1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in Spanish Hills called me on a Tuesday evening. He had been moving stuff out of his garage, set his key ring down somewhere, and by the time he was done it was gone. Just gone. The Grand Cherokee was sitting in the driveway and he had no way to move it.

He was already mentally preparing for a tow to the dealer and a week of waiting. He had no idea a mechanical key job is not that complicated when you know what you are working with.

I asked him for the VIN before I drove out. He read it to me off his insurance card. I already knew the key profile from the vehicle description, grabbed the right blank from my van, and headed to Spanish Hills.

When I got there I decoded the lock cylinder on site and cut the key to match. Took one test fit to confirm it was right, and he was back in business.

He asked what the dealer would have charged. I told him honestly that the dealer would have done the same job, but probably not that evening, and not for the same price. He said he was glad he called instead of sitting on hold until morning.

The VIN is the one thing that speeds everything up. If you text it before I arrive, I can sometimes pre-cut the blank in transit and it goes even faster.
