1997 Hyundai Elantra Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a woman down at Fisherman's Wharf at the Harbor in Oxnard. She was at the CVS nearby and said she'd already looked up my license number before dialing. LCO 6792 on the BSIS website. She told me her last locksmith had no license at all. No company name on the receipt, no license number, and a phone number that went dead a week later. She wasn't doing that again.
She needed a spare for her 1997 Hyundai Elantra. Simple job on paper. The J2 Elantra runs no immobilizer, no transponder, just a mechanical key on an HY14 blank. But simple jobs still go sideways when the original key is worn down to nothing and half the wafers in the cylinder are lazy from 27 years of use.
I decoded the lock directly instead of copying the worn key. Cut a fresh blade to factory depths. Tested it in the ignition, driver door, and trunk. Smooth turns, no wiggle, no binding.
She watched me work from about three feet away the whole time. Not hovering, just paying attention. When I handed her the spare with a real receipt, my license number printed right on it, and my van parked behind me with the name on the side, she just nodded. That was enough.
Dealer would have sent her to a parts counter and a wait. This took minutes, on site, for a fraction of what they'd want.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“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.”
“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.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
