1997 Jaguar XK Transponder key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
The locksmith industry has a scam problem and Jaguar owners in Santa Barbara are common targets because luxury car keys command higher prices. You search "locksmith near me," click a cheap ad, and someone shows up with no license, no real tools, and a price that triples at the car.
A patent attorney at the luxury condo lobby in Santa Barbara had called one of those ads for his 1997 Jaguar XK. They quoted $79 on the phone. The tech who showed up charged $490 and the key wouldn't start the car. It physically entered the dash switch but the immobilizer rejected it entirely. The fob had no data written to the chip. He found me through Google Guaranteed and the first thing he asked was how to verify I was real. Fair question.
I gave him my BSIS license number right on the phone, LCO#6792. He verified it on the state website while we were still talking. I used my Smart Pro with Jaguar coverage to actually program the key to the car's immobilizer. His transponder key, FCC ID , came back with all buttons working plus clean push-to-start.
My price was 209, which is what I quoted and what he paid. Dealer charges 418. The $490 from the first locksmith was money gone.

“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
