🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 Mazda 626 uses a plain metal key. No chip, no fob, no programming appointment. The key blade is cut to the lock, and that's the whole job. What trips people up is assuming any key shop can pull the key code on a car this age. The code can be decoded right off the lock cylinder or door lock if you know what you're doing, so even an all-keys-lost situation doesn't require towing anywhere. A good locksmith reads the lock, cuts the key, done.

1998 Mazda 626 Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy parked near the shops in Old Town Simi. He'd lost his only key for a 1998 Mazda 626 and had already spent two days trying to sort it out. The dealer told him to tow it in. He called a big-box hardware store that said they might be able to cut one if he could find the code somewhere in the paperwork. He didn't have the paperwork.

I drove out to him. The car was sitting right there on the street, locks intact. I decoded the key directly from the door lock, cut a replacement blade on site, and walked him through it turning cleanly in the ignition and both doors.

He kept waiting for the part where I told him about programming or a wait time for parts to arrive. There wasn't one. A metal key for a car this age is a cut-it-and-go job when you have the right tools with you.

The dealer quote for towing plus a new key was going to cost him a good chunk more than what he paid me. He was driving again inside of thirty minutes from when I pulled up.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

Mazda 626 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost all my keys for my 1998 Mazda 626. Can you still make one without the original?
Yes. All-keys-lost on a 1998 626 is one of the simpler calls I get. The car uses a mechanical key with no electronic registration involved, so there's no immobilizer reset, no timed countdown, no diagnostic tool required. I decode the cut right off the door lock or ignition cylinder, cut a new key on site, and you're back in business. No tow, no dealer visit, no waiting on parts to ship. I come to you in Simi Valley and get it done where the car sits.
Do I need to tow my 626 to the dealer if I have no keys?
How long does a replacement key take for a 1998 Mazda 626?
