1998 Mazda Protege Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy in Presidio flagged me down outside a shop on Chapala. Not exactly flagged down, but he saw the van and came over fast enough that it felt that way.
He had a 1998 Mazda Protege and the key had snapped off at the bow. Not bent, not worn, actually snapped. Half was still in his pocket and the other half was somewhere in the parking lot gravel. He'd already called a dealer and the word "tow" came up in the first thirty seconds of that conversation.
I pulled out the broken piece from the key ring and used it to confirm the key profile. Decoded the door lock to double-check the cut, then cut a fresh key on site right there on Chapala. Took maybe fifteen minutes, most of which was me chatting with him about why he kept the broken piece clipped to a full key ring like it might still work someday.
No tow. No dealer. No waiting three days for a callback.
He drove off toward the 101 with a new key on his ring and a spare in his glove box. The dealer comparison barely came up. It was just the obvious way to handle it.
