2016 Subaru Crosstrek Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A grad student in Upper Village in Montecito called me after hitting a wall with the dealer. He drives a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek, one smart key, and the plastic housing had cracked right at the blade pivot. The split was getting wider every time he used the emergency insert, and he knew the blade was a week away from snapping off inside the door cylinder.
He called the dealer first. They told him to tow it in and wait for a part order by VIN. He asked how long. They said a few days for the fob, then a programming appointment after that.
I showed up at his apartment visitor lot with the key blank and my DAT17 Lishi tool. Subaru runs a side-milled keyway on these, and the Lishi picks and decodes the lock wafers so I can cut an exact match without needing the original blade intact. His new HYQ14AHC was cut, the transponder registered through the OBD port, and all four buttons tested out in under 40 minutes.
He kept turning the key over in his hand like he was checking for a catch.
No tow. No parts counter. No second appointment. Just the finished key, on site, for a fraction of what the dealer quoted him.

“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
