Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2000 Lincoln LS Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

There's a storage complex on the edge of Casa Conejo where a guy keeps a small collection of older vehicles. He called me on a Saturday morning about his 2000 Lincoln LS. He'd been driving it occasionally to keep it from sitting too long, but somewhere between the last drive and that morning, the key had gone missing. He had no spare.

He told me upfront he'd already called the dealer. They wanted him to tow it in, make a weekday appointment, and wait. He wasn't interested in any of those steps.

I pulled up to the unit and the car was sitting clean, battery was good, no issues beyond the missing key. I decoded what I needed, cut a new blade to spec from the K-H74 blank I carry on the truck, and ran the transponder enrollment through the OBD port with my programmer. The security system went through its timing cycle, accepted the new key, and that was it. Turned the ignition, engine came up clean, no stall, no warning light sitting on.

He stood there for a second and said he expected it to take all day. It didn't.

The whole job was done before he finished his coffee. He saved a good chunk compared to the dealer route, and he didn't have to arrange a tow or lose a weekday to a service appointment.
