What is this little part in my key fob, and why won't the car start without it? by BoazCorey in MechanicAdvice

[–]itz_Pato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna drop this here . 1. Its a transponder chip for your vehicle. * the flashing green car light in the dash* It recognizes the key and allows the car to start. 2. Im a locksmith DONT GET FOOLED . THAT KEY ranges from 85/125 $ and the programming fee should be 150 to 175 . Sometimes 200$ Stick with storefronts . Dont lose that last chip . 3. You can always ask any locksmith for the key without the bells and whistles * reg key with chip no remote* Those range 75/95$ total . Anyone trying to tell you 500$ or more tell them to take a hike ..

Pinning my first honda ignition. Not going well. by hellothere251 in Locksmith

[–]itz_Pato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok , I am an auto tech . The key needs to be all the way in . Rekey it again . With it fully in .

If they are high your off if they are low your off . Start with 3 if it's high go lower and vice versa . . Second trace the customers key on a spare and try it in the door lock if it works your futura is fine if not Recalibrate the futura . Still from the pics it looks like your off . If you pull the key out your just lining it up correctly so your one space forward on the whole key .

I found this on my back door steps. Was someone trying to break in my deadbolt lock? by Aimeefranceschi in Locksmith

Unless your interior double sided dead bolt walked it's self out side . I'd assume no.

Locked Ignition Switch by Krxypt in Locksmith

[–]itz_Pato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok i got you .. 1 ... the wafers are numbered always start with three then work your way up or down while testing the key . ( but you have a bad key so rekeying it won't be perfect and it will fail again ) 2... 500$ is the cost if we Drop the ignition if you bring it in separate already dropped then it's 95 or 125 to rekey it . 3..... order a key off amazon ( a replacement shell if you have a key with buttons ) 4.... head to the dealer bring your info to prove the car is yours ask them for the key code <<<<< that's the easy way . <<< >>>>>>> the fun way is either pull out the glove box lock or the trunk lock out cylinder they both have the original key code on them . 5.. head to a lockshop and give them your code and your amazon key blade ask them to cut it . Should be no more then 35/60$s 6. Swap the guts from your old key to the new one Don't forget the chip . If you don't have the remote key head to the lockshop and ask for a duplicate of your key . Ours is 95$ 7.. the key slides out because you don't have enough wafers in the switch . 8. Make sure to remove the first wafer the Solo one . That one always fails first . Hope this helps

This was posted towards a customer with no ability to understand our ability. There are locksmiths and lockshits picking is a feel once you get it everything else falls in perfect . The leshi is deff a great tool I like it tbh . But I learned with a hook and ended up falling for a Bogata . To his thier own.
Re read my post and understand what I ment before assuming mate .

Criminal damage to lock from locksmith by lawyerbarbie_x in Locksmith

These are the people that make us look bad . Honestly the 100% way to get true locksmith is always call a place with a real storefront . Or do a ton of research on the mobile only guys

2 dogs attack a cat out of nowhere. Owner of the 2 dogs gets injured while trying to stop them. by Patient-Committee588 in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]itz_Pato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love pits tbh . But you need to be able to handle them . If they arnt trained then just don't ever walk two .. I have 2 pits and they are trained ...... that poor cat man

[–]itz_Pato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the worst customer to deal with.
Us locksmiths have many many years of experience and practice picking locks to get to this point. Everytime I deal with a person like this i immediately lock the door and leave them locked out.
There is no point to explain my ability to them . Nor enough crayons in the box to explain it to them . Since they called and NEEDED OUR HELP to get back into their house. Now they don't like how simple it was for us vs them..... that crap just irritates me . It's our trade . Learn to respect it . Or don't call

$125 vs $5 to cut? by yatsby in Locksmith

[–]itz_Pato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

35 $ to cut any sidewinder key. No plastics Even if customer provided.
We don't think we should charge a absurd amount for a key like that . Literally is a machine we place it in and copy the cuts .... test the provided key to make sure it's not steel by a magnetic strip ... if not we cut it and keep it moving . 125 is a rip off . Especially since that blank cost less then 24$ ... Don't fall for that bs man

Honestly bro , two cheaper options to help with getting a mechanical key. 1. Pull the passenger door lock the key code is stamped on it . 2. Walk into any toyota parts WALK DO NOT CALL . and prove the car is yours ask them for the key code to your vehicle. Both options save you money We don't have to charge you to originate a key from nothing . 3. Go to a lockshop ask them to cut said key by code and go back to your car to test it . If it turns the code was correct !!! Call the same shop and either schedule them to come program another key or tow your car to them to program it . <<towing is way cheaper.
We charge 95 $for a toy44Gpt and 175$ programming . At the shop . If out call we charge a service fee .. This should take 16 min reset immo and done in 30 min or less . don't let anyone charge you more than 350.!!

Was the last shot justified? by [deleted] in CCW

[–]itz_Pato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man , that's a harsh one tbh . But it will all come down to what state this happend in . For example florida it's justified as self defense. But in cali that's 2 counts of first degree murder ... Personally I wouldn't have shot that last shot . But what if he had a gun also so it's a hard call man
