2006 GMC Savana
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2006 GMC Savana MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Sunday morning near Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara. A youth pastor with a 2006 GMC Savana called because his only key snapped off in the driver door lock. Half the blade was still jammed in the cylinder. He had a youth group lunch in an hour and the dealer was closed until Monday.

I got there in about 40 minutes. First thing I did was extract the broken piece from the door lock. It came out clean, no cylinder damage. The break was right at a stress point in the blade where the B102 cuts get thin, which I see a lot on older GM keys that have been on a heavy keyring for years.

Here is the thing about the 2006 Savana that most people do not realize: there is no transponder chip in this key. No immobilizer. No VATS or Passlock tied to the key itself. It is a straight mechanical cut, B102 blank, GM part 15026223. So the fix was simple. I decoded the broken pieces, cut a fresh key on my HPC Blitz, and tested it in the ignition, both doors, and the rear. Turned over on the first try.

He looked at me like there had to be more to it. There was not. No computer hookup, no 10-minute relearn, no module reset. Just a clean cut key that matched his locks.

He made lunch on time. The whole thing took maybe 20 minutes once I was on site.
