I lost the key to my car a long time ago, now im getting it out and I need to know where I can get one made, i believe its illegal for home depot to do it or something like that? Will the honda dealer get one made for me? I really want the key to look like the OEM one, any help? TIA

 

Take your registration to the dealership and they can make you a key. Cost like $40

 

40 dollars damn thats alot.I paid 5 bucks. but i had a spare key.

That's just cutting and copying a key. They have to look up the vin and program a machine to cut the key to the vin. At least down here in expensive So Cal, it's $40

 

I've had my key looked up through the VIN plenty of times before (went through a phase of locking them in the car).

Cost me $5 at Honda each time. That's on a '98 EX coupe too.

Bolded this because I want you to know that it should not cost $40 just because they look it up in the computer. This is in fact the first time I've ever heard of anyone charging or paying so much for a key as old as these cars. cars with chips int he key cost more, but our cars don't have chips.

if you have anything stating that its your car and vin number honda should do it for you.
