Happy Friday! I finally got this door handle replaced on the Astro. After months of procrastinating. Lol. Have a great weekend!

Sometimes I just like to have a little fun with some key options for customers. These are the keys I have all prepped for diesel Smart cars.

I couple of interesting jobs from this past week. Not all key jobs involve just plugging in a programmer. Some stuff is done "on bench" I'm always working on improving my skills and the automotive repair solutions I can provide.

Another Automotive repair solution I do. 2008-2014 Mercedes-Benz C class vehicles and GLKs have a common issue of the steering lock failing and leaving the vehicle in an immobile state.

I stock and program steering lock emulators for these vehicles. I can do them on the car or if someone brings me the ignition switch module and key I can program them away from the vehicle. I can also remove the steering lock whether it's in a failed state or not. As a bonus there is a lot of overlap in steering lock emulator, key programming on these so I can often give a good deal on a bundle. If need be I can also program used EIS ignition switch modules on these cars.

I haven't been posting much as this summer was busy with work and family. Time has just flown by! Now to get refocused as we get back into a routine.

I've been doing a ton of keys including a bunch of these push button start Mazdas. Push button start Mazdas are very picky what keys are used. If the car doesn't like the key there will be a permanent key warning light on. Most of the time only factory Mazda keys should be used. Fortunately I have some special aftermarket keys and tools with some tricks up their sleeve so I can save my customer's money.

Happy Canada Day! I hope you all have a fantastic day. I'm taking the day off to spend time with family and friends.

Yes I used AI to try making a Canada Day themed image. Kind of a fail but I'm using it. Lol.

Have a Mazda and only one key? These can be very picky and most of the time need a factory Mazda key which can be quite expensive, otherwise you will have a key warning light stay on all the time. If you have one original key, most of the time I can make a high quality aftermarket work. The trick is getting the spare key before you loose your one original!

Two new keys for this Mercedes-Benz E-Class after their one and only key stopped working. I can do most Mercedes-Benz vehicles with these "fobik" style keys up until about 2014, 2015. After that it's unfortunately dealer only. I'm always working on expanding what brands and models I can make keys for.

04/03/2026

Happy Easter weekend everyone! We'll be closed until Tuesday as we celebrate and spend time together as a family. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Just got my work van back on the road after fixing a misfire issue and of course the door handle decides to quite working. All part of owning an Astro! Luckily I already had a new GM handle in anticipation.
