2001 Mazda Protege Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was parked off the street near Serra Cross/Grant Park on a weekday afternoon, wrapping up another call, when I got a voicemail from a guy who said his only key for a 2001 Mazda Protege had snapped. Not lost. Snapped. Half in the ignition, half in his hand.
He'd tried to work it out himself with a paperclip, which is a move I understand even if it rarely ends well. By the time I got there, the broken piece was still seated in the cylinder, and he was standing in his driveway looking at it the way people look at a parking ticket.
I extracted the broken piece without pulling the cylinder, which is the part that takes patience. Once the barrel was clear, I cut a fresh key to the vehicle, tested it in both the ignition and the door, and he was back in business.
He'd called a dealer before he called me. They told him to tow it in. He would have been waiting days and paying a good chunk more than what he paid me on site. The whole thing took under an hour, including the extraction. He kept the broken halves as a reminder not to force a stiff ignition.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
