1996 Kia Sportage MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A young couple near Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks had just bought a used 1996 Kia Sportage from a private seller. Good shape, fair price, one key. The seller told them getting a spare would be easy. They called the Kia dealer anyway and got quoted for a key plus a trip to the service bay. They had just stretched their budget on the down payment and insurance, and the dealer wanted them to bring the car in during weekday hours.
They found me online before they even drove the Sportage home. I met them at the seller's driveway.
The 96 Sportage uses a plain mechanical key, no transponder chip, no immobilizer module. KIA3 blank, cut to match the existing key. I set up my Condor on the tailgate, decoded the original, cut a fresh blank, and tested it in the ignition, driver door, and hatch. Smooth turns on all three.
The guy held both keys in his hand and looked at them like he was comparing for mistakes. His girlfriend told him to stop being weird. He laughed and put the spare in the glovebox.
That second key also means if one ever goes missing, the next call is just a simple copy instead of a decode-from-scratch job. For a couple on a tight budget with a new-to-them truck, that kind of cushion matters.

Lockout to Five-Star Review
Lost key panic turned to five-star praise
“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.”
“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“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.”
