2006 GMC Savana
We Bring the Key Shop to You in Santa Barbara County

Q: How fast can you get to my location?

That depends on where you are in Santa Barbara, Arlington Theatre area and our schedule when you call. We give you an honest arrival window on the phone. Because we are mobile and already out on the road, we can often get to you much faster than the dealer alternative. A Canyon owner who was locked out reported a mobile locksmith arriving in about 20 minutes and having the truck open in five. Compare that to trailering your Yukon or Sierra to a dealer and waiting days for a tech to be available.

Q: Can I get a key made today?

In most cases, yes. We carry key blanks, cutting equipment, and programming tools for GMC models in our service vehicle. If we have your key in stock and our schedule allows it, we can be at your location and have a new metal key cut, programmed, and tested the same day you call. A GM dealer tech admitted the actual programming is about 15 minutes with dealer software after all the waiting is done. We deliver that same 15 minutes of real work without the weeks of scheduling wrapped around it.

Q: What battery does the 2006 GMC Savana key fob use?

The 2006 GMC Savana uses a CR2032 battery. You can find them at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so your new key is ready to go from the moment we hand it to you. A weak battery is one of the most common reasons a GMC fob starts acting sluggish, so it is worth checking before calling for a full replacement.

Q: Do I need an appointment?

No formal appointment is needed. Call us, we confirm your vehicle details and give you a price, and we schedule a time that works for you. Many of our GMC jobs are same-day. At a dealer, a Yukon XL owner had to wait from Friday to Monday just for the right tech to look at the truck. Another owner described a dealer quoting "2 hours" for key reprogramming that actually took about 30 minutes of real work. We do not operate on a dealership schedule with hour-long labor blocks and multi-day backlogs.

🔧 PRO TIP

If you're buying a used GMC and it only came with one key, budget for a second one right away. Going from add-a-key to all-keys-lost doubles the difficulty, the time on-site, and the price on every GMC model from Sierra to Terrain.

2006 GMC Savana Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Sunday morning. Church lot in Santa Barbara. A youth pastor with a 2006 GMC Savana walked out after service and his key fob wouldn't unlock the car. Dead fob, dead buttons, push-to-start wouldn't wake up. The dealer was closed and the only number that picked up was mine.

He didn't know what was wrong. He just knew it wouldn't start and he had a youth group lunch to get to in an hour.

I got to the church lot near Arlington Theatre in about 40 minutes. I tested his fob first and the battery was dead, plus the transponder was corrupted signal that a battery swap alone wouldn't fix. I used my VVDI Key Tool to generate a fresh transponder chip and build a new fob matched to his vehicle. His new fob, FCC ID , was a -button smart key with remote start. I programmed through OBD and tested lock, unlock, start, and remote start. He seemed pretty relieved when the whole thing was done in under 30 minutes.

He made the youth group lunch on time. Total was 95. The dealer would have been 200 on Monday at the earliest. Weekends and after-hours aren't special pricing for me. I charge the same rate Sunday morning as Tuesday afternoon.

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”

“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”

GMC Savana Same-Day Key Replacement FAQ

What to expect price-wise

How long does a 2006 GMC Savana key replacement take?▼

Most GMC key replacements take 15 to 45 minutes once we are at your vehicle. A straightforward add-a-key where you already have one working key can program in just a couple of minutes using the fast on-board procedure. An all-keys-lost job on GM trucks typically requires a 30-minute security relearn, three 10-minute cycles with the key in ON position, before the system accepts the new key. Either way, you are looking at well under an hour from arrival to a tested, working key in your hand.
