Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Automotive Locksmith

The Chevrolet S-10 Blazer was produced 1982–1995 and again 1999–2000. A nameplate that ran, stopped and returned is worth flagging when you call: the two runs are usually different vehicles underneath, with different key systems, and the model year decides which one you have. It is a discontinued pickup truck, which mainly affects blank and fob availability rather than whether the work can be done — older platforms are frequently easier to key than new ones, not harder.

The S-10 Blazer’s 1982–2000 run crosses two key generations: model years 1982–1995 predate transponder immobilizers in the US market, so a replacement there is usually a cutting job rather than a programming one; and 1996–2000 sit in the transponder era, where the key carries a chip and often a remote head, so the work is cutting and programming together. Which one applies to a particular S-10 Blazer is decided by its model year and trim, not by the nameplate, so have the year ready when you call.

At 26+ years since the last Chevrolet S-10 Blazer was built, wear is the usual reason a key stops working rather than failure of the key itself. A cylinder that has accepted the same key for decades eventually stops aligning to it, and a key cut fresh to code often works better in that lock than the worn original it replaces.

Eligibility for the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer is confirmed against the exact model year and trim before a job is treated as scheduled, and proof of identity and vehicle ownership or written authorization is required before any key is originated or programmed.
