2015 Ford Transit
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2015 Ford Transit Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was parked on Main Street in Downtown Ventura wrapping up another job when the call came in. Guy had a 2015 Ford Transit, cargo van, and his only key had snapped off in the door lock. Not inside the ignition, not lost somewhere, actually snapped off at the shoulder. Half the blade was sitting in the cylinder.

He had already called the dealer. They told him to tow it in, bring proof of ownership, and plan on waiting. He asked how long. They said probably the next business day. He was sitting in a parking structure trying to figure out how he was going to move a van that wouldn't open.

I told him I could be there in about fifteen minutes.

First thing was extracting what was left of the blade from the cylinder without damaging the wafers. Once that was clear, I could read the lock directly and map out the cut. I decoded the wafer positions, cut a new blade to match, and had the door opening inside forty minutes of pulling up.

He was back in business without a tow, without a next-business-day wait, and for a fraction of what the dealer wanted. He asked if I needed him to sign anything. I just needed his ID and registration, same as the dealer would have asked for, except we did the whole thing right there in the structure.

The broken key stub went in my parts bag. Happens more than people think on commercial vans that see daily use.
