2001 Mazda 626 MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a woman near Downtown Fillmore area. She had a 2001 Mazda 626 and a story that made me grind my teeth a little.
She'd locked her only key in the trunk. Called one of those cheap-ad locksmiths off a Google search. Guy showed up, got the door open, then told her the car needed transponder programming and charged her almost four times the quoted price. Handed her a receipt with "immobilizer reprogram" written on it. For a car that does not have an immobilizer.
The 2001 626 is a GF-platform car with a mechanical-only ignition. No chip in the key head. No antenna ring around the cylinder. No security light on the dash. There is nothing to program. She got billed for a service that physically cannot be performed on her vehicle.
She found me through Google Guaranteed and called to ask about getting a spare made. I gave her my BSIS license number right on the phone, LCO 6792. She verified it on the state site before I even left my shop.
I met her at the car, decoded the existing key, and cut a fresh MZ31 blank on my mobile machine. Tested ignition, doors, and trunk. Clean turns, no sticking. Took about fifteen minutes total.
She just stood there holding both keys like she was comparing them. Then she said, quietly, "That's really all it needed."
Yeah. That's all it needed.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”
