Car Key Locksmith in South Poway
Third call from The Sands apartments this year. Different unit, same problem: one key, no spare. This time it was a Honda Accord, parked in the assigned spot off Hilleary Place. I pulled the bitting with a HON66 Lishi, cut a fresh high-security blade, and synced a new 46 chip through the diagnostic port using the Smart Pro. Fifteen minutes and she had a working key and a spare. That complex generates repeat business because nobody in Poway thinks about a backup key until they're standing in the parking lot with nothing.

CUT, PROGRAM, EXTRACT
Spare & Duplicate Keys
I handle a handful of these on Honda Accords every month. The 46 chip inside these keys won't clone at a hardware store, so I bring the Smart Pro and write a fresh transponder directly to the immobilizer at the vehicle's data port. Last one was at The Sands apartments, took twelve minutes, and the owner walked away with two working keys. Transponder spare keys run $145-$185.
Car Key Replacement
I handle more all-keys-lost Subaru jobs in Poway than I expected when I started covering this area. Outback owners lose their only key on a trail off Midland Road and call me from the parking lot. The DAT17 keyway reads clean with a Lishi pick, and I cut a new blade and register the transponder using the Autel IM608 at the vehicle's OBD-II connector. Full remote head key replacement runs $175-$225.
Ignition Repair & Replacement
I handle these on Chevy trucks more than anything else. Silverado ignitions wear out because the B111 high-security wafers erode over thousands of key insertions. Once the key starts sticking or won't turn past ACC, the wafers are done. I pull the lock housing, rebuild with fresh wafers, and re-key everything so the original key still works all doors. If the cylinder walls are scored too deep, a rebuild won't hold and I'll tell you before I start. Ignition repair runs $175-$275 depending on the housing condition.
Push-to-Start / Smart Key
I handle several proximity key jobs on Hyundai Tucsons every month. Lost the only fob, the car won't detect a thing. I register a new smart key using the Autel IM608, cut the emergency insert blade with an HY22 profile, and erase the old fob from the system so it's dead. $245-$325.

What Poway Customers Say
"Showed up within an hour at 4:30. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn out ignition. Took 10-15 mins. Works perfectly, indistinguishable from a brand new dealer key."
Dan G."I requested a quote for a laser cut key and Niv gave me the best price. Literally done in less than 20 min upon arriving. Will definitely keep him in mind and recommend to everyone I know."
Andrea Martinez"Even though the name says "EZ Car Keyz", Tim was able to get into my locked house. Others said they'd have to drill the lock out. Tim used his special tool to read the key pattern and made a new key right on the spot within minutes. Then made me a couple extra keys! Super fair pricing."
