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
