2001 Ford Taurus
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2001 Ford Taurus Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a text from a hiker out near Matilija. He'd been on the trail for a few hours and when he came back to the trailhead, his key was gone. Somewhere on that trail, it had worked its way out of his pocket.

No dealer was going to help him from a dirt lot 20 minutes outside Ojai. He wasn't wrong about that.

He dropped me his GPS pin. I loaded the van with what I needed for his Taurus and drove out to him. The car was sitting exactly where he left it, the only vehicle still in that lot by then.

I decoded the lock to get the cut, made the blade, and then handled the transponder programming on-site. The whole thing happened in the dirt with the car right there.

When the engine turned over and held, he stood there for a second like he expected it to stall. It didn't. He drove out of that trailhead under his own power, same day, no tow, no waiting. The dealer comparison came up on its own, but honestly the tow alone would have cost more than my whole job. That part kind of speaks for itself.
