🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 Jeep Cherokee takes a basic edge-cut metal key. No fob, no remote, no chip programming involved. The key blade is cut to the vehicle, full stop. What trips people up is that the ignition cylinder on these XJs can wear down after 25-plus years, so a freshly cut key might feel stiff or not turn smoothly on the first try. That is usually the cylinder, not a bad cut. If you have the original key, decoding it directly gives the most accurate duplication. If you only have the lock, a good locksmith can decode it right off the cylinder or door lock. No trip to the dealer needed.

1998 Jeep Cherokee Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was parked near the taco spot off Main in Santa Paula's East Area 2 when a guy walked up and asked if I was the locksmith he called. He had that look people get when they just got a number quoted at a dealership and needed a minute to process it.

He had picked up a 1998 Jeep Cherokee from a small lot. One key. The lot told him getting a spare would be easy. The dealer corrected that assumption fast and quoted him a price that stopped the conversation cold. He found me online and figured he would at least ask.

I pulled out the key blank that matched his Cherokee and decoded the cut from his original while he finished his food. A few minutes of work at my bench, and I had a duplicate cut and ready. Handed it to him, he walked to the Jeep and turned the ignition. Smooth.

He asked me why the dealer wanted so much for what is honestly a metal key. I told him dealers have overhead, flat rate labor, and they are not set up to compete on simple jobs. I am. He left with two working keys and paid a fraction of what the dealer wanted.

“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”

“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”

Jeep Cherokee Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I am locked out with no spare. Can you come to me in Santa Paula?
Yes. Call and I will come to wherever you are in Santa Paula's East Area 2 or the surrounding area. I carry the blanks and cutting equipment to handle the 1998 Cherokee on site. No tow truck, no waiting room, no dropping the vehicle off. For a mechanical key vehicle like this one, the whole job happens right where you are parked. If you are locked out and have no spare, that is exactly the situation a mobile locksmith is built for.
Do I need to tow my Cherokee to the dealer for a replacement key?
What do I need to show to prove I own the Jeep?
My 1998 Cherokee ignition is worn and the key sometimes does not turn. Do I need a new key or a new cylinder?
Can I get a key made from the VIN if I have no working key at all?
