Mitsubishi Galant Automotive Locksmith

The Mitsubishi Galant was produced 1985–2012. It is a discontinued passenger car, 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 Galant’s 1985–2012 run crosses three key generations: model years 1985–1995 predate transponder immobilizers in the US market, so a replacement there is usually a cutting job rather than a programming one; 1996–2006 sit in the transponder era, where the key carries a chip and often a remote head, so the work is cutting and programming together; and 2007–2012 are the proximity era, where push-button start and smart keys spread across trims — and where all-keys-lost is a security operation that can involve a timed wait or erasing keys the car already accepts. Which one applies to a particular Galant is decided by its model year and trim, not by the nameplate, so have the year ready when you call.

A Mitsubishi Galant of this age is at the point where original keys start to show wear and remote batteries have often been replaced several times. If the key has become gradually harder to turn, that is the vehicle reporting cylinder wear rather than a sudden fault.

Eligibility for the Mitsubishi Galant 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.
